" 1 went through a very handsome apartment
info ante her, most beatititully fitted up, with a
ceiling of the modern work, ' done,' as the King
told me, ' in a week.' Into this room I was shut,
and found in it, standing by the fire, without any
term, the King, Queen, three Princesses, and this
bedchamber-woman, ~vho.ver she was, for I have
not made her ow, but liked her sexy much (be-
cause she seemed to like me). It is impos4ible

cot that any one of them was my superior. The
King Inokt d 15 years younger, and much better in
the face, though as red as ever. Ile said a number
of excel!et4t things, and in the most natural way
The Queen. with aillaZittg adt.ress and cleverness,
cave a turn io the conversation, and mixed in it
just at the right places. You will not believe me
when 1 tell you, that I passed halt an hour (at
least) in the room.

Royal to ekplain the allegorical -figures on the

Pitt, commended the House of Commons, and
said, his illness had in the end been a perfect
bliss, only to him, as proving to him how nobly
the people would support hint when he was
confined.' This tempted me to say, that it
" was no polHcal debate, but the contest between
generous humanity and mean cruelty, and it'

the Chancellor, of Loughborough, and even of
Mr. Baron Hutham, and said, You are althost
,the only min who loves the lind'for its own sake.*,
-Then we talked of Mrs. Siildons, Jordan, &c. and•

Handel ; after which the King made me a most
gracious bow, and said ' I ant going to my din.
