192. oldal - I could not," so runs the Diary, "summon courage to present my memorial; my heart always failed me from seeing the Queen's entire freedom from such an expectation. For though I was frequently so ill in her presence that I could hardly stand, I saw she concluded me, while life remained, inevitably hers.
113. oldal - Willises loudly exhorting him not to heat himself so unmercifully. Heavens, how I ran! I do not think I should have felt the hot lava from Vesuvius — at least not the hot cinders — had I so run during its eruption. My feet were not sensible that they even touched the ground. Soon after, I heard other voices, shriller, though less nervous, call out: 'Stop! stop! stop!
236. oldal - She left me overwhelmed with tender gratitude. The three eldest Princesses were in the next room : they ran in to me the moment the Queen went onward. Princess Augusta and Princess Elizabeth each took a hand, and the Princess Royal put hers over them. I could speak to none of them ; but they repeated, " I wish you happy ! — I wish you health ! " again and again, with the sweetest eagerness.
220. oldal - Princess Royal. I find she does not go to Windsor with the Queen." The Queen meant to spend one day at Windsor, on account of a review which carried the King that way. Some talk then ensued upon the Duke's new carriage, which they all agreed to be the most beautiful that day at Court. I had not seen it, which, to me, was some impediment against praising it. He then said it was necessary to drink the Queen's health. The gentlemen here made no demur, though Mr. De Luc arched his eyebrows in expressive...
188. oldal - Yes, madam; you must give me some of your choice little notes of the Doctor's; we have seen him long enough upon stilts; I want to show him in a new light. Grave Sam, and great Sam, and solemn Sam, and learned Sam— all these he has appeared over and over. Now I want to entwine a wreath of the graces across his brow; I want to show him as gay Sam, agreeable Sam, pleasant Sam; so you must help me with some of his beautiful billets to yourself.
26. oldal - However, we are all here in a most uneasy state. The King is better and worse so frequently, and changes so, daily, backwards and forwards, that everything is to be apprehended, if his nerves are not some way quieted. I dreadfully fear he is on the eve of some severe fever. The Queen is almost overpowered with some secret terror. I am affected beyond all expression in her presence, to see what struggles she makes to support serenity. Today she gave up the conflict when I was alone with her, and burst...
516. oldal - After this, he bent forward, as he was supported nearly tipright by pillows in his bed .... and taking my hand, and holding it between both his own, he impressively said, " Je ne sais si ce sera le dernier mot . . . mais ce sera la derniere pense'e — Notre reunion...
140. oldal - Majesty's commands to inquire — whether you have any of a certain breed of poultry ? NB What breed I do not remember. And to say she has just received a small group of the same herself. NB The quantity I have forgotten. And to add, she is assured they are something very rare and scarce, and extraordinary and curious. NB By whom she was assured I have not heard. And to subjoin, that you must send word if you have any of the same sort. NB How you are to find that out, I cannot tell. And to mention,...
101. oldal - A melancholy day," she writes ; " news bad both at home and abroad. At home the dear, unhappy king still worse; abroad new examinations voted of the physicians. Good heavens ! what an insult does this seem from Parliamentary power, to investigate and bring forth to the world every circumstance of such a malady as is ever held sacred to secrecy in the most private families ! How indignant we all feel here no words can say.
428. oldal - I had a view so near, though so brief, of his face, as to be very much struck by it. It is of a deeply impressive cast, pale even to sallowness, while not only in the eye, but in every feature — care, thought, melancholy, and meditation are strongly marked, with so much of character, nay, genius, and so penetrating a seriousness, or rather sadness, as powerfully to sink into an observer's mind.
