'Lady B[essborough]. [aunt] has just been at the Priory of which, allowing for her usual exggeration, she gave me many entertaining accounts [...] she found Caroline and William reading out of the same book, sitting on one chair; Lord and Lady Aberdeen on another, also reading in the same manner, or playing Spillikens, with their arms round one another's necks -- this is her account, remember -- Lord and Lady Hinchbrooke sitting on the couch very civil and simpering; Mr. and Mrs. Hooley and Mr. and Mrs. Huddlestone finished the group.' |
