Lord Melbourne is sorry to hear that your Majesty has been at all indisposed.

It will suit him much better to wait upon your Majesty at dinner to-morrow than to-day, as his hand shows some disposition to gather, and it may be well to take care of it.
Lord Melbourne is very glad to learn that everything went off well at Oxford.

Lord Melbourne expected that the Duke of Sutherland[55] would not entirely escape a little public animadversion.

Nothing can be more violent or outrageous than the conduct of the students of both Universities upon such occasions; the worst and lowest mobs of Westminster and London are very superior to them in decency and forbearance.
The Archbishop[56] is a very agreeable man; but he is not without cunning, and Lord Melbourne can easily understand his eagerness that the Queen should not prorogue Parliament in person.

He knows that it will greatly assist the Tories.
