CHAPTER X
77/196

You don't say that _you_ sympathise with me in my present heavy trial,[66] the heaviest I have ever had to endure, and which will be a sad heartbreaking to me--but I know you do feel for me.

I am quiet and prepared, but still I fell very _sad_, and God knows! very wretched at times, for myself and my country, that _such_ a change must take place.

But God in His mercy will support and guide me through all.

Yet I feel that my constant headaches are caused by annoyance and vexation! Adieu, dearest Uncle! God bless you! Ever your devoted Niece, VICTORIA R.
[Footnote 65: The Queen had driven to Virginia Water to see Prince Albert's beagles hunting, when owing to the hounds running between the horses' legs and frightening them, a pony phaeton and four containing Lord Erroll, Lady Ida Hay, and Miss Cavendish was upset.

One of the postillions was (not dangerously) hurt.] [Footnote 66: _I.e._, Lord Melbourne being succeeded by Sir Robert Peel as Prime Minister.] [Pageheading: DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS] _Viscount Melbourne to Queen Victoria._ SOUTH STREET, _24th August 1841._ Lord Melbourne presents his humble duty to your Majesty.
