167/204 Next week I dine with Littleton, the member for Staffordshire, and his handsome wife. He told me that I should meet two men whom I am curious to see, Lord Plunket and the Marquess Wellesley; let alone the Chancellor, who is not a novelty to me. There I found the Dutch Ambassador, M.de Weissembourg, Mr.and Mrs.Vernon Smith, and Admiral Adam, a son of old Adam, who fought the duel with Fox. |
