Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay

CHAPTER V
42/226

On Wednesday I dined with Labouchere at his official residence in Somerset House.

It is well that he is a bachelor; for he tells me that the ladies his neighbours make bitter complaints of the unfashionable situation in which they are cruelly obliged to reside gratis.

Yesterday I dined with Will Brougham, and an official party, in Mount Street.

We are going to establish a Club, to be confined to members of the House of Commons in place under the present Government, who are to dine together weekly at Grillon's Hotel, and to settle the affairs of the State better, I hope, than our masters at their Cabinet dinners.
Ever yours T.B.M.
To Hannah M.Macaulay.
London: September 20, 1832 My dear Sister,--I am at home again from Leeds, where everything is going on as well as possible.

I, and most of my friends, feel sanguine as to the result.
