Extract from Contemporary Letters - The moment the dinner was over a vast silver ewer made its appearance, which the Duke of Sussex took, and, rising, presented it to the King, who dipped his napkin in the rose-water, starting up with a demonstration of horror at being so served, and, most dexterously taking the ewer from the Duke, offered it to him in return, after which it was carried round to each guest. The whole was an animated fete, admirably arranged—the Duke's colossal Highlander adding originality, if not charm, to the whole, by perambulating the dinner-table at the close with his deafening bagpipe—the more bewildering in its effects from the smallness of the space between the backs of the guests and the wall, the dining-chamber being small for the number of the party. |
