25th [Oct.].—Our training, thanks to my stars, is this day at an end ; and so should I have been also, had I been obliged to weather another such a month. What with sitting till midnight over sloe juice, occasional suppers &c. (kept up till morning), plays, balls, grand singing, dinners, &c., in short, one incessant round of company, I was almost worn out, as this to me is the very devil. The little duty which I had to do was the only mental recreation which this sink of dissipation would afford.
