I am bound to say that he did not seem very pleased with his journey, and expressed much disappointment at not seeing Your Honour awaiting him.

I explained, as you directed, that you had to attend with the Voivode Vissarion and the Vladika the National Council, which met at Plazac, or that otherwise you would have done yourself the pleasure of coming to meet him.

I had, of course, reserved rooms (the Prince of Wales's suite), for him at the Re d'Ungheria, and had waiting the carriage which the proprietor had provided for the Prince of Wales when he stayed there.

Mr.Melton took his valet with him (on the box-seat), and I followed in a _Stadtwagen_ with the luggage.

When I arrived, I found the _maitre d'hotel_ in a stupor of concern.
