And some say, that was the occasion of her meeting the Old Buccaneer.
She met him at Richmond in Surrey we know for certain.

It was on Richmond Hill, where the old King met his Lass.

They say Countess Fanny was parading the hill to behold the splendid view, always admired so much by foreigners, with their Achs and Hechs! and surrounded by her crowned courtiers in frogged uniforms and moustachioed like sea-horses, a little before dinner time, when Kirby passed her, and the Emperor made a remark on him, for Kirby was a magnificent figure of a man, and used to be compared to a three-decker entering harbour after a victory.

He stood six feet four, and was broad-shouldered and deep-chested to match, and walked like a king who has humbled his enemy.

You have seen big dogs.
