He is curious enough to see the phenomena, military and other; but oppressed with black care: "My Amelia is not here, and the tyrant Father is--tyrannous with his rattan: ye gods!" We could insist much on the notable people that were there; for the Lists of them are given.

Many high Lordships; some of whom will meet us again.
