That most of the persons invited were either in his Majesty's service, or had been. It seems the king desired it might be intimated to the Duke that he was much displeased at the dinner, and that he and Cumberland damned us all. I told the Duke and Lord Bathurst what occurred at the dinner yesterday, with which they were much gratified. May 21. Went to the Cabinet room at 2.
A minute later Bathurst rode in and reined up his horse in front of the tent. "Why, Bathurst, what brings you here? Changed your mind at the last moment, and found you could get away? That's right; you shall come on the pad with me." "No, I have not come for that, Major; I have brought a dispatch that arrived at two o'clock this morning.
I therefore step over at by-times, and of by-times I have enough. Piozzi Letters, i. 267. See ante, ii. 52. George Garrick. See Murphy's Johnson, p. 141.

When dried in the same manner as the Newfoundland cod, in which state I have tasted this fish at Bathurst, I could not perceive any difference either in flavour or appearance.

"Where is Miss Hannay?" Bathurst asked, as he sat up. "She has gone down to the river with Rabda. The trees hang down well over the water, and they can wash without fear of being seen on the opposite shore.
