YOU may think it next to high treason for me to call that Personage, who was not long ago William Prince of Orange, by any other name than King of England" "Oh no! oh no!" said Keppel with a smile "names are but names, my good sir; and in this boisterous land of England we are accustomed to see things stripped of all ornaments.
His failure to experience Oxford had deprived him of the opportunity to whet his opinions upon the grindstone of debate, and there had been no time for academic argument in the three years of Keppel Street. In Wych-on-the-Wold there never seemed much else to do but argue.
The secrets of that prison-house do not easily transpire, and the merit of any offering is generally assumed, I believe, by the officiating priests. Lord Tavistock is to be married to-morrow to Lady Elizabeth Keppel, Lord Albemarle's sister. I love to tell you an anecdote of any of our old acquaintance, and I have now a delightful one, relating, yet indirectly, to one of them.
On the following day Admiral Keppel received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament. Not long after this the "gallant Arethusa" was wrecked upon the rocks near Ushant, in pursuit of an enemy. The crew were saved, and treated by the French with great humanity.
The message was given to Lady Anna as she went forth: but she posted the letter, and then called in Bedford Square. Mrs. Bluestone returned with her to Keppel Street; but as the door was opened by Mrs. Richards, and as no difficulty was made as to Lady Anna's entrance, Mrs. Bluestone returned home without asking to see the Countess.
Is there anything in it, may I ask, to explain such a strange proceeding?" "Nothing, sir, that I know of; nothing in the least. My father says nothing there but what anyone may see. I beg that you and Colonel Keppel will glance over it; you will then see how ordinary it is." The two gentlemen demurred, but Jack insisted, and they ran their eyes over what Mr. Haydon had written.
Keppel and Henry took turns at the sweeps, while the three smaller children began to manifest a love for the water they had not seemed to possess earlier in the day. They played along the edge of the raft, always in imminent danger of falling in, always being called back, or seized, just in time to prevent a catastrophe.
French play: Leontine Fay in Une Faute the most admirable actress I ever saw, and in the most touching piece. Three young men Mr. Whitbread, Major Keppel, and Lord Mahon separately told me the impression made on them by this actress was such that they could not sleep afterwards!
The earl of Portland, at his return to England, finding himself totally eclipsed in the king's favour by Keppel, now created earl of Albemarle, resigned his employments in disgust; nor could the king's solicitations prevail upon him to resume any office in the household, though he promised to serve his majesty in any other shape, and was soon employed to negotiate the treaty of partition.
"Captain Keppel begs to acknowledge the receipt of the Rajah Muda Hassim's letter, representing that the Dyaks of Sarebus and Sakarran are the pirates who infest the coast of Borneo, and do material damage to the trade of Singapore.
