I found a little armchair I had when I was a child." I said to the Prince: "You see, thrones disappear, arm-chairs remain." While we were talking a few persons came, among others M. Duclerc, the ex-Minister of Finance of the Executive Committee, an old woman in black velvet whom I did not know, and Lord Normanby, the English Ambassador, whom the President quickly took into an adjoining salon.
The baggage of the Princes by some chance was not forthcoming; they could not appear at a Court dinner in their morning dress, but etiquette was relaxed for the strangers to the extent that later in the evening they joined the circle, which included Lord Melbourne, Lord Clanricarde, Lord and Lady Granville, Baron Brunnow and Lord Normanby, as visitors at Windsor at the time.
The cards were accordingly shuffled in May 1839, and, amongst other and less significant changes, Normanby and Russell changed places. Lord John quickly made his presence felt at the Colonial Office. He was a patient listener to the permanent officials; indeed, he declared that he meant to give six months to making himself master of the new duties of his position.

Your father writes that on Friday he dined at Thiers' with Mignet, Cousin, Pontois, and Lord Normanby.

Twenty thousand persons were assembled in the magnificent grounds at Chatsworth, and artillery had been brought from Woolwich to fire a salute. Many old friends, notably members of the great Whig houses Lord Melbourne, Lord and Lady Palmerston, the Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby met to grace the occasion.
He knighted Phipps, who thus became the founder of the house of Mulgrave now represented by the Marquis of Normanby. When Miss Pritty had concluded the letter, Joe Baldwin turned to Rooney Machowl: "What think you, lad," he said, "would you venture down to twenty fathom?" "To twenty thousand fathom, if you'll consint to watch the pumps and howld the life-line," replied the daring son of Erin.
The British Ministry through Lord Normanby threatened him with the possible rupture of diplomatic relations if he gave an encouraging reply to the Young Ireland deputation. Politically Lamartine was more of the school of the British Whigs of his period than of any native French school.
