~ ~ ~ Sentence 215 ~ ~ ~
In the morning he took the King of Würtemberg to Windsor, and just at the hour when the Duke expected him to dinner he was driving through Hyde Park back from Windsor--three barouches-and-four, the horses dead knocked up, in the front the two Kings, Jersey, and somebody else, all covered with dust.

Lord Norbury on some circuit was on the bench speaking, and an ass outside brayed so loud that nobody could hear.

~ ~ ~ Sentence 4,293 ~ ~ ~
The Court very active, vulgar, and hospitable; King, Queen, Princes, Princesses, bastards, and attendants constantly trotting about in every direction: the election noisy and dull--the Court candidate beaten and two Radicals elected.
