This disappointment, which was the more sensible to me, that it was
the first I had met in public life, was promised to be made up to
me by Lord Egremont and Mr George Grenville. The former had been
long my friend, but unhappily he was then far gone in a lethargic
indisposition, which threatened, and did very soon put a period to his
existence. With Lord Egremont’s death my expectations vanished. Further
particulars are unnecessary, but I hope that at least, in part, they
remain in that breast where they naturally ought to be, and where I
shall ever think, not to be forgotten, is to be rewarded.
