Letters of Harriet, Countess Granville. To the Marquis of Hartington (age 19). London. April 12, 1810.

Dearest Hartington, — You must think me a brute for having been so long without writing to you, but I have been for some time the idlest of human beings. We keep terrible late hours, and I do nothing from morning till night but think what an angel my husband is, which is more pleasant than profitable. Your absence furnishes me with conversation wherever I go. I really cannot explain your leaving London just now, your thinking Bath the best place for mathematics or Doctor Randolph's attractions. Poor worn-out Lady Warwick rien peut plus with it, but with a tremulous voice, like cowards just before they dip into the sea, follows me about — 'Where is he gone, my dear Lady Harriet, what can he be gone about?' There are shoals of Miss Mildmays, and the good-natured Dowager quite like a hen. Sir Henry and his wife go about in attitudes, but they match so well and look so handsome that one forgives them for it.

You will have seen in the papers all that has been going on about Sir Francis Burdett (age 40). London is quiet and dull again. The mob entirely dispersed and nothing but soldiers to be seen. These riots have been very animating to different people in different ways. Lord Carlisle (age 61)1 - got well pelted with mud and dirt. Think of the nose of nice nobility. Little 02. was obliged to explain his politics to the mob, who were going to swallow him, I believe. He is so factious that if he was not so small and inarticulate he might some day or other get into mischief. As it is he is never heard and scarcely seen. So passe, passe, petit bonhomme, very harmless and very ridiculous.

We all go to Court the day after to-morrow. Lady Stafford (age 44)3 presents me, Lady Liverpool (age 43) the Duchess (age 52)4.

Note 1. He married [his wife] Lady Caroline Leveson Gower, a daughter of the first [his father-in-law] Marquis of Stafford and half-sister to [his brother-in-law] Lord Granville (age 36). He was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from 1780 to 1782. He wrote indifferent poetry, and was sneered at in English Bards amd Scotch Beviewers by his relative and ward, Lord Byron (age 22).

Note 2. Lord Ossulston (age 33), who succeeded his father, Lord Tankerville (age 66), in 1822,. He married in 1806 Mlle. Corisande de Gramont (age 27), of whom there is frequent mention in these letters.

Note 3. Countess of Sutherland, married in 1785 to the second [his brother-in-law] Marquis of Stafford (age 52), half-brother to Lord Granville. He was Ambassador in Paris from 1790 to 1792. She did what she could for Marie Antoinette when in prison.

Note 4. Elizabeth.Duchess of Devonshire.
