Saturday night Sept:r 15. 1/2 after 10. 1781
Arrived here a little before dinner Ld Chatham, his brother Will Pitt, &
Prat, Ld Camden's Son, member for Bath. I find they had none of them been ever here before Do you know Ld Chatham?
In his appearance upon the whole he puts me in mind of Danl
Parker Coke: but he has his father's Roman nose, and if wants
should concur to make him have a good opinion of himself, will
soon I dare say acquire his commanding manner: at present
one sees little more than a kind of reserve, temper'd with mildness,
but clouded with a little dash of bashfulness. Will Pitt, you know
for certain: in his conversation there is nothing of the orator: nothing
of that hauteur & suffisance one would expect: on the contrary he
seems very good natured and a little raw. I was monstrously frightened
at him: but when I came to talk with him he seemed frightened
at me: so that if any thing should happen to jumble us together,
we may perhaps be good pax which however is not very likely; for I don't
know very well what ideas we are likely to have in common. After
beating Miss Vernon I have just been beating him at Chess: an notorious
conquest, as he is scarce so much in my hands as I am in
yours. Ernest and the rest of the people have been playing at
Crown Whist. Supper being announced I stole up here. Ernest
it seems is the Saxon Minister: an honest good humoured kind of man.
I find it necessary to rise before 6, and for that purpose to go to bed
by 11. I lie on straw. Prat has more distance and more suffisance
than either of the others: yet there is a sort of giggishness about them
too: he puts me in mind of a young Jew broker in the city. About
an hour after dinner passes now quite happily; as I have established a habit
of playing accompanying Lady S. on the harpsichord: and she is pleased with it. She
