DUKE OF SUSSEX. 149 



of Hastings's table, we always enjoyed the 

 visit. 



H. R. H. the Duke of Sussex, intro- 

 duced by a well-known Fellow of Trinity 

 College,* who was always his confidential 

 friend and companion when at Cambridge, 

 honoured the house with his presence, and 

 inspected the museum; and on the fol- 

 lowing evening her ladyship a little elated, 

 I suppose, by the honour conferred on 

 her husband assumed an air of patronage 

 she probably considered adapted to her 

 company. Such, however, not being in 

 accordance with the tastes of this genuine 

 son of Neptune, he denounced in no very 

 measured terms. 



" I am ashamed of you, Captain Coe," 

 said the lady, in retort, with an air of 

 studied importance ; " you would not have 

 behaved so yesterday when George Adam 

 Brown and the Duke of Sussex were 

 here." 



* The late Rev. George Adam Brown.
