Mon oncle Aumale est bien touche de l'intention que vous exprimez de venir vous associer a sa douleur le jour des funerailles de ma tante. Elles son fixees a vendredi prochain. La premiere ceremonie aura lieu a Orleans House a 9-1/2h du matin, apres quoi nous conduirons le corps a Weybridge, pour le deposer dans le caveau de famille. Nous y serons vers midi, ou peut-etre un peu plus tard, car il est difficile de calculer tres exactement l'arrivee de ce triste convoi. Ce ne sera en tous cas pas avant midi. Je termine en vous priant de me croire Votre bien affectionne, LOUIS-PHILIPPE D'ORLEANS 'I attended her funeral on the 10th'--Reeve noted in his Journal--'and went in an immense procession from Twickenham to Weybridge.' _From M. Guizot_ _Val Richer, November 21st_.--I never had any taste for travelling. I would willingly go a hundred miles for an hour's conversation with such or such a person; but the miles themselves have little interest for me. However, your tour in Portugal, as you describe it, would have tempted me. I like a country which is different from all others. Still, I am quite sure that, after having amused yourself in Portugal, you are very glad to be back in England.... Lord Clarendon may be quite easy; no difficulty affecting his department will come from here. Country and Government are equally inclined to peace. As to our home affairs, which alone have any interest just now, I am a little sad, but not uneasy. We are returning--quietly, ignorantly, and with tottering steps--into the right path, the parliamentary system. The country is coming back to it. The Emperor does not, and will not, offer any serious resistance to it. We shall make blunders, both in our procedure and debates, but shall, nevertheless, make sensible progress. What we are in want of is the men. _From Lord Westbury_
