"He comes unexpectedly and unattended, as they are trooping the guard at St. James's, attired like a private gentleman, and nods graciously to the people, passes jokes with the officers, and tells the privates 'they shall rise by their own merits.' "He comes to town on the dickey of his own chariot. "He goes to Somerset House in a pair-horse carriage without a lancer, dragoon, or policeman to attend him, because he says, 'his guards are his people;' and he stops purposely in the streets that the people may say 'they have seen a King!' "He employs a hairdresser in Water Lane, Fleet Street, to make his coachman's white and curled wigs; because the poor fellow, when he knew better days, lived at the West End, and was employed by the then Duke of Clarence. We have seen these wigs being made. "He has all the members of his family, as a family, about him, and 'harmony and affection' is his favourite toast. "He neither likes moustaches nor foreign servants; because the one disguises an Englishman's face, and the other dupes an Englishman's pocket. "He observes an old sailor upon the lamp-post, near Somerset House, who gets aloft 'to look out for his captain' (old blue trouser's own words), and he sends him enough to rum it for a week. "He overhauls the documents of the Navy Pay Office, to ascertain if any arrears of pay or prize-money are due to the seamen; and he orders refreshments to the poor recruits, to encourage them to become soldiers. "He meets two _ladies_ (by character as well as title) in St. James's, one of whom solicits the honour to kiss his hand. 'Madam,' says the gallant monarch, 'my glove for courtiers, but _my cheek for ladies_; may I _be permitted to touch yours_?' Lady M---- 'wore her _blushing_ honours thick about her.' "He asks people to dinner in the style of a friend, rather than a command, and does not require their presence if they have 'a better engagement.' "Above all things, he impresses upon those who pay their respects to him officially, or visit him familiarly, that his friends are the Queen's. "He proceeds in person, and in a style becoming the splendour of the Crown, to dissolve Parliament, appearing himself in the costume of a thorough-paced sailor; thus practising in his own person the precepts he command--thus giving countenance to his fellow-tars appearing in his presence in the dress which they can afford to procure, and in which they have conquered. "His Majesty, we hear, paid great attention to Sir Robert Wilson at the _levée_, and, after conversing with him familiarly for some time, said, in conclusion, 'Meet me to-night at Sussex's, and bring your daughters with you.'
