[2]. Wellington’s friend and physician for many years. “After Waterloo.—After the battle Wellington rode to Brussels, and the first person who entered his room on the morning of the 19th was Dr. Hume. ‘He had, as usual,’ says the doctor, ‘taken off his clothes, but his face was covered with the dust and sweat of the previous day. He extended his hand to me, which I held in mine while I told him of Alexander Gordon’s death. He was much affected. I felt his tears dropping fast upon my hand, and, looking towards him, saw them chasing one another in a stream over his dusty cheeks. He brushed them suddenly away with his left hand, and said to me, in a voice tremulous with emotion—“Well, thank God, I don’t know what it is to lose a battle, but certainly nothing can be more painful than to gain one with the loss of so many of one’s friends.”’”—Fifty Years’ Biographical Reminiscences, by Lord William Lennox.
