Cabinet dinner at the Chancellor's. The Duke saw the King, who looked very well, and seemed cheerful and in good humour.
He was very ill yesterday. Black in the face, and the ends of his fingers black. They think he will go off suddenly in one of these attacks.
Little water came from one leg, and they will scarify it again.
O'Reilly, who probably performed the operation of scarifying, and who must know the state of the King, whom he saw daily, declared positively yesterday to Lord Maryborough, and with a face of surprise, that there was no water.
The Duke of C. saw the King on Sunday, and was at Windsor and probably saw him to-day.
The Duke of Sussex has lent the King an easy chair, and affectionate messages have passed between them.
The Bishop of Chichester is now at Windsor, the Lord and Groom and Equerry in waiting, two physicians, besides O'Reilly and Sir Wathen Waller and Knighton.
When they told the King they must make a puncture in about four hours, he desired it might be made at once if it was necessary.
The Duke told the King he had told Sir H. Halford he would always find him intrepid—with which the King was much pleased.
He said when he saw a thing was necessary he always made up his mind to it.
