“. . . There has been a charming scene at the Drawing-room to-day. Lady Jersey went up to Lord Durham in the greatest fury and, in the presence of all the world, said:—‘Lord Durham, I beg you will call upon me to-morrow and bring a witness with you. I have been so shamefully calumniated, and I will have justice done me.’—Duncannon, who was present and heard this, was in some horror of Lord Durham’s reply. He turned as pale as death, and, after a little hesitation, said very calmly:—‘Lady Jersey, in all probability I shall never be in your house again.’”
