Diary of the Times of George IV Volume 1 Section 1. To-day, I had the honour of meeting the [her granddaughter] Princess Charlotte, at her grandmother's. She is very clever, but has at present the manners of a hoyden school girl; she talked all sorts of nonsense to me; she is a fine piece of flesh and blood, but can put on dignity when she chooses, though it seems to sit uneasily upon her. What will be her fate? It is impossible not to feel an interest in any human being upon whom such a weight of responsibility is placed.

Diary of the Times of George IV Volume 1 Section 1. There is no company at the Duchess of Brunswick's, but old women of the last century, and naturally the Princess calls this a dullification. It is unwise for the old to forget that they were once young; this it is which always put the Princess out of humour when she is there, and she yawns and shows it.
