He then asked Him [[underline]] which He chose should be the member for Warwick, me or my Brother who He now called Charles, or Robert. [[/underline]] The King decided we should both be the members, adding, [[underline]] "that We should not Vote, We "were to be his Friends."

As He was at this time very full of schemes, on seeing me Dr. Willis was desirous to get me away and therefore under pretence of getting another Key He sent me for it & thus my retreat was effected. The King now continued his Walk attended by Dr Willis & Mr Willis, two Pages, & two of his men, & leave was given to his going into Richmond Gardens When enterting Them He wanted to go to the Terrace contrary to the plan which had been arranged with Him previous to his going to those Gardens. In this Intention He was restrained. On which He set off & ran as fast as He could, but was soon overtaken & stopped. This made Him angry, & He said He would not walk. He then sat down, but He was soon raised from the ground, & returned attended by his Party to Kew Gardens
