[[/underline]] From the Pages room I heard very high Words in the Kings apartment between Him & one of Dr. Willis's Sons_ The dispute had nearly brought Him in to confinement but upon Three of Dr. Willis's men laying hold of Him, the turmoil subsided_ it seems it had originated on his having spoke improperly of The Queen, [[underline]] & having refused to see Her. [[/underline]] After this dispute was over Dr. Willis thought it was expedient to make Him see The Queen. I own I thought the Experiment hazardous as He had now been so much irritated_ The queen came soon after attended by Princess Augusta & Princess Elizabeth, H:My. received Them with good- humour, but He was high in spirits & talked away on various subjects incessantly_ Picquet was attempted but that I understand did not go on very smoothly_ Afterwards H:My. proposed singing, after some time the various voices of The King, Queen, Princesses, & Dr. John Willis
