22-29 Nov 1768:21 (1/18)
London. . . September 21. The ball at the Queen's House on
Monday Night was opened by his Majesty and her Grace the
Dutchess of Ancaster, and his Danish Majesty danced with the
Queen, who, notwithstanding her being pregnant, danced with
great ease. At the conclusion, which was near five in the
morning, his Majesty and the Dutchess of Ancaster closed the
entertainment with a minuet, and about 6 o'clock their
Majesties retired.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales, the two
Princes of Saxe Gotha, and Princess Amelia, were at the ball
at the Queen's Palace on Monday evening.
Nothing can exceed the Royal Entertainment on Monday
evening at her Majesty's Palace, either in the Company
present, provision, order, and decorum; every minute article
plainly discovered it's magnificence, with that true
grandeur which always accompanies politeness, and every
amiable virtue. . .
A certain great Personage having asked another great
personage for his permission to give a masquerade, was
answered, " I have no objection, but how will you satisfy
our Bishops?" To which he replied, "Sir, I will send them
all tickets."
