Note 26 — Chapter X · The Beautiful Vanilla.

Jane, daughter of Lord Abercorn, and wife of Lord Archibald Hamilton, was Mistress of the Robes to the Princess of Wales, and for some years governed absolutely at the Prince’s Court, and had planted so many of her relations about her that one day at Carlton House, Sir William Stanhope called everybody there whom he did not know “Mr. or Mrs. Hamilton.” Lady Archibald quitted that Court soon after Mr. Pitt accepted a place in the administration.
