Note 1016 — SECTION XXXVIII: CHAPTER VI
Reading edition
Napier (v. p. 243) and Stanhope (pp. 71-2) both say that they had the anecdote from the Duke himself—but wrote many years after 1813. But Larpent’s absolutely contemporary diary also has the tale (p. 218) written down on August 3, only two days after the supposed event.
