But to me all this cere- VOL. II. I 114 NARRATIVE. Sept. monial was not more ridiculous than it was irksome. The necessity of making conversation with persons I had never seen before, and of presiding at table and doing the honours of a great dinner, were to me so disgusting and painful, that the experience of two tedious days passed at Durham would have been sufficient to cure me of all ambitious desires^ if I could have imagined that the duties of a Chan- cellor of England bore any resemblanc...e to those of a Chancellor of Durham. The decision of the few causes which came before me, in none of which did any question of difficulty arise, hardly deserves the serious name of a duty, when compared with the more arduous task of acting the part of Lord of a castle not' my own, and of considering as my wel- come guests the numerous strangers whom I met at table. In the autumn of this year a very unexpected offer was made to me by the Prince of Wales, of a seat in ParUament. It was made through my friend Creevey, in a letter which I will transcribe.
