The assembled company were Lady Newark, Miss Pierrepont, Miss Godfrey and Mr Culvenden. After dinner they went walking, and he took the young ladies to the seat on Mile Hill Terrace. The next day after prayers they showed Kempsthorne the grounds and went bathing. They had a syllabub after dinner which made Lord Malmesbury extremely sick.
