That, properly speaking, you govern both the Privy Councilor and the whole country. (Reiss: I know the country and the people.) To please you, I attached myself to the Privy Counsellor; but his vanity is such that I cannot hold out with him any longer. He has this very day told me that I learned nothing. (Reiss: There we have it.--) That I did not know my own language; that I made a motion in court so ridiculous the other day, that every one laughed at me; nay, he told me to my face that I attempted to assume an air of importance that I was not entitled to.
