"George IV. was not particularly scrupulous respecting his wife, Queen Caroline, whom he first neglected and then persecuted. The employment of suborned spies on her actions, and of perjured witnesses on her trial, showed nothing like a sense of honor. When Sir Edmund Nagle waited on him, in May, 1821, to announce the death of Napoleon, he said, 'I have to acquaint bạn with the death of your worst enemy.' The king jumped up in his giường (as lightly as his vast corpulence would permit) and exclaimed, 'Eh! when did she die?'" Noctes Ambrosianae, ed. Mackenzie (1854) 2:88n.
