Notes Eldon sits in his study in an arm-chair, surrounded by books and papers, directed slightly to the left, elbow on a pile of books. He scowls sideways at Wellington, who enters from the right, holding his hat. The Duke extends his hand, saying, 'Come my old friend—dont take your defeat so much to heart—You fought well! & altho' you did throw a large paving Stone at me, I—'. Eldon interrupts: 'Poh! I threw no paying stone at you—but you all like to have a dash at the Old Chancellor!' Behind (right), Lyndhurst, in wig and gown, looks round the door, saying, 'There he is—just like an old white Lion'
