A GRAND entertainment taking place at Belvoir Castle, on the occasion of
the coming of age of the Marquis of Granby, the company were going out
to see the fireworks, when Theodore Hook came in great tribulation to
the Duke of Rutland, who was standing near Sir Robert Peel, and said:
Now isn't this provoking? I've lost my hat. What can I do?--Why did
you part with your hat? I never do, said his Grace. Ay! rejoined
Theodore, but you have especial good reasons for sticking to your
Beaver (Belvoir).
