They visited Paris together in 1814, after the first over- throw of Napoleon. Haydon says that " not- withstanding that Paris was filled with all the nations of the earth, the greatest oddity in it was unquestionably David Wilkie. His horrible 40 BIOGRAPHY French, his strange, tottering, feeble look, his carrying about his prints to make bargains with printsellers, his resolute determination — here I seem to see something of the soil from which he sprang — never to leave the restaurants till he... got his change right to a centime, his long disputes about sous and demi-sous with the dame du comptoir, while Madame tried to cheat him, and as she pressed her pretty ringed fingers on his arm without making the least impression, her ' Mais, monsieur,' and his Scottish ' Mais, madame,' were worthy of Moliere." Or again, in a different vein, he tells us how he breakfasted with Wordsworth, and Wordsworth, speaking of three of the greatest men of his time, Burke, Fox, and Pitt, said : " You always went from Burke with your mind filled ; from Fox with your feelings excited ; and from Pitt with wonder at his having the power to make the worse appear the better reason." One is reminded of Porson's remark, that while Pitt carefully considered his sentences before he uttered them.
