Richard Bethell, 1st Baron Westbury Quote

Pretending not to recognize Lord Campbell, who was wearing an enormous fur coat:

I beg your pardon, My Lord. I mistook you for the Great Seal.


Victorian Chancellors (1908), J. B. Atlay


I beg your pardon, My Lord. I mistook you for the Great Seal.

I beg your pardon, My Lord. I mistook you for the Great Seal.

I beg your pardon, My Lord. I mistook you for the Great Seal.

I beg your pardon, My Lord. I mistook you for the Great Seal.
