Chapter 609: A New Year, A New Hope

William Pitt Junior had been discussing with George III for nearly two hours, and he finally had a clear picture in his mind.

The King still supported him.

Seeing the familiar figure of Doctor Willis at the door, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, I shall quell the matter of the gas street lamps as soon as possible. It's just that, Lord Fox..."

He was referring to James Fox, the leader of the opposition Whig Party.

"The focus is on our strategy towards France, which requires a stable Cabinet. I will persuade the Whigs not to cause trouble."

George III hadn't finished his sentence when Doctor Willis came over, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for your treatment. There is another session of leech and mustard therapy tonight, which will help you relax your mind."

George III was suffering from porphyria, which caused his brain to have episodes of erratic behavior, so he had been staying at Windsor Castle for treatment.
