text_original: All this was telling hard upon Walpole's health. We get melancholy accounts of the cruel work which his trou  bles were making with that frame which once might have seemed to be of iron. The robust animal spirits which could hardly be kept down in former days had now changed into a mournful and even a moping temperament. His son, Horace Walpole, gives a very touching picture of him in these decaying years.
