+
+Project Gutenberg Etexts are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep etexts in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our etexts one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our sites at:
+http://gutenberg.net or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+etexts, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2001 as we release over 50 new Etext
+files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 4000+
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
+
+At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
+of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 4,000 Etexts.  We need
+funding, as well as continued efforts by volunteers, to maintain
+or increase our production and reach our goals.
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created
+to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium.
+
+We need your donations more than ever!

+Why is this "Small Print!" statement here? You know: lawyers.
+They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
+your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
+you may distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etexts,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
+receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims
+all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,

+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from. If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
+TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT

+                                  1668
+
+
+September 1st.  Up and all the morning at the office busy, and after
+dinner to the office again busy till about four, and then I abroad (my
+wife being gone to Hales's about drawing her hand new in her picture) and
+I to see Betty Michell, which I did, but su mari was dentro, and no
+pleasure.  So to the Fair, and there saw several sights; among others,
+the mare that tells money,
+
+     [This is not the first learned horse of which we read.  Shakespeare,
+     "Love's Labour's Lost," act i., SC. 2, mentions "the dancing
+     horse,"' and the commentators have added many particulars of Banks's
+     bay horse.]
+
+and many things to admiration; and, among others, come to me, when she
+was bid to go to him of the company that most loved a pretty wench in a
+corner.  And this did cost me 12d. to the horse, which I had flung him
+before, and did give me occasion to baiser a mighty belle fille that was
+in the house that was exceeding plain, but fort belle.  At night going
+home I went to my bookseller's in Duck Lane, and find her weeping in the
+shop, so as ego could not have any discourse con her nor ask the reason,
+so departed and took coach home, and taking coach was set on by a wench
+that was naught, and would have gone along with me to her lodging in Shoe
+Lane, but ego did donner her a shilling   .  .  .  and left her, and
+home, where after supper, W. Batelier with us, we to bed.  This day Mrs.
+Martin come to see us, and dined with us.
+
+
+
+2nd.  Fast-day for the burning of London, strictly observed.  I at home
+at the office all day, forenoon and afternoon, about the Victualler's
+contract and other things, and at night home to supper, having had but a
+cold dinner, Mr. Gibson with me; and this evening comes Mr. Hill to
+discourse with me about Yeabsly and Lanyon's business, wherein they are
+troubled, and I fear they have played the knave too far for me to help or
+think fit to appear for them.  So he gone, and after supper, to bed,
+being troubled with a summons, though a kind one, from Mr. Jessop, to
+attend the Commissioners of Accounts tomorrow.
+
+
+
+3rd.  Up, and to the Office, where busy till it was time to go to the
+Commissioners of Accounts, which I did about noon, and there was received
+with all possible respect, their business being only to explain the
+meaning of one of their late demands to us, which we had not answered in
+our answer to them, and, this being done, I away with great content, my
+mind being troubled before, and so to the Exchequer and several places,
+calling on several businesses, and particularly my bookseller's, among
+others, for "Hobbs's Leviathan,"
+
+     ["Leviathan: or the matter, forme and power of a Commonwealth
+     ecclesiasticall and civill," by Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury, first
+     published in 1651.  It was reprinted in 1680, with its old date.
+     Hobbes's complete works, English and Latin, were published by Sir
+     William Molesworth in sixteen volumes 8vo. between 1839 and 1845.]
+
+which is now mightily called for; and what was heretofore sold for 8s.  I
+now give 24s. for, at the second hand, and is sold for 30s., it being a
+book the Bishops will not let be printed again, and so home to dinner,
+and then to the office all the afternoon, and towards evening by water to
+the Commissioners of the Treasury, and presently back again, and there
+met a little with W. Pen and the rest about our Prize accounts, and so W.
+Pen and Lord Brouncker and I at the lodging of the latter to read over
+our new draft of the victualler's contract, and so broke up and home to
+supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+4th.  Up, and met at the Office all the morning; and at noon my wife, and
+Deb., and Mercer, and W. Hewer and I to the Fair, and there, at the old
+house, did eat a pig, and was pretty merry, but saw no sights, my wife
+having a mind to see the play "Bartholomew-Fayre," with puppets.  Which
+we did, and it is an excellent play; the more I see it, the more I love
+the wit of it; only the business of abusing the Puritans begins to grow
+stale, and of no use, they being the people that, at last, will be found
+the wisest.  And here Knepp come to us, and sat with us, and thence took
+coach in two coaches, and losing one another, my wife, and Knepp, and I
+to Hercules Pillars, and there supped, and I did take from her mouth the
+words and notes of her song of "the Larke," which pleases me mightily.
+And so set her at home, and away we home, where our company come home
+before us.  This night Knepp tells us that there is a Spanish woman
+lately come over, that pretends to sing as well as Mrs. Knight; both of
+which I must endeavour to hear.  So, after supper, to bed.
+
+
+
+5th.  Up, and at the office all the morning.  At noon home to dinner, and
+to the office to work all the afternoon again till the evening, and then
+by coach to Mr. Hales's new house, where, I find, he hath finished my
+wife's hand, which is better than the other; and here I find Harris's
+picture, done in his habit of "Henry the Fifth;" mighty like a player,
+but I do not think the picture near so good as any yet he hath made for
+me: however, it is pretty well, and thence through the fair home, but saw
+nothing, it being late, and so home to my business at the office, and
+thence to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+6th (Lord's day).  Up betimes, and got myself ready to go by water, and
+about nine o'clock took boat with Henry Russell to Gravesend, coming
+thither about one, where, at the Ship, I dined; and thither come to me
+Mr. Hosier, whom I went to speak with, about several businesses of work
+that he is doing, and I would have him do, of writing work, for me. And
+I did go with him to his lodging, and there did see his wife, a pretty
+tolerable woman, and do find him upon an extraordinary good work of
+designing a method of keeping our Storekeeper's Accounts, in the Navy.
+Here I should have met with Mr. Wilson, but he is sick, and could not
+come from Chatham to me.  So, having done with Hosier, I took boat again
+the beginning of the flood, and come home by nine at night, with much
+pleasure, it being a fine day.  Going down I spent reading of the "Five
+Sermons of Five Several Styles," worth comparing one with another: but I
+do think, when all is done, that, contrary to the design of the book, the
+Presbyterian style and the Independent are the best of the five sermons
+to be preached in; this I do, by the best of my present judgment think,
+and coming back I spent reading of a book of warrants of our office in
+the first Dutch war, and do find that my letters and warrants and method
+will be found another gate's--[??  D.W.]--business than this that the
+world so much adores, and I am glad for my own sake to find it so.  My
+boy was with me, and read to me all day, and we sang a while together,
+and so home to supper a little, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+7th.  At the office all the morning, we met, and at noon dined at home,
+and after dinner carried my wife and Deb. to Unthanke's, and I to White
+Hall with Mr. Gibson, where the rest of our officers met us, and to the
+Commissioners of the Treasury about the Victualling contract, but staid
+not long, but thence, sending Gibson to my wife, I with Lord Brouncker
+(who was this day in an unusual manner merry, I believe with drink),
+J. Minnes, and W. Pen to Bartholomew-Fair; and there saw the dancing mare
+again, which, to-day, I find to act much worse than the other day, she
+forgetting many things, which her master beat her for, and was mightily
+vexed; and then the dancing of the ropes, and also the little stage-play,
+which is very ridiculous, and so home to the office with Lord Brouncker,
+W. Pen, and myself (J. Minnes being gone home before not well), and so,
+after a little talk together, I home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+8th.  Up, and by water to White Hall, and to St. James's, there to talk a
+little with Mr. Wren about the private business we are upon, in the
+Office, where he tells me he finds that they all suspect me to be the
+author of the great letter, which I value not, being satisfied that it is
+the best thing I could ever do for myself; and so, after some discourse
+of this kind more, I back to the Office, where all the morning; and after
+dinner to it again, all the afternoon, and very late, and then home to
+supper, where met W. Batelier and Betty Turner; and, after some talk with
+them, and supper, we to bed.  This day, I received so earnest an
+invitation again from Roger Pepys, to come to Sturbridge-Fair [at
+Cambridge] that I resolve to let my wife go, which she shall do the next
+week, and so to bed.  This day I received two letters from the Duke of
+Richmond about his yacht, which is newly taken into the King's service,
+and I am glad of it, hoping hereby to oblige him, and to have occasions
+of seeing his noble Duchess, which I admire.
+
+
+
+9th.  Up, and to the office, and thence to the Duke of Richmond's
+lodgings by his desire, by letter, yesterday.  I find him at his lodgings
+in the little building in the bowling-green, at White Hall, that was
+begun to be built by Captain Rolt.  They are fine rooms.  I did hope to
+see his lady, the beautiful Mrs. Stuart, but she, I hear, is in the
+country.  His business was about his yacht, and he seems a mighty good-
+natured man, and did presently write me a warrant for a doe from Cobham,
+when the season comes, bucks season being past.  I shall make much of
+this acquaintance, that I may live to see his lady near.  Thence to
+Westminster, to Sir R. Longs Office: and, going, met Mr. George Montagu,
+who talked and complimented me mightily; and long discourse I had with
+him, who, for news, tells me for certain that Trevor do come to be
+Secretary at Michaelmas, and that Morrice goes out, and he believes,
+without any compensation.  He tells me that now Buckingham does rule all;
+and the other day, in the King's journey he is now on, at Bagshot, and
+that way, he caused Prince Rupert's horses to be turned out of an inne,
+and caused his own to be kept there, which the Prince complained of to
+the King, and the Duke of York seconded the complaint; but the King did
+over-rule it for Buckingham, by which there are high displeasures among
+them; and Buckingham and Arlington rule all.  Thence by water home and to
+dinner, and after dinner by water again to White Hall, where Brouncker,
+W. Pen, and I attended the Commissioners of the Treasury about the
+victualling-contract, where high words between Sir Thomas Clifford and
+us, and myself more particularly, who told him that something, that he
+said was told him about this business, was a flat untruth.  However, we
+went on to our business in, the examination of the draught, and so
+parted, and I vexed at what happened, and Brouncker and W. Pen and I home
+in a hackney coach.  And I all that night so vexed that I did not sleep
+almost all night, which shows how unfit I am for trouble.  So, after a
+little supper, vexed, and spending a little time melancholy in making a
+base to the Lark's song, I to bed.
+
+
+
+10th.  Up, and by water to White Hall, and there to Sir W. Coventry's
+house, where I staid in his dining-room two hours thinking to speak with
+him, but I find Garraway and he are private, which I am glad of, Captain
+Cocke bringing them this day together.  Cocke come out and talked to me,
+but it was too late for me to stay longer, and therefore to the Treasury
+chamber, where the rest met, and W. Coventry come presently after.  And
+we spent the morning in finishing the Victualler's contract, and so I by
+water home, and there dined with me Batelier and his wife, and Mercer,
+and my people, at a good venison-pasty; and after dinner I and W. Howe,
+who come to see me, by water to the Temple, and met our four women, my
+wife, M. Batelier, Mercer, and Deb., at the Duke's play-house, and there
+saw "The Maid in the Mill," revived--a pretty, harmless old play.  Thence
+to Unthanke's, and 'Change, where wife did a little business, while
+Mercer and I staid in the coach; and, in a quarter of an hour, I taught
+her the whole Larke's song perfectly, so excellent an eare she hath.
+Here we at Unthanke's 'light, and walked them to White Hall, my wife
+mighty angry at it, and did give me ill words before Batelier, which
+vexed me, but I made no matter of it, but vexed to myself.  So landed
+them, it being fine moonshine, at the Bear, and so took water to the
+other side, and home.  I to the office, where a child is laid at Sir J.
+Minnes's door, as there was one heretofore.  So being good friends again,
+my wife seeking, it, by my being silent I overcoming her, we to bed.
+
+
+
+11th.  Up, and at my Office all the morning, and after dinner all the
+afternoon in my house with Batelier shut up, drawing up my defence to the
+Duke of York upon his great letter, which I have industriously taken this
+opportunity of doing for my future use.  At it late, and my mind and head
+mighty full of it all night.
+
+
+
+12th.  At it again in the morning, and then to the Office, where till
+noon, and I do see great whispering among my brethren about their replies
+to the Duke of York, which vexed me, though I know no reason for it; for
+I have no manner of ground to fear them.  At noon home to dinner, and,
+after dinner, to work all the afternoon again.  At home late, and so to
+bed.
+
+
+
+13th (Lord's day).  The like all this morning and afternoon, and finished
+it to my mind.  So about four o'clock walked to the Temple, and there by
+coach to St. James's, and met, to my wish, the Duke of York and Mr. Wren;
+and understand the Duke of York hath received answers from Brouncker,
+W. Pen, and J. Minnes; and as soon as he saw me, he bid Mr. Wren read
+them over with me.  So having no opportunity of talk with the Duke of
+York, and Mr. Wren some business to do, he put them into my hands like an
+idle companion, to, take home with me before himself had read them, which
+do give me great opportunity of altering my answer, if there was cause.
+So took a hackney and home, and after supper made my wife to read them
+all over, wherein she is mighty useful to me; and I find them all
+evasions, and in many things false, and in few, to the full purpose.
+Little said reflective on me, though W. Pen and J. Minnes do mean me in
+one or two places, and J. Minnes a little more plainly would lead the
+Duke of York to question the exactness of my keeping my records; but all
+to no purpose.  My mind is mightily pleased by this, if I can but get
+time to have a copy taken of them, for my future use; but I must return
+them tomorrow.  So to bed.
+
+
+
+14th.  Up betimes, and walked to the Temple, and stopped, viewing the
+Exchange, and Paul's, and St. Fayth's, where strange how the very sight
+of the stones falling from the top of the steeple do make me sea-sick!
+But no hurt, I hear, hath yet happened in all this work of the steeple,
+which is very much.  So from the Temple I by coach to St. James's, where
+I find Sir W. Pen and Lord Anglesey, who delivered this morning his
+answer to the Duke of York, but I could not see it.  But after being
+above with the Duke of York, but said nothing, I down with Mr. Wren;
+and he and I read all over that I had, and I expounded them to him,
+and did so order it that I had them home with me, so that I shall,
+to my heart's wish, be able to take a copy of them.  After dinner,
+I by water to, White Hall; and there, with the Cofferer and Sir Stephen
+Fox, attended the Commissioners of the Treasury, about bettering our
+fund; and are promised it speedily.  Thence by water home, and so all the
+afternoon and evening late busy at the office, and then home to supper,
+and Mrs. Turner comes to see my wife before her journey to-morrow, but
+she is in bed, and so sat talking to little purpose with me a great
+while, and, she gone, I to bed.
+
+
+
+15th.  Up mighty betimes, my wife and people, Mercer lying here all
+night, by three o'clock, and I about five; and they before, and I after
+them, to the coach in Bishopsgate Street, which was not ready to set out.
+So took wife and Mercer and Deb. and W. Hewer (who are all to set out
+this day for Cambridge, to cozen Roger Pepys's, to see Sturbridge Fayre);
+and I shewed them the Exchange, which is very finely carried on, with
+good dispatch.  So walked back and saw them gone, there being only one
+man in the coach besides them; and so home to the Office, where Mrs.
+Daniel come and staid talking to little purpose with me to borrow money,
+but I did not lend her any, having not opportunity para hater allo thing
+mit her.
+
+     [Again he brings in some German: here he has lost confidence
+     in his secret shorthand code: we also see French, Spanish, Italian
+     and Latin--he slips into these other languages when describing
+     activities or which he is not over-proud.  D.W.]
+
+At the office all the morning, and at noon dined with my people at home,
+and so to the office again a while, and so by water to the King's
+playhouse, to see a new play, acted but yesterday, a translation out of
+French by Dryden, called "The Ladys a la Mode:" so mean a thing as, when
+they come to say it would be acted again to-morrow, both he that said it,
+Beeson, and the pit fell a-laughing, there being this day not a quarter
+of the pit full.  Thence to St. James's and White Hall to wait on the
+Duke of York, but could not come to speak to him till time to go home,
+and so by water home, and there late at the office and my chamber busy,
+and so after a little supper to bed.
+
+
+
+16th.  Up; and dressing myself I did begin para toker the breasts of my
+maid Jane, which elle did give way to more than usual heretofore,
+so I have a design to try more when I can bring it to.  So to the office,
+and thence to St. James's to the Duke of York, walking it to the Temple,
+and in my way observe that the Stockes are now pulled quite down;
+and it will make the coming into Cornhill and Lumber Street mighty noble.
+I stopped, too, at Paul's, and there did go into St. Fayth's Church,
+and also in the body of the west part of the Church; and do see a hideous
+sight of the walls of the Church ready to fall, that I was in fear as
+long as I was in it: and here I saw the great vaults underneath the body
+of the Church.  No hurt, I hear, is done yet, since their going to pull
+down the Church and steeple; but one man, on Monday this week, fell from
+the top to a piece of the roof, of the east end, that stands next the
+steeple, and there broke himself all to pieces.  It is pretty here to see
+how the late Church was but a case wrought over the old Church; for you
+may see the very old pillars standing whole within the wall of this.
+When I come to St. James's, I find the Duke of York gone with the King to
+see the muster of the Guards in Hyde Park; and their Colonel, the Duke of
+Monmouth, to take his command this day of the King's Life-Guard, by
+surrender of my Lord Gerard.  So I took a hackney-coach and saw it all:
+and indeed it was mighty noble, and their firing mighty fine, and the
+Duke of Monmouth in mighty rich clothes; but the well-ordering of the men
+I understand not.  Here, among a thousand coaches that were there, I saw
+and spoke to Mrs. Pierce: and by and by Mr. Wren hunts me out, and gives
+me my Lord Anglesey's answer to the Duke of York's letter, where, I
+perceive, he do do what he can to hurt me, by bidding the Duke of York
+call for my books: but this will do me all the right in the world, and
+yet I am troubled at it.  So away out of the Park, and home; and there
+Mr. Gibson and I to dinner: and all the afternoon with him, writing over
+anew, and a little altering, my answer to the Duke of York, which I have
+not yet delivered, and so have the opportunity of doing it after seeing
+all their answers, though this do give me occasion to alter very little.
+This done, he to write it over, and I to the Office, where late, and then
+home; and he had finished it; and then he to read to me the life of
+Archbishop Laud, wrote by Dr. Heylin; which is a shrewd book, but that
+which I believe will do the Bishops in general no great good, but hurt,
+it pleads for so much Popish.  So after supper to bed.  This day my
+father's letters tell me of the death of poor Fancy, in the country, big
+with puppies, which troubles me, as being one of my oldest acquaintances
+and servants.  Also good Stankes is dead.
+
+
+
+17th.  Up, and all the morning sitting at the office, where every body
+grown mighty cautious in what they do, or omit to do, and at noon comes
+Knepp, with design to dine with Lord Brouncker, but she being undressed,
+and there being: much company, dined with me; and after dinner I out with
+her, and carried her to the playhouse; and in the way did give her five
+guineas as a fairing, I having given her nothing a great while, and her
+coming hither sometimes having been matter of cost to her, and so I to
+St. James's, but missed of the Duke of York, and so went back to the
+King's playhouse, and saw "Rollo, Duke of Normandy," which, for old
+acquaintance, pleased me pretty well, and so home and to my business,.
+and to read again, and to bed.  This evening Batelier comes to tell me
+that he was going down to Cambridge to my company, to see the Fair, which
+vexed me, and the more because I fear he do know that Knepp did dine with
+me to-day.--[And that he might tell Mrs. Pepys.--B.]
+
+
+
+18th.  Up, and to St. James's, and there took a turn or two in the Park;
+and then up to the Duke of York, and there had opportunity of delivering
+my answer to his late letter, which he did not read, but give to Mr.
+Wren, as looking on it as a thing I needed not have done, but only that I
+might not give occasion to the rest to suspect my communication with the
+Duke of York against them.  So now I am at rest in that matter, and shall
+be more, when my copies are finished of their answers, which I am now
+taking with all speed.  Thence to my several booksellers and elsewhere,
+about several errands, and so at noon home, and after dinner by coach to
+White Hall, and thither comes the Duke of York to us, and by and by met
+at the robe chamber upon our usual business, where the Duke of York I
+find somewhat sour, and particularly angry with Lord Anglesey for his
+not being there now, nor at other times so often as he should be with us.
+So to the King's house, and saw a piece of "Henry the Fourth;" at the end
+of the play, thinking to have gone abroad with Knepp, but it was too
+late, and she to get her part against to-morrow, in "The Silent Woman,"
+and so I only set her at home, and away home myself, and there to read
+again and sup with Gibson, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+19th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning busy, and so dined
+with my people at home, and then to the King's playhouse, and there saw
+"The Silent Woman;" the best comedy, I think, that ever was wrote; and
+sitting by Shadwell the poet, he was big with admiration of it.  Here was
+my Lord Brouncker and W. Pen and their ladies in the box, being grown
+mighty kind of a sudden; but, God knows, it will last but a little while,
+I dare swear.  Knepp did her part mighty well.  And so home straight, and
+to work, and particularly to my cozen Roger, who, W. Hewer and my wife
+writes me, do use them with mighty plenty and noble entertainment: so
+home to supper, and to bed.  All the news now is, that Mr. Trevor is for
+certain now to be Secretary, in Morrice's place, which the Duke of York
+did himself tell me yesterday; and also that Parliament is to be
+adjourned to the 1st of March, which do please me well, hoping thereby to
+get my things in a little better order than I should have done; and the
+less attendances at that end of the town in winter.  So home to supper
+and to bed.
+
+
+
+20th (Lord's day).  Up, and to set some papers to rights in my chamber,
+and the like in my office, and so to church, at our own church, and heard
+but a dull sermon of one Dr. Hicks, who is a suitor to Mrs. Howell, the
+widow of our turner of the Navy; thence home to dinner, staying till past
+one o'clock for Harris, whom I invited, and to bring Shadwell the poet
+with him; but they come not, and so a good dinner lost, through my own
+folly.  And so to dinner alone, having since church heard the boy read
+over Dryden's Reply to Sir R. Howard's Answer, about his Essay of Poesy,
+and a letter in answer to that; the last whereof is mighty silly, in
+behalf of Howard.
+
+     [The title of the letter is as follows: "A Letter from a Gentleman
+     to the Honourable Ed. Howard, Esq., occasioned by a Civiliz'd
+     Epistle of Mr. Dryden's before his Second Edition of his Indian
+     Emperour.  In the Savoy, printed by Thomas Newcomb, 1668."  The
+     "Civiliz'd Epistle" was a caustic attack on Sir Robert Howard; and
+     the Letter is signed, "Sir, your faithful and humble servant, R.
+     F."--i.e., Richard Flecknoe.]
+
+Thence walked forth and got a coach and to visit Mrs. Pierce, with whom,
+and him, I staid a little while, and do hear how the Duchesse of Monmouth
+is at this time in great trouble of the shortness of her lame leg, which
+is likely to grow shorter and shorter, that she will never recover it.
+Thence to St. Margaret's Church, thinking to have seen Betty Michell, but
+she was not there.  So back, and walked to Gray's Inn walks a while, but
+little company; and so over the fields to Clerkenwell, to see whether I
+could find that the fair Botelers do live there still,
+I seeing Frances the other day in a coach with Cary Dillon, her old
+servant, but know not where she lives.  So walked home, and there walked
+in the garden an hour, it being mighty pleasant weather, and so took my
+Lady Pen and Mrs. Markham home with me and sent for Mrs. Turner, and by
+and by comes Sir W. Pen and supped with me, a good supper, part of my
+dinner to-day.  They gone, Mrs. Turner staid an hour talking with me .  .
+.  .  So parted, and I to bed.
+
+
+
+21st. Up, and betimes Sir D. Gawden with me talking about the Victualling
+business, which is now under dispute for a new contract, or whether it
+shall be put into a Commission.  He gone, comes Mr. Hill to talk with me
+about Lanyon's business, and so being in haste I took him to the water
+with me, and so to White Hall, and there left him, and I to Sir
+W. Coventry, and shewed him my answer to the Duke of York's great letter,
+which he likes well.  We also discoursed about the Victualling business,
+which he thinks there is a design to put into a way of Commission, but do
+look upon all things to be managed with faction, and is grieved under it.
+So to St. James's, and there the Duke of York did of his own accord come
+to me, and tell me that he had read, and do like of, my answers to the
+objections which he did give me the other day, about the Navy; and so did
+W. Coventry too, who told me that the Duke of York had shown him them: So
+to White Hall a little and the Chequer, and then by water home to dinner
+with my people, where Tong was also this day with me, whom I shall employ
+for a time, and so out again and by water to Somerset House, but when
+come thither I turned back and to Southwarke-Fair, very dirty, and there
+saw the puppet-show of Whittington, which was pretty to see; and how that
+idle thing do work upon people that see it, and even myself too!  And
+thence to Jacob Hall's dancing on the ropes, where I saw such action as I
+never saw before, and mightily worth seeing; and here took acquaintance
+with a fellow that carried me to a tavern, whither come the musick of
+this booth, and by and by Jacob Hall himself, with whom I had a mind to
+speak, to hear whether he had ever any mischief by falls in his time.  He
+told me, "Yes, many; but never to the breaking of a limb:" he seems a
+mighty strong man.  So giving them a bottle or two of wine, I away with
+Payne, the waterman.  He, seeing me at the play, did get a link to light
+me, and so light me to the Beare, where Bland, my waterman, waited for me
+with gold and other things he kept for me, to the value of L40 and more,
+which I had about me, for fear of my pockets being cut.  So by link-light
+through the bridge, it being mighty dark, but still weather, and so home,
+where I find my draught of "The Resolution" come, finished, from Chatham;
+but will cost me, one way or other, about L12 or L13, in the board,
+frame, and garnishing, which is a little too much, but I will not be
+beholden to the King's officers that do it.  So to supper, and the boy to
+read to me, and so to bed.  This day I met Mr. Moore in the New Exchange,
+and had much talk of my Lord's concernments.  This day also come out
+first the new five-pieces in gold, coined by the Guiny Company; and I did
+get two pieces of Mr. Holder.
+
+     [Guineas took their name from the gold brought from Guinea by the
+     African Company in 1663, who, as an encouragement to bring over gold
+     to be coined, were permitted by their charter from Charles II. to
+     have their stamp of an elephant upon the coin.  When first coined
+     they were valued at 20s., but were worth 30s. in 1695.  There were
+     likewise fivepound pieces, like the guinea, with the inscription
+     upon the rim.]
+
+
+
+22nd.  Up, and to the Office, where sitting all the morning at noon, home
+to dinner, with my people, and so to the Office again, where busy all the
+afternoon, and in the evening spent my time walking in the dark, in the
+garden, to favour my eyes, which I find nothing but ease to help.  In the
+garden there comes to me my Lady Pen and Mrs. Turner and Markham, and we
+sat and talked together, and I carried them home, and there eat a bit of
+something, and by and by comes Sir W. Pen, and eat with us, and mighty
+merry-in appearance, at least, he being on all occasions glad to be at
+friendship with me, though we hate one another, and know it on both
+sides.  They gone, Mrs. Turner and I to walk in the garden .  .  .  .  So
+led her home, and I back to bed.  This day Mr. Wren did give me, at the
+Board, Commissioner Middleton's answer to the Duke of York's great
+letter; so that now I have all of them.
+
+23rd.  At my office busy all the morning.  At noon comes Mr. Evelyn to
+me, about some business with the Office, and there in discourse tells me
+of his loss, to the value of F 500, which he hath met with, in a late
+attempt of making of bricks
+
+     [At the end of the year 1666 a Dutchman of the Prince of Orange's
+     party, named Kiviet, came over to England with proposals for
+     embanking the river from the Temple to the Tower with brick,
+     and was knighted by the king.  He was introduced to Evelyn, whom he
+     persuaded to join with him in a great undertaking for the making of
+     bricks.  On March 26th, 1667, the two went in search of brick-earth,
+     and in September articles were drawn up between them for the purpose
+     of proceeding in the manufacture.  In April, 1668, Evelyn subscribed
+     50,000 bricks for the building of a college for the Royal Society,
+     in addition to L50 given previously for the same purpose.  No more
+     information on the subject is given in Evelyn's "Diary."]
+
+upon an adventure with others, by which he presumed to have got a great
+deal of money: so that I see the most ingenious men may sometimes be
+mistaken.  So to the 'Change a little, and then home to dinner, and then
+by water to White Hall, to attend the Commissioners of the Treasury with
+Alderman Backewell, about L10,000 he is to lend us for Tangier, and then
+up to a Committee of the Council, where was the Duke of York, and they
+did give us, the Officers of the Navy, the proposals of the several
+bidders for the victualling of the Navy, for us to give our answer to,
+which is the best, and whether it be better to victual by commission or
+contract, and to bring them our answer by Friday afternoon, which is a
+great deal of work.  So thence back with Sir J. Minnes home, and come
+after us Sir W. Pen and Lord Brouncker, and we fell to the business, and
+I late when they were gone to digest something of it, and so to supper
+and to bed.
+
+
+
+24th.  Up betimes and Sir D. Gawden with me, and I told him all, being
+very desirous for the King's sake, as well as my own, that he may be kept
+in it, and after consulting him I to the Office, where we met again and
+spent most of the morning about this business, and no other, and so at
+noon home to dinner, and then close with Mr. Gibson till night, drawing
+up our answer, which I did the most part by seven at night, and so to
+Lord Brouncker and the rest at his lodgings to read it, and they approved
+of it.  So back home to supper, and made my boy read to me awhile, and
+then to bed.
+
+
+
+25th.  Up, and Sir D. Gawden with me betimes to confer again about this
+business, and he gone I all the morning finishing our answer, which I did
+by noon, and so to dinner, and W. Batelier with me, who is lately come
+from Impington, beyond which I perceive he went not, whatever his
+pretence at first was; and so he tells me how well and merry all are
+there, and how nobly used by my cozen.  He gone, after dinner I to work
+again, and Gibson having wrote our answer fair and got Brouncker and the
+rest to sign it, I by coach to White Hall to the Committee of the
+Council, which met late, and Brouncker and J. Minnes with me, and there
+the Duke of York present (but not W. Coventry, who I perceive do wholly
+avoid to have to do publickly in this business, being shy of appearing in
+any Navy business, which I telling him the other day that I thought the
+King might suffer by it, he told me that the occasion is now so small
+that it cannot be fatal to the service, and for the present it is better
+for him not to appear, saying that it may fare the worse for his
+appearing in it as things are now governed), where our answer was read
+and debated, and some hot words between the Duke of York and Sir T.
+Clifford, the first for and the latter against Gawden, but the whole put
+off to to-morrow's Council, for till the King goes out of town the next
+week the Council sits every day.  So with the Duke of York and some
+others to his closet, and Alderman Backewell about a Committee of
+Tangier, and there did agree upon a price for pieces of eight at 4s. 6d.
+Present the Duke of York, Arlington, Berkeley, Sir J. Minnes, and myself.
+They gone, the Duke of York did tell me how hot Clifford is for Child,
+and for removing of old Officers, he saying plainly to-night, that though
+D. Gawden was a man that had done the best service that he believed any
+man, or any ten men, could have done, yet that it was for the King's
+interest not to let it lie too long in one hand, lest nobody should be
+able to serve him but one.  But the Duke of York did openly tell him that
+he was not for removing of old servants that have done well, neither in
+this place, nor in any other place, which is very nobly said.  It being
+7 or 8 at night, I home with Backewell by coach, and so walked to
+D. Gawden's, but he not at home, and so back to my chamber, the boy
+to read to me, and so to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+26th.  Could sleep but little last night, for my concernments in this
+business of the victualling for Sir D. Gawden, so up in the morning and
+he comes to me, and there I did tell him all, and give him my advice, and
+so he away, and I to the office, where we met and did a little business,
+and I left them and by water to attend the Council, which I did all the
+morning, but was not called in, but the Council meets again in the
+afternoon on purpose about it.  So I at noon to Westminster Hall and
+there stayed a little, and at the Swan also, thinking to have got Doll
+Lane thither, but elle did not understand my signs; and so I away and
+walked to Charing Cross, and there into the great new Ordinary, by my
+Lord Mulgrave's, being led thither by Mr. Beale, one of Oliver's, and now
+of the King's Guards; and he sat with me while I had two grilled pigeons,
+very handsome and good meat: and there he and I talked of our old
+acquaintances, W. Clerke and others, he being a very civil man, and so
+walked to Westminster and there parted, and I to the Swan again, but did
+nothing, and so to White Hall, and there attended the King and Council,
+who met and heard our answer.  I present, and then withdrew; and they
+sent two hours at least afterwards about it, and at last rose; and to my
+great content, the Duke of York, at coming out, told me that it was
+carried for D. Gawden at 6d. 8d., and 8 3/4d.; but with great difficulty,
+I understand, both from him and others, so much that Sir Edward Walker
+told me that he prays to God he may never live to need to plead his
+merit, for D. Gawden's sake; for that it hath stood him in no stead in
+this business at all, though both he and all the world that speaks of
+him, speaks of him as the most deserving man of any servant of the King's
+in the whole nation, and so I think he is: but it is done, and my heart
+is glad at it.  So I took coach and away, and in Holborne overtook
+D. Gawden's coach, and stopped and went home, and Gibson to come after,
+and to my house, where D. Gawden did talk a little, and he do mightily
+acknowledge my kindness to him, and I know I have done the King and
+myself good service in it.  So he gone, and myself in mighty great
+content in what is done, I to the office a little, and then home to
+supper, and the boy to read to me, and so to bed.  This noon I went to
+my Lady Peterborough's house, and talked with her about the money due to
+her Lord, and it gives me great trouble, her importunity and impertinency
+about it.  This afternoon at Court I met with Lord Hinchingbroke, newly
+come out of the country, who tells me that Creed's business with Mrs.
+Pickering will do, which I am neither troubled nor glad at.
+
+
+
+27th (Lord's day).  Up, and to my office to finish my journall for five
+days past, and so abroad and walked to White Hall, calling in at Somerset
+House Chapel, and also at the Spanish Embassador's at York House, and
+there did hear a little masse: and so to White Hall; and there the King
+being gone to Chapel, I to walk all the morning in the Park, where I met
+Mr. Wren; and he and I walked together in the Pell-Mell, it being most
+summer weather that ever was seen: and here talking of several things:
+of the corruption of the Court, and how unfit it is for ingenious men,
+and himself particularly, to live in it, where a man cannot live but he
+must spend, and cannot get suitably, without breach of his honour: and
+did thereupon tell me of the basest thing of my Lord Barkeley, one of the
+basest things that ever was heard of of a man, which was this: how the
+Duke of York's Commissioners do let his wine-licenses at a bad rate, and
+being offered a better, they did persuade the Duke of York to give some
+satisfaction to the former to quit it, and let it to the latter, which
+being done, my Lord Barkeley did make the bargain for the former to have
+L1500 a-year to quit it; whereof, since, it is come to light that they
+were to have but L800 and himself L700, which the Duke of York hath ever
+since for some years paid, though this second bargain hath been broken,
+and the Duke of York lost by it, [half] of what the first was.  He told
+me that there hath been a seeming accommodation between the Duke of York
+and the Duke of Buckingham and Lord Arlington, the two latter desiring
+it; but yet that there is not true agreement between them, but they do
+labour to bring in all new creatures into play, and the Duke of York do
+oppose it, as particularly in this of Sir D. Gawden.  Thence, he gone, I
+to the Queen's Chapel, and there heard some good singing; and so to White
+Hall, and saw the King and Queen at dinner and thence with Sir Stephen
+Fox to dinner: and the Cofferer with us; and there mighty kind usage, and
+good discourse.  Thence spent all the afternoon walking in the Park, and
+then in the evening at Court, on the Queen's side; and there met Mr.
+Godolphin, who tells me that the news, is true we heard yesterday, of my
+Lord Sandwich's being come to Mount's Bay, in Cornwall, and so I heard
+this afternoon at Mrs. Pierce's, whom I went to make a short visit to.
+This night, in the Queen's drawing-room, my Lord Brouncker told me the
+difference that is now between the three Embassadors here, the Venetian,
+French, and Spaniard; the third not being willing to make a visit to the
+first, because he would not receive him at the door; who is willing to
+give him as much respect as he did to the French, who was used no
+otherwise, and who refuses now to take more of him, upon being desired
+thereto, in order to the making an accommodation in this matter, which is
+very pretty.  So a boat staying for me all this evening, I home in the
+dark about eight at night, and so over the ruins from the Old Swan home
+with great trouble, and so to hear my boy read a little, and supper and
+to bed.  This evening I found at home Pelling and Wallington and one
+Aldrige, and we supped and sung.
+
+
+
+28th.  Up betimes, and Knepp's maid comes to me, to tell me that the
+women's day at the playhouse is to-day, and that therefore I must be
+there, to encrease their profit.  I did give the pretty maid Betty that
+comes to me half-a-crown for coming, and had a baiser or two-elle being
+mighty jolie.  And so I about my business.  By water to St. James's, and
+there had good opportunity of speaking with the Duke of York, who desires
+me again, talking on that matter, to prepare something for him to do for
+the better managing of our Office, telling me that, my Lord Keeper and he
+talking about it yesterday, my Lord Keeper did advise him to do so,
+it being better to come from him than otherwise, which I have promised
+to do.  Thence to my Lord Burlington's houses the first time I ever was
+there, it being the house built by Sir John Denham, next to Clarendon
+House; and here I visited my Lord Hinchingbroke and his lady; Mr. Sidney
+Montagu being come last night to town unexpectedly from Mount's Bay,
+where he left my Lord well, eight days since, so as we may now hourly
+expect to hear of his arrival at Portsmouth.  Sidney is mighty grown;
+and I am glad I am here to see him at his first coming, though it cost
+me dear, for here I come to be necessitated to supply them with L500 for
+my Lord.  He sent him up with a declaration to his friends, of the
+necessity of his being presently supplied with L2000; but I do not think
+he will get one.  However, I think it becomes my duty to my Lord to do
+something extraordinary in this, and the rather because I have been
+remiss in writing to him during this voyage, more than ever I did in my
+life, and more indeed than was fit for me.  By and by comes Sir W.
+Godolphin to see Mr. Sidney, who, I perceive, is much dissatisfied that
+he should come to town last night, and not yet be with my Lord Arlington,
+who, and all the town, hear of his being come to town, and he did, it
+seems, take notice of it to Godolphin this morning: so that I perceive
+this remissness in affairs do continue in my Lord's managements still,
+which I am sorry for; but, above all, to see in what a condition my Lord
+is for money, that I dare swear he do not know where to take up L500 of
+any man in England at this time, upon his word, but of myself, as I
+believe by the sequel hereof it will appear.  Here I first saw and
+saluted my Lady Burlington, a very fine-speaking lady, and a good woman,
+but old, and not handsome; but a brave woman in her parts.  Here my Lady
+Hinchingbroke tells me that she hath bought most of the wedding-clothes
+for Mrs. Dickering, so that the thing is gone through, and will soon be
+ended; which I wonder at, but let them do as they will.  Here I also,
+standing by a candle that was brought for sealing of a letter, do set my
+periwigg a-fire, which made such an odd noise, nobody could tell what it
+was till they saw the flame, my back being to the candle.  Thence to
+Westminster Hall and there walked a little, and to the Exchequer, and so
+home by water, and after eating a bit I to my vintner's, and there did
+only look upon su wife, which is mighty handsome; and so to my glove and
+ribbon shop, in Fenchurch Street, and did the like there.  And there,
+stopping against the door of the shop, saw Mrs. Horsfall, now a late
+widow, in a coach.  I to her, and shook her by the hand, and so she away;
+and I by coach towards the King's playhouse, and meeting W. Howe took him
+with me, and there saw "The City Match;" not acted these thirty years,
+and but a silly play: the King and Court there; the house, for the
+women's sake, mighty full.  So I to White Hall, and there all the evening
+on the Queen's side; and it being a most summerlike day, and a fine warm
+evening, the Italians come in a barge under the leads, before the Queen's
+drawing-room; and so the Queen and ladies went out, and heard them, for
+almost an hour: and it was indeed very good together; but yet there was
+but one voice that alone did appear considerable, and that was Seignor
+Joanni.  This done, by and by they went in; and here I saw Mr. Sidney
+Montagu kiss the Queen's hand, who was mighty kind to him, and the ladies
+looked mightily on him; and the King come by and by, and did talk to him.
+So I away by coach with Alderman Backewell home, who is mighty kind to
+me, more than ordinary, in his expressions.  But I do hear this day what
+troubles me, that Sir W. Coventry is quite out of play, the King seldom
+speaking to him; and that there is a design of making a Lord Treasurer,
+and that my Lord Arlington shall be the man; but I cannot believe it.
+But yet the Duke of Buckingham hath it in his mind, and those with him,
+to make a thorough alteration in things; and, among the rest, Coventry to
+be out.  The Duke of York did this day tell me how hot the whole party
+was in the business of Gawden; and particularly, my Lord Anglesey tells
+me, the Duke of Buckingham, for Child against Gawden; but the Duke of
+York did stand stoutly to it.  So home to read and sup, and to bed.
+
+
+
+29th (Tuesday, Michaelmas day).  Up, and to the Office, where all the
+morning.

+     [In this part of the "Diary" no entry occurs for thirteen days,
+     though there are several pages left blank.  During the interval
+     Pepys went into the country, as he subsequently mentions his having
+     been at Saxham, in Suffolk, during the king's visit to Lord Crofts,
+     which took place at this time (see October 23rd, host).  He might
+     also probably have gone to Impington to fetch his wife.  The pages
+     left blank were never filled up.--B.]
+
+
+
+October 11th (Lord's day').  Up and to church, where I find Parson Mills
+come to town and preached, and the church full, most people being now
+come home to town, though the season of year is as good as summer in all
+respects.  At noon dined at home with my wife, all alone, and busy all
+the afternoon in my closet, making up some papers with W. Hewer and at
+night comes Mr. Turner and his wife, and there they tell me that Mr.
+Harper is dead at Deptford, and so now all his and my care is, how to
+secure his being Storekeeper in his stead; and here they and their
+daughter, and a kinswoman that come along with them, did sup with me, and
+pretty merry, and then, they gone, and my wife to read to me, and to bed.
+
+
+
+12th.  Up, and with Mr. Turner by water to White Hall, there to think to
+enquire when the Duke of York will be in town, in order to Mr. Turner's
+going down to Audley Ends about his place; and here I met in St. James's
+Park with one that told us that the Duke of York would be in town
+to-morrow, and so Turner parted and went home, and I also did stop my
+intentions of going to the Court, also this day, about securing Mr.
+Turner's place of Petty-purveyor to Mr. Hater.  So I to my Lord
+Brouncker's, thinking to have gone and spoke to him about it, but he is
+gone out to town till night, and so, meeting a gentleman of my Lord
+Middleton's looking for me about the payment of the L1000 lately ordered
+to his Lord, in advance of his pay, which shall arise upon his going
+Governor to Tangier, I did go to his Lord's lodgings, and there spoke the
+first time with him, and find him a shrewd man, but a drinking man, I
+think, as the world says; but a man that hath seen much of the world, and
+is a Scot.  I offered him my service, though I can do him little; but he
+sends his man home with me, where I made him stay, till I had gone to Sir
+W. Pen, to bespeak him about Mr. Hater, who, contrary to my fears, did
+appear very friendly, to my great content; for I was afraid of his
+appearing for his man Burroughs.  But he did not; but did declare to me
+afterwards his intentions to desire an excuse in his own business, to be
+eased of the business of the Comptroller, his health not giving him power
+to stay always in town, but he must go into the country.  I did say
+little to him but compliment, having no leisure to think of his business,
+or any man's but my own, and so away and home, where I find Sir H.
+Cholmly come to town; and is come hither to see me: and he is a man that
+I love mightily, as being, of a gentleman, the most industrious that ever
+I saw.  He staid with me awhile talking, and telling me his obligations
+to my Lord Sandwich, which I was glad of; and that the Duke of Buckingham
+is now chief of all men in this kingdom, which I knew before; and that he
+do think the Parliament will hardly ever meet again; which is a great
+many men's thoughts, and I shall not be sorry for it.  He being gone, I
+with my Lord Middleton's servant to Mr. Colvill's, but he was not in
+town, and so he parted, and I home, and there to dinner, and Mr. Pelling
+with us; and thence my wife and Mercer, and W. Hewer and Deb., to the
+King's playhouse, and I afterwards by water with them, and there we did
+hear the Eunuch (who, it seems, is a Frenchman, but long bred in Italy)
+sing, which I seemed to take as new to me, though I saw him on Saturday
+last, but said nothing of it; but such action and singing I could never
+have imagined to have heard, and do make good whatever Tom Hill used to
+tell me.  Here we met with Mr. Batelier and his sister, and so they home
+with us in two coaches, and there at my house staid and supped, and this
+night my bookseller Shrewsbury comes, and brings my books of Martyrs, and
+I did pay him for them, and did this night make the young women before
+supper to open all the volumes for me.  So to supper, and after supper to
+read a ridiculous nonsensical book set out by Will. Pen, for the Quakers;
+but so full of nothing but nonsense, that I was ashamed to read in it.
+So they gone, we to bed.
+
+     [Penn's first work, entitled, "Truth exalted, in a short but sure
+     testimony against all those religions, faiths, and worships, that
+     have been formed and followed, in the darkness of apostacy; and for
+     that glorious light which is now risen, and shines forth, in the
+     life and doctrine of the despised Quakers .  .  .  .  by W. Penn,
+     whom divine love constrains, in holy contempt, to trample on Egypt's
+     glory, not fearing the King's wrath, having beheld the Majesty of
+     Him who is invisible:"  London, 1668.--B.]
+
+
+
+13th.  Up, and to the office, and before the office did speak with my
+Lord Brouncker, and there did get his ready assent to T. Hater's having
+of Mr. Turner's place, and so Sir J. Minnes's also: but when we come to
+sit down at the Board, comes to us Mr. Wren this day to town, and tells
+me that James Southern do petition the Duke of York for the Storekeeper's
+place of Deptford, which did trouble me much, and also the Board, though,
+upon discourse, after he was gone, we did resolve to move hard for our
+Clerks, and that places of preferment may go according to seniority and
+merit.  So, the Board up, I home with my people to dinner, and so to the
+office again, and there, after doing some business, I with Mr. Turner to
+the Duke of Albemarle's at night; and there did speak to him about his
+appearing to Mr. Wren a friend to Mr. Turner, which he did take kindly
+from me; and so away thence, well pleased with what we had now done, and
+so I with him home, stopping at my Lord Brouncker's, and getting his hand
+to a letter I wrote to the Duke of York for T. Hater, and also at my Lord
+Middleton's, to give him an account of what I had done this day, with his
+man, at Alderman Backewell's, about the getting of his L1000 paid;
+
+     [It was probably for this payment that the tally was obtained, the
+     loss of which caused Pepys so much anxiety.  See November 26th,
+     1668]
+
+and here he did take occasion to discourse about the business of the
+Dutch war, which, he says, he was always an enemy to; and did discourse
+very well of it, I saying little, but pleased to hear him talk; and to
+see how some men may by age come to know much, and yet by their drinking
+and other pleasures render themselves not very considerable.  I did this
+day find by discourse with somebody, that this nobleman was the great
+Major-General Middleton; that was of the Scots army, in the beginning of
+the late war against the King.  Thence home and to the office to finish
+my letters, and so home and did get my wife to read to me, and then Deb
+to comb my head .  .  .  .
+
+
+
+14th.  Up, and by water, stopping at Michell's, and there saw Betty, but
+could have no discourse with her, but there drank.  To White Hall, and
+there walked to St. James's, where I find the Court mighty full, it being
+the Duke or York's birthday; and he mighty fine, and all the musick, one
+after another, to my great content.  Here I met with Sir H. Cholmly; and
+he and I to walk, and to my Lord Barkeley's new house; there to see a new
+experiment of a cart, which; by having two little wheeles fastened to the
+axle-tree, is said to make it go with half the ease and more, than
+another cart but we did not see the trial made.  Thence I home, and after
+dinner to St. James's, and there met my brethren; but the Duke of York
+being gone out, and to-night being a play there; and a great festival, we
+would not stay, but went all of us to the King's playhouse, and there saw
+"The Faythful Shepherdess" again, that we might hear the French Eunuch
+sing, which we did, to our great content; though I do admire his action
+as much as his singing, being both beyond all I ever saw or heard.
+Thence with W. Pen home, and there to get my people to read, and to
+supper, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+15th.  Up, and all the morning at the office, and at home at dinner,
+where, after dinner, my wife and I and Deb. out by coach to the
+upholsters in Long Lane, Alderman Reeve's, and then to Alderman Crow's,
+to see variety of hangings, and were mightily pleased therewith, and
+spent the whole afternoon thereupon; and at last I think we shall pitch
+upon the best suit of Apostles, where three pieces for my room will come
+to almost L80: so home, and to my office, and then home to supper and to
+bed.  This day at the Board comes unexpected the warrants from the Duke
+of York for Mr. Turner and Hater, for the places they desire, which
+contents me mightily.
+
+
+
+16th.  Up, and busy all the morning at the office, and before noon I took
+my wife by coach, and Deb., and shewed her Mr. Wren's hangings and bed,
+at St. James's, and Sir W. Coventry's in the Pell Mell, for our
+satisfaction in what we are going to buy; and so by Mr. Crow's, home,
+about his hangings, and do pitch upon buying his second suit of Apostles-
+the whole suit, which comes to L83; and this we think the best for us,
+having now the whole suit, to answer any other rooms or service.  So home
+to dinner, and with Mr. Hater by water to St. James's: there Mr. Hater,
+to give Mr. Wren thanks for his kindness about his place that he hath
+lately granted him, of Petty Purveyor of petty emptions, upon the removal
+of Mr. Turner to be Storekeeper at Deptford, on the death of Harper.
+And then we all up to the Duke of York, and there did our usual business,
+and so I with J. Minnes home, and there finding my wife gone to my aunt
+Wight's, to see her the first time after her coming to town, and indeed
+the first time, I think, these two years (we having been great strangers
+one to the other for a great while), I to them; and there mighty kindly
+used, and had a barrel of oysters, and so to look up and down their
+house, they having hung a room since I was there, but with hangings not
+fit to be seen with mine, which I find all come home to-night, and here
+staying an hour or two we home, and there to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+17th.  Up, and to the office, where all the morning sitting, and at noon
+home to dinner, and to the office all the afternoon, and then late home,
+and there with much pleasure getting Mr. Gibbs, that writes well, to
+write the name upon my new draught of "The Resolution;" and so set it up,
+and altered the situation of some of my pictures in my closet, to my
+extraordinary content, and at it with much pleasure till almost 12 at
+night.  Mr. Moore and Seymour were with me this afternoon, who tell me
+that my Lord Sandwich was received mighty kindly by the King, and is in
+exceeding great esteem with him, and the rest about him; but I doubt it
+will be hard for him to please both the King and the Duke of York, which
+I shall be sorry for.  Mr. Moore tells me the sad condition my Lord is
+in, in his estate and debts; and the way he now lives in, so high, and so
+many vain servants about him, that he must be ruined, if he do not take
+up, which, by the grace of God, I will put him upon, when I come to see
+him.
+
+
+
+18th (Lord's day).  Up, and with my boy Tom all the morning altering the
+places of my pictures with great pleasure, and at noon to dinner, and
+then comes Mr. Shales to see me, and I with him to recommend him to my
+Lord Brouncker's service, which I did at Madam Williams's, and my Lord
+receives him.  Thence with Brouncker to Lincolne's Inn, and Mr. Ball, to
+visit Dr. Wilkins, now newly Bishop of Chester: and he received us mighty
+kindly; and had most excellent discourse from him about his Book of Reall
+Character: and so I with Lord Brouncker to White Hall, and there saw the
+Queen and some ladies, and with Lord Brouncker back, it again being a
+rainy evening, and so my Lord forced to lend me his coach till I got a
+hackney, which I did, and so home and to supper, and got my wife to read
+to me, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+19th.  Up, and to my office to set down my Journall for some days past,
+and so to other business.  At the office all the morning upon some
+business of Sir W. Warren's, and at noon home to dinner, and thence out
+by coach with my wife and Deb. and Mr. Harman, the upholster, and carried
+them to take measure of Mr. Wren's bed at St. James's, I being resolved
+to have just such another made me, and thence set him down in the Strand,
+and my wife and I to the Duke of York's playhouse; and there saw,
+the first time acted, "The Queene of Arragon," an old Blackfriars play,
+but an admirable one, so good that I am astonished at it, and wonder
+where it hath lain asleep all this while, that I have never heard of it
+before.  Here met W. Batelier and Mrs. Hunt, Deb.'s aunt; and saw her
+home--a very witty woman, and one that knows this play, and understands
+a play mighty well.  Left her at home in Jewen Street, and we home,
+and to supper, and my wife to read to me, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+20th.  Up, and to the office all the morning, and then home to dinner,
+having this day a new girl come to us in the room of Nell, who is lately,
+about four days since, gone away, being grown lazy and proud.  This girl
+to stay only till we have a boy, which I intend to keep when I have a
+coach, which I am now about.  At this time my wife and I mighty busy
+laying out money in dressing up our best chamber, and thinking of a coach
+and coachman and horses, &c.; and the more because of Creed's being now
+married to Mrs. Pickering; a thing I could never have expected, but it
+is done about seven or ten days since, as I hear out of the country.
+At noon home to dinner, and my wife and Harman and girl abroad to buy
+things, and I walked out to several places to pay debts, and among other
+things to look out for a coach, and saw many; and did light on one for
+which I bid L50, which do please me mightily, and I believe I shall have
+it.  So to my tailor's, and the New Exchange, and so by coach home, and
+there, having this day bought "The Queene of Arragon" play, I did get my
+wife and W. Batelier to read it over this night by 11 o'clock, and so to
+bed.
+
+
+
+21st.  Lay pretty long talking with content with my wife about our coach
+and things, and so to the office, where Sir D. Gawden was to do something
+in his accounts.  At noon to dinner to Mr. Batelier's, his mother coming
+this day a-housewarming to him, and several friends of his, to which he
+invited us.  Here mighty merry, and his mother the same; I heretofore
+took her for a gentlewoman, and understanding.  I rose from table before
+the rest, because under an obligation to go to my Lord Brouncker's, where
+to meet several gentlemen of the Royal Society, to go and make a visit to
+the French Embassador Colbert, at Leicester House, he having endeavoured
+to make one or two to my Lord Brouncker, as our President, but he was not
+within, but I come too late, they being gone before: but I followed to
+Leicester House; but they are gore in and up before me; and so I away to
+the New Exchange, and there staid for my wife, and she come, we to Cow
+Lane, and there I shewed her the coach which I pitch on, and she is out
+of herself for joy almost.  But the man not within, so did nothing more
+towards an agreement, but to Mr. Crow's about a bed, to have his advice,
+and so home, and there had my wife to read to me, and so to supper and to
+bed.  Memorandum: that from Crow's, we went back to Charing Cross, and
+there left my people at their tailor's, while I to my Lord Sandwich's
+lodgings, who come to town the last night, and is come thither to lye:
+and met with him within: and among others my new cozen Creed, who looks
+mighty soberly; and he and I saluted one another with mighty gravity,
+till we come to a little more freedom of talk about it.  But here I hear
+that Sir Gilbert Pickering is lately dead, about three days since, which
+makes some sorrow there, though not much, because of his being long
+expected to die, having been in a lethargy long.  So waited on my Lord to
+Court, and there staid and saw the ladies awhile: and thence to my wife,
+and took them up; and so home, and to supper and bed.
+
+
+
+22nd.  Up, and W. Batelier's Frenchman, a perriwigg maker, comes and
+brings me a new one, which I liked and paid him for: a mighty genteel
+fellow.  So to the office, where sat all the morning, and at noon home to
+dinner, and thence with wife and Deb. to Crow's, and there did see some
+more beds; and we shall, I think, pitch upon a camlott one, when all is
+done.  Thence sent them home, and I to Arundell House, where the first
+time we have met since the vacation, and not much company: but here much
+good discourse, and afterwards my Lord and others and I to the Devil
+tavern, and there eat and drank, and so late, with Mr. Colwell, home by
+coach; and at home took him with me, and there found my uncle Wight and
+aunt, and Woolly and his wife, and there supped, and mighty merry.  And
+anon they gone, and Mrs. Turner staid, who was there also to talk of her
+husband's business; and the truth is, I was the less pleased to talk with
+her, for that she hath not yet owned, in any fit manner of thanks, my
+late and principal service to her husband about his place, which I alone
+ought to have the thanks for, if they know as much as I do; but let it
+go: if they do not own it, I shall have it in my hand to teach them to do
+it.  So to bed.  This day word come for all the Principal Officers to
+bring them [the Commissioners of Accounts] their patents, which I did in
+the afternoon, by leaving it at their office, but am troubled at what
+should be their design therein.
+
+
+
+23rd.  Up, and plasterers at work and painters about my house.
+Commissioner Middleton and I to St. James's, where with the rest of our
+company we attended on our usual business the Duke of York.  Thence I to
+White Hall, to my Lord Sandwich's, where I find my Lord within, but busy,
+private; and so I staid a little talking with the young gentlemen: and
+so away with Mr. Pierce, the surgeon, towards Tyburne, to see the people
+executed; but come too late, it being done; two men and a woman hanged,
+and so back again and to my coachmaker's, and there did come a little
+nearer agreement for the coach, and so to Duck Lane, and there my
+bookseller's, and saw his moher, but elle is so big-bellied that elle
+is not worth seeing.  So home, and there all alone to dinner, my wife and
+W. Hewer being gone to Deptford to see her mother, and so I to the office
+all the afternoon.  In the afternoon comes my cozen, Sidney Pickering,
+to bring my wife and me his sister's Favour for her wedding, which is
+kindly done, and he gone, I to business again, and in the evening home,
+made my wife read till supper time, and so to bed.  This day Pierce do
+tell me, among other news, the late frolick and debauchery of Sir Charles
+Sidly and Buckhurst, running up and down all the night with their arses
+bare, through the streets; and at last fighting, and being beat by the
+watch and clapped up all night; and how the King takes their parts; and
+my Lord Chief Justice Keeling hath laid the constable by the heels to
+answer it next Sessions: which is a horrid shame.  How the King and these
+gentlemen did make the fiddlers of Thetford, this last progress, to sing
+them all the bawdy songs they could think of.  How Sir W. Coventry was
+brought the other day to the Duchesse of York by the Duke, to kiss her
+hand; who did acknowledge his unhappiness to occasion her so much sorrow,
+declaring his intentions in it, and praying her pardon; which she did
+give him upon his promise to make good his pretences of innocence to her
+family, by his faithfulness to his master, the Duke of York.  That the
+Duke of Buckingham is now all in all, and will ruin Coventry, if he can:
+and that W. Coventry do now rest wholly upon the Duke of York for his
+standing, which is a great turn.  He tells me that my Lady Castlemayne,
+however, is a mortal enemy to the Duke of Buckingham, which I understand
+not; but, it seems, she is disgusted with his greatness, and his ill
+usage of her.  That the King was drunk at Saxam with Sidly, Buckhurst,
+&c., the night that my Lord Arlington come thither, and would not give
+him audience, or could not which is true, for it was the night that I was
+there, and saw the King go up to his chamber, and was told that the King
+had been drinking.  He tells me, too, that the Duke of York did the next
+day chide Bab. May for his occasioning the King's giving himself up to
+these gentlemen, to the neglecting of my Lord Arlington: to which he
+answered merrily, that, by God, there was no man in England that had
+heads to lose, durst do what they do, every day, with the King, and asked
+the Duke of York's pardon: which is a sign of a mad world.  God bless us
+out of it!
+
+
+
+24th.  This morning comes to me the coachmaker, and agreed with me for
+L53, and stand to the courtesy of what more I should give him upon the
+finishing of the coach: he is likely also to fit me with a coachman.
+There comes also to me Mr. Shotgrave, the operator of our Royal Society,
+to show me his method of making the Tubes for the eyes, which are
+clouterly done, so that mine are better, but I have well informed myself
+in several things from him, and so am glad of speaking with him.  So to
+the office, where all the morning, and then to dinner, and so all the
+afternoon late at the office, and so home; and my wife to read to me, and
+then with much content to bed.  This day Lord Brouncker tells me that the
+making Sir J. Minnes a bare Commissioner is now in doing, which I am glad
+of; but he speaks of two new Commissioners, which I do not believe.
+
+
+
+25th (Lord's day).  Up, and discoursing with my wife about our house and
+many new things we are doing of, and so to church I, and there find Jack
+Fenn come, and his wife, a pretty black woman: I never saw her before,
+nor took notice of her now.  So home and to dinner, and after dinner all
+the afternoon got my wife and boy to read to me, and at night W. Batelier
+comes and sups with us; and, after supper, to have my head combed by
+Deb., which occasioned the greatest sorrow to me that ever I knew in this
+world, for my wife, coming up suddenly, did find me embracing the girl .
+.  .  .  .  I was at a wonderful loss upon it, and the girle also, and I
+endeavoured to put it off, but my wife was struck mute and grew angry,
+and so her voice come to her, grew quite out of order, and I to say
+little, but to bed, and my wife said little also, but could not sleep all
+night, but about two in the morning waked me and cried, and fell to tell
+me as a great secret that she was a Roman Catholique and had received the
+Holy Sacrament, which troubled me, but I took no notice of it, but she
+went on from one thing to another till at last it appeared plainly her
+trouble was at what she saw, but yet I did not know how much she saw, and
+therefore said nothing to her.  But after her much crying and reproaching
+me with inconstancy and preferring a sorry girl before her, I did give
+her no provocation, but did promise all fair usage to her and love, and
+foreswore any hurt that I did with her, till at last she seemed to be at
+ease again, and so toward morning a little sleep, and so I with some
+little repose and rest
+
+
+
+26th.  Rose, and up and by water to White Hall, but with my mind mightily
+troubled for the poor girle, whom I fear I have undone by this, my [wife]
+telling me that she would turn her out of doors.  However, I was obliged
+to attend the Duke of York, thinking to have had a meeting of Tangier
+to-day, but had not; but he did take me and Mr. Wren into his closet, and
+there did press me to prepare what I had to say upon the answers of my
+fellow-officers to his great letter, which I promised to do against his
+coming to town again, the next week; and so to other discourse, finding
+plainly that he is in trouble, and apprehensions of the Reformers, and
+would be found to do what he can towards reforming, himself.  And so
+thence to my Lord Sandwich's, where, after long stay, he being in talk
+with others privately, I to him; and there he, taking physic and keeping
+his chamber, I had an hour's talk with him about the ill posture of
+things at this time, while the King gives countenance to Sir Charles
+Sidly and Lord Buckhurst, telling him their late story of running up and
+down the streets a little while since all night, and their being beaten
+and clapped up all night by the constable, who is since chid and
+imprisoned for his pains.  He tells me that he thinks his matters do
+stand well with the King, and hopes to have dispatch to his mind; but
+I doubt it, and do see that he do fear it, too.  He told me my Lady
+Carteret's trouble about my writing of that letter of the Duke of York's
+lately to the Office, which I did not own, but declared to be of no
+injury to G. Carteret, and that I would write a letter to him to satisfy
+him therein.  But this I am in pain how to do, without doing myself
+wrong, and the end I had, of preparing a justification to myself
+hereafter, when the faults of the Navy come to be found out however,
+I will do it in the best manner I can.  Thence by coach home and to
+dinner, finding my wife mightily discontented, and the girle sad, and no
+words from my wife to her.  So after dinner they out with me about two or
+three things, and so home again, I all the evening busy, and my wife full
+of trouble in her looks, and anon to bed, where about midnight she wakes
+me, and there falls foul of me again, affirming that she saw me hug and
+kiss the girle; the latter I denied, and truly, the other I confessed and
+no more, and upon her pressing me did offer to give her under my hand
+that I would never see Mrs. Pierce more nor Knepp, but did promise her
+particular demonstrations of my true love to her, owning some
+indiscretions in what I did, but that there was no harm in it.  She at
+last upon these promises was quiet, and very kind we were, and so to
+sleep, and
+
+
+
+27th.  In the morning up, but my, mind troubled for the poor girle, with
+whom I could not get opportunity to speak, but to the office, my mind
+mighty full of sorrow for her, to the office, where all the morning, and
+to dinner with my people, and to the office all the afternoon, and so at
+night home, and there busy to get some things ready against to-morrow's
+meeting of Tangier, and that being done, and my clerks gone, my wife did
+towards bedtime begin to be in a mighty rage from some new matter that
+she had got in her head, and did most part of the night in bed rant at me
+in most high terms of threats of publishing my shame, and when I offered
+to rise would have rose too, and caused a candle to be light to burn by
+her all night in the chimney while she ranted, while the knowing myself
+to have given some grounds for it, did make it my business to appease her
+all I could possibly, and by good words and fair promises did make her
+very quiet, and so rested all night, and rose with perfect good peace,
+being heartily afflicted for this folly of mine that did occasion it,
+but was forced to be silent about the girle, which I have no mind to part
+with, but much less that the poor girle should be undone by my folly.
+So up with mighty kindness from my wife and a thorough peace, and being
+up did by a note advise the girle what I had done and owned, which note I
+was in pain for till she told me she had burned it.  This evening Mr.
+Spong come, and sat late with me, and first told me of the instrument
+called parallelogram,
+
+     [This useful instrument, used for copying maps, plans, drawings, &c.
+     either of the same size, or larger or smaller than the originals, is
+     now named a pantograph.]
+
+which I must have one of, shewing me his practice thereon, by a map of
+England.
+
+
+
+28th.  So by coach with Mr. Gibson to Chancery Lane, and there made oath
+before a Master of Chancery to the Tangier account of fees, and so to
+White Hall, where, by and by, a Committee met, my Lord Sandwich there,
+but his report was not received, it being late; but only a little
+business done, about the supplying the place with victuals.  But I did
+get, to my great content, my account allowed of fees, with great applause
+by my Lord Ashly and Sir W. Pen.  Thence home, calling at one or two
+places; and there about our workmen, who are at work upon my wife's
+closet, and other parts of my house, that we are all in dirt.  So after
+dinner with Mr. Gibson all the afternoon in my closet, and at night to
+supper and to bed, my wife and I at good peace, but yet with some little
+grudgings of trouble in her and more in me about the poor girle.
+
+
+
+29th.  At the office all the morning, where Mr. Wren first tells us of
+the order from the King, came last night to the Duke of York, for
+signifying his pleasure to the Sollicitor-General for drawing up a
+Commission for suspending of my Lord Anglesey, and putting in Sir Thomas.
+Littleton and Sir Thomas Osborne, the former a creature of Arlington's,
+and the latter of the Duke of Buckingham's, during the suspension.
+The Duke of York was forced to obey, and did grant it, he being to go
+to Newmarket this day with the King, and so the King pressed for it.
+But Mr. Wren do own that the Duke of York is the most wounded in this,
+in the world, for it is done and concluded without his privity, after his
+appearing for Lord Anglesey, and that it is plain that they do ayme to
+bring the Admiralty into Commission too, and lessen the Duke of York.
+This do put strange apprehensions into all our Board; only I think I am
+the least troubled at it, for I care not at all for it: but my Lord
+Brouncker and Pen do seem to think much of it.  So home to dinner, full
+of this news, and after dinner to the office, and so home all the
+afternoon to do business towards my drawing up an account for the Duke of
+York of the answers of this office to his late great letter, and late at
+it, and so to bed, with great peace from my wife and quiet, I bless God.
+
+
+
+30th.  Up betimes; and Mr. Povy comes to even accounts with me, which we
+did, and then fell to other talk.  He tells, in short, how the King is
+made a child of, by Buckingham and Arlington, to the lessening of the
+Duke of York, whom they cannot suffer to be great, for fear of my Lord
+Chancellor's return, which, therefore, they make the King violent
+against.  That he believes it is impossible these two great men can hold
+together long: or, at least, that the ambition of the former is so great,
+that he will endeavour to master all, and bring into play as many as he
+can.  That Anglesey will not lose his place easily, but will contend in
+law with whoever comes to execute it.  That the Duke of York, in all
+things but in his cod-piece, is led by the nose by his wife.  That
+W. Coventry is now, by the Duke of York, made friends with the Duchess;
+and that he is often there, and waits on her.  That he do believe that
+these present great men will break in time, and that W. Coventry will be
+a great man again; for he do labour to have nothing to do in matters of
+the State, and is so usefull to the side that he is on, that he will
+stand, though at present he is quite out of play.  That my Lady
+Castlemayne hates the Duke of Buckingham.  That the Duke of York hath
+expressed himself very kind to my Lord Sandwich, which I am mighty glad
+of.  That we are to expect more changes if these men stand.  This done,
+he and I to talk of my coach, and I got him to go see it, where he finds
+most infinite fault with it, both as to being out of fashion and heavy,
+with so good reason that I am mightily glad of his having corrected me in
+it; and so I do resolve to have one of his build, and with his advice,
+both in coach and horses, he being the fittest man in the world for it,
+and so he carried me home, and said the same to my wife.  So I to the
+office and he away, and at noon I home to dinner, and all the afternoon
+late with Gibson at my chamber about my present great business, only a
+little in the afternoon at the office about Sir D. Gawden's accounts, and
+so to bed and slept heartily, my wife and I at good peace, but my heart
+troubled and her mind not at ease, I perceive, she against and I for the
+girle, to whom I have not said anything these three days, but resolve to
+be mighty strange in appearance to her.  This night W. Batelier come and
+took his leave of us, he setting out for France to-morrow.
+
+
+
+31st.  Up, and at the office all the morning.  At noon home to dinner
+with my people, and afternoon to the office again, and then to my chamber
+with Gibson to do more about my great answer for the Duke of York, and so
+at night after supper to bed well pleased with my advance thereon.  This
+day my Lord Anglesey was at the Office, and do seem to make nothing of
+this business of his suspension, resolving to bring it into the Council,
+where he seems not to doubt to have right, he standing upon his defence
+and patent, and hath put in his caveats to the several Offices: so, as
+soon as the King comes back again, which will be on Tuesday next, he will
+bring it into the Council.  So ends this month with some quiet to my
+mind, though not perfect, after the greatest falling out with my poor
+wife, and through my folly with the girl, that ever I had, and I have
+reason to be sorry and ashamed of it, and more to be troubled for the
+poor girl's sake, whom I fear I shall by this means prove the ruin of,
+though I shall think myself concerned both to love and be a friend to
+her.  This day Roger Pepys and his son Talbot, newly come to town, come
+and dined with me, and mighty glad I am to see them.
