+
+January 1st.  Up, and presented from Captain Beckford with a noble silver
+warming-pan, which I am doubtful whether to take or no.  Up, and with W.
+Hewer to the New Exchange, and then he and I to the cabinet-shops, to look
+out, and did agree, for a cabinet to give my wife for a New-year's gift;
+and I did buy one cost me L11, which is very pretty, of walnutt-tree, and
+will come home to-morrow.  So back to the old Exchange, and there met my
+uncle Wight; and there walked, and met with the Houblons, and talked with
+them--gentlemen whom I honour mightily: and so to my uncle's, and met my
+wife; and there, with W. Hewer, we dined with our family, and had a very
+good dinner, and pretty merry and after dinner, my wife and I with our
+coach to the King's playhouse, and there in a box saw "The Mayden Queene."
+Knepp looked upon us, but I durst not shew her any countenance; and, as
+well as I could carry myself, I found my wife uneasy there, poor wretch!
+therefore, I shall avoid that house as much as I can.  So back to my
+aunt's, and there supped and talked, and staid pretty late, it being dry
+and moonshine, and so walked home, and to bed in very good humour.
+
+2nd.  Up, at the office all the morning, and at noon home to dinner, where
+I find my cabinet come home, and paid for it, and it pleases me and my
+wife well.  So after dinner busy late at the office, and so home and to
+bed.
+
+3rd (Lord's day).  Up, and busy all the morning, getting rooms and dinner
+ready for my guests, which were my uncle and aunt Wight, and two of their
+cousins, and an old woman, and Mr. Mills and his wife; and a good dinner,
+and all our plate out, and mighty fine and merry, only I a little vexed at
+burning a new table-cloth myself, with one of my trencher-salts. Dinner
+done, I out with W. Hewer and Mr. Spong, who by accident come to dine with
+me, and good talk with him: to White Hall by coach, and there left him,
+and I with my Lord Brouncker to attend the Duke of York, and then up and
+down the House till the evening, hearing how the King do intend this
+frosty weather, it being this day the first, and very hard frost, that
+hath come this year, and very cold it is.  So home; and to supper and
+read; and there my wife and I treating about coming to an allowance to my
+wife for clothes; and there I, out of my natural backwardness, did hang
+off, which vexed her, and did occasion some discontented talk in bed, when
+we went to bed; and also in the morning, but I did recover all in the
+morning.
+
+4th.  Lay long, talking with my wife, and did of my own accord come to an
+allowance of her of L30 a-year for all expences, clothes and everything,
+which she was mightily pleased with, it being more than ever she asked or
+expected, and so rose, with much content, and up with W. Hewer to White
+Hall, there to speak with Mr. Wren, which I did about several things of
+the office entered in my memorandum books, and so about noon, going
+homeward with W. Hewer, he and I went in and saw the great tall woman that
+is to be seen, who is but twenty-one years old, and I do easily stand
+under her arms.  Then, going further, The. Turner called me, out of her
+coach where her mother, &c., was, and invited me by all means to dine with
+them, at my cozen Roger's mistress's, the widow Dickenson!  So, I went to
+them afterwards, and dined with them, and mighty handsomely treated, and
+she a wonderful merry, good-humoured, fat, but plain woman, but I believe
+a very good woman, and mighty civil to me.  Mrs. Turner, the mother, and
+Mrs. Dyke, and The., and Betty was the company, and a gentleman of their
+acquaintance.  Betty I did long to see, and she is indifferent pretty, but
+not what the world did speak of her; but I am mighty glad to have one so
+pretty of our kindred.  After dinner, I walked with them, to shew them the
+great woman, which they admire, as well they may; and so back with them,
+and left them; and I to White Hall, where a Committee of Tangier met, but
+little to do there, but I did receive an instance of the Duke of York's
+kindness to me, and the whole Committee, that they would not order any
+thing about the Treasurer for the Corporation now in establishing, without
+my assent, and considering whether it would be to my wrong or no.  Thence
+up and down the house, and to the Duke of York's side, and there in the
+Duchess's presence; and was mightily complimented by my Lady Peterborough,
+in my Lord Sandwich's presence, whom she engaged to thank me for my
+kindness to her and her Lord.  .  .  .  By and by I met my Lord Brouncker;
+and he and I to the Duke of York alone, and discoursed over the carriage
+of the present Treasurers, in opposition to, or at least independency of,
+the Duke of York, or our Board, which the Duke of York is sensible of, and
+all remember, I believe; for they do carry themselves very respectlessly
+of him and us.  We also declared our minds together to the Duke of York
+about Sir John Minnes's incapacity to do any service in the Office, and
+that it is but to betray the King to have any business of trust committed
+to his weakness.  So the Duke of York was very sensible of it and promised
+to speak to the King about it.  That done, I with W. Hewer took up my wife
+at Unthank's, and so home, and there with pleasure to read and talk, and
+so to supper, and put into writing, in merry terms, our agreement between
+my wife and me, about L30 a-year, and so to bed.  This was done under both
+our hands merrily, and put into W. Hewer's to keep.
+
+5th.  Up, and to the office all the morning, the frost and cold
+continuing.  At noon home with my people to dinner; and so to work at the
+office again; in the evening comes Creed to me, and tells me his wife is
+at my house.  So I in, and spent an hour with them, the first time she
+hath been here, or I have seen her, since she was married.  She is not
+overhandsome, though a good lady, and one I love.  So after some pleasant
+discourse, they gone, I to the Office again, and there late, and then home
+to supper to my wife, who is not very well of those, and so sat talking
+till past one in the morning, and then to bed.
+
+6th (Twelfth day).  Up, and to look after things against dinner to-day for
+my guests, and then to the Office to write down my journall for five or
+six days backward, and so home to look after dinner, it being now almost
+noon.  At noon comes Mrs. Turner and Dyke, and Mrs. Dickenson, and then
+comes The. and Betty Turner, the latter of which is a very pretty girl;
+and then Creed and his wife, whom I sent for, by my coach. These were my
+guests, and Mrs. Turner's friend, whom I saw the other day, Mr. Wicken,
+and very merry we were at dinner, and so all the afternoon, talking, and
+looking up and down my house; and in the evening I did bring out my
+cake--a noble cake, and there cut it into pieces, with wine and good
+drink: and after a new fashion, to prevent spoiling the cake, did put so
+many titles into a hat, and so drew cuts; and I was the Queene; and The.
+Turner, King--Creed, Sir Martin Marr-all; and Betty, Mrs. Millicent: and
+so we were mighty merry till it was night; and then, being moonshine and
+fine frost, they went home, I lending some of them my coach to help to
+carry them, and so my wife and I spent the rest of the evening in talk and
+reading, and so with great pleasure to bed.
+
+7th.  Up, and to the office, where busy all the morning, and then at noon
+home to dinner, and thence my wife and I to the King's playhouse, and
+there saw "The Island Princesse," the first time I ever saw it; and it is
+a pretty good play, many good things being in it, and a good scene of a
+town on fire.  We sat in an upper box, and the jade Nell come and sat in
+the next box; a bold merry slut, who lay laughing there upon people; and
+with a comrade of hers of the Duke's house, that come in to see the play.
+Thence home and to the office to do some business, and so home to supper
+and to bed.
+
+8th.  Up, and with Colonel Middleton, in his coach, and Mr. Tippets to
+White Hall; and there attended the Duke of York with the rest, where the
+Duke was mighty plain with the Treasurers, according to the advice my Lord
+Brouncker and I did give him the other night, and he did it fully; and so
+as, I believe, will make the Treasurers carefull of themselves, unless
+they do resolve upon defying the Duke of York.  Thence with W. Hewer home,
+and to dinner, and so out again, my wife and I and Mr. Hater to White
+Hall, where she set us down, and she up and down to buy things, while we
+at the Treasury-Chamber, where I alone did manage the business of "The
+Leopard" against the whole Committee of the East India Company,  with Mr.
+Blackburne with them; and to the silencing of them all, to my no great
+content.  Thence walked to my wife, and so set out for home in our coach,
+it being very cold weather, and so to the office to do a little business,
+and then home to my wife's chamber, my people having laid the cloth, and
+got the rooms all clean above-stairs to-night for our dinner to-morrow,
+and therefore I to bed.
+
+9th.  Up, and at the office all the morning, and at noon, my Lord
+Brouncker, Mr. Wren, Joseph Williamson, and Captain Cocke, dined with me;
+and, being newly sat down, comes in, by invitation of Williamson's, the
+Lieutenant of the Tower, and he brings in with him young Mr. Whore, whose
+father, of the Tower, I know.--And here I had a neat dinner, and all in so
+good manner and fashion, and with so good company, and everything to my
+mind, as I never had more in my life--the company being to my heart's
+content, and they all well pleased.  So continued, looking over my books
+and closet till the evening, and so I to the Office and did a good deal of
+business, and so home to supper and to bed with my mind mightily pleased
+with this day's management, as one of the days of my life of fullest
+content.
+
+10th (Lord's day).  Accidentally talking of our maids before we rose, I
+said a little word that did give occasion to my wife to fall out; and she
+did most vexatiously, almost all the morning, but ended most perfect good
+friends; but the thoughts of the unquiet which her ripping up of old
+faults will give me, did make me melancholy all day long.  So about noon,
+past 12, we rose, and to dinner, and then to read and talk, my wife and I
+alone, for Balty was gone, who come to dine with us, and then in the
+evening comes Pelting to sit and talk with us, and so to supper and pretty
+merry discourse, only my mind a little vexed at the morning's work, but
+yet without any appearance.  So after supper to bed.
+
+11th.  Up, and with W. Hewer, my guard, to White Hall, where no Committee
+of Tangier met, so up and down the House talking with this and that man,
+and so home, calling at the New Exchange for a book or two to send to Mr.
+Shepley and thence home, and thence to the 'Change, and there did a little
+business, and so walked home to dinner, and then abroad with my wife to
+the King's playhouse, and there saw "The Joviall Crew," but ill acted to
+what it was heretofore, in Clun's time, and when Lacy could dance.  Thence
+to the New Exchange, to buy some things; and, among others, my wife did
+give me my pair of gloves, which, by contract, she is to give me in her
+L30 a-year.  Here Mrs. Smith tells us of the great murder thereabouts, on
+Saturday last, of one Captain Bumbridge, by one Symons, both of her
+acquaintance; and hectors that were at play, and in drink: the former is
+killed, and is kinsman to my Lord of Ormond, which made him speak of it
+with so much passion, as I overheard him this morning, but could not make
+anything of it till now, but would they would kill more of them.  So home;
+and there at home all the evening; and made Tom to prick down some little
+conceits and notions of mine, in musique, which do mightily encourage me
+to spend some more thoughts about it; for I fancy, upon good reason, that
+I am in the right way of unfolding the mystery of this matter, better than
+ever yet.
+
+12th.  Up, and to the Office, where, by occasion of a message from the
+Treasurers that their Board found fault with Commissioner Middleton, I
+went up from our Board to the Lords of the Treasury to meet our
+Treasurers, and did, and there did dispute the business, it being about
+the matter of paying a little money to Chatham Yard, wherein I find the
+Treasurers mighty supple, and I believe we shall bring them to reason,
+though they begun mighty upon us, as if we had no power of directing them,
+but they, us.  Thence back presently home, to dinner, where I discern my
+wife to have been in pain about where I have been, but said nothing to me,
+but I believe did send W. Hewer to seek me, but I take no notice of it,
+but am vexed.  So to dinner with my people, and then to the Office, where
+all the afternoon, and did much business, and at it late, and so home to
+supper, and to bed.  This day, meeting Mr. Pierce at White Hall, he tells
+me that his boy hath a great mind to see me, and is going to school again;
+and Dr. Clerke, being by, do tell me that he is a fine boy; but I durst
+not answer anything, because I durst not invite him to my house, for fear
+of my wife; and therefore, to my great trouble, was forced to neglect that
+discourse.  But here Mr. Pierce, I asking him whither he was going, told
+me as a great secret that he was going to his master's mistress, Mrs.
+Churchill, with some physic; meaning for the pox I suppose, or else that
+she is got with child.  This evening I observed my wife mighty dull, and I
+myself was not mighty fond, because of some hard words she did give me at
+noon, out of a jealousy at my being abroad this morning, which, God knows,
+it was upon the business of the Office unexpectedly: but I to bed, not
+thinking but she would come after me. But waking by and by out of a
+slumber, which I usually fall into presently after my coming into the bed,
+I found she did not prepare to come to bed, but got fresh candles, and
+more wood for her fire, it being mighty cold, too.  At this being
+troubled, I after a while prayed her to come to bed, all my people being
+gone to bed; so, after an hour or two, she silent, and I now and then
+praying her to come to bed, she fell out into a fury, that I was a rogue,
+and false to her.  But yet I did perceive that she was to seek what to
+say, only she invented, I believe, a business that I was seen in a hackney
+coach with the glasses up with Deb., but could not tell the time, nor was
+sure I was he.  I did, as I might truly, deny it, and was mightily
+troubled, but all would not serve. At last, about one o'clock, she come to
+my side of the bed, and drew my curtaine open, and with the tongs red hot
+at the ends, made as if she did design to pinch me with them, at which, in
+dismay, I rose up, and with a few words she laid them down; and did by
+little and, little, very sillily, let all the discourse fall; and about
+two, but with much seeming difficulty, come to bed, and there lay well all
+night, and long in bed talking together, with much pleasure, it being, I
+know, nothing but her doubt of my going out yesterday, without telling her
+of my going, which did vex her, poor wretch! last night, and I cannot
+blame her jealousy, though it do vex me to the heart.
+
+13th.  So up and by coach to Sir W. Coventry's, but he gone out, so I to
+White Hall, and thence walked out into the Park, all in the snow, with the
+Duke of York and the rest, and so home, after visiting my Lady
+Peterborough, and there by invitation find Mr. Povy, and there was also
+Talbot Pepys, newly come from Impington, and dined with me; and after
+dinner and a little talk with Povy about publick matters, he gone, and I
+and my wife and Talbot towards the Temple, and there to the King's
+playhouse, and there saw, I think, "The Maiden Queene," and so home and to
+supper and read, and to bed.  This day come home the instrument I have so
+long longed for, the Parallelogram.
+
+14th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning busy, and so home to
+dinner, where Goodgroome with us, and after dinner a song, and then to the
+office, where busy till night, and then home to work there with W. Hewer
+to get ready some Tangier papers against to-morrow, and so to supper and
+to bed.
+
+15th.  Up, and by coach to Sir W. Coventry, where with him a good while in
+his chamber, talking of one thing or another; among others, he told me of
+the great factions at Court at this day, even to the sober engaging of
+great persons, and differences, and making the King cheap and ridiculous.
+It is about my Lady Harvy's being offended at Doll Common's acting of
+Sempronia, to imitate her; for which she got my Lord Chamberlain, her
+kinsman, to imprison Doll: when my Lady Castlemayne made the King to
+release her, and to order her to act it again, worse than ever, the other
+day, where the King himself was: and since it was acted again, and my Lady
+Harvy provided people to hiss her and fling oranges at her: but, it seems
+the heat is come to a great height, and real troubles at Court about it.
+Thence he and I out of doors, but he to Sir J. Duncomb, and I to White
+Hall through the Park, where I met the King and the Duke of York, and so
+walked with them, and so to White Hall, where the Duke of York met the
+office and did a little business; and I did give him thanks for his favour
+to me yesterday, at the Committee of Tangier, in my absence, Mr. Povy
+having given me advice of it, of the discourse there of doing something as
+to the putting the payment of the garrison into some undertaker's hand,
+Alderman Backewell, which the Duke of York would not suffer to go on,
+without my presence at the debate.  And he answered me just thus: that he
+ought to have a care of him that do the King's business in the manner that
+I do, and words of more force than that. Then down with Lord Brouncker to
+Sir R. Murray, into the King's little elaboratory, under his closet, a
+pretty place; and there saw a great many chymical glasses and things, but
+understood none of them.  So I home and to dinner, and then out again and
+stop with my wife at my cozen Turner's where I staid and sat a while, and
+carried The. and my wife to the Duke of York's house, to "Macbeth," and
+myself to White Hall, to the Lords of the Treasury, about Tangier
+business; and there was by at much merry discourse between them and my
+Lord Anglesey, who  made sport of our new Treasurers, and called them his
+deputys, and much of that kind.  And having done my own business, I away
+back, and carried my cozen Turner and sister Dyke to a friend's house,
+where they were to sup, in Lincoln's Inn Fields; and I to the Duke of
+York's house and saw the last two acts, and so carried The. thither, and
+so home with my wife, who read to me late, and so to supper and to bed.
+This day The. Turner shewed me at the play my Lady Portman, who has grown
+out of my knowledge.
+
+16th.  Up, and to the office all the morning, dined at home with my
+people, and so all the afternoon till night at the office busy, and so
+home to supper and to bed.  This morning Creed, and in the afternoon comes
+Povy, to advise with me about my answer to the Lords [Commissioners] of
+Tangier, about the propositions for the Treasurership there, which I am
+not much concerned for.  But the latter, talking of publick things, told
+me, as Mr. Wren also did, that the Parliament is likely to meets again,
+the King being frighted with what the Speaker hath put him in mind of--his
+promise not to prorogue, but only to adjourne them.  They speak mighty
+freely of the folly of the King in this foolish woman's business, of my
+Lady Harvy.  Povy tells me that Sir W. Coventry was with the King alone,
+an hour this day; and that my Lady Castlemayne is now in a higher command
+over the King than ever--not as a mistress, for she scorns him, but as a
+tyrant, to command him: and says that the Duchess of York and the Duke of
+York are mighty great with her, which is a great interest to my Lord
+Chancellor's' family; and that they do agree to hinder all they can the
+proceedings of the Duke of Buckingham and Arlington: and so we are in the
+old mad condition, or rather worse than any; no man knowing what the
+French intend to do the next summer.
+
+17th (Lord's day).  To church myself after seeing every thing fitted for
+dinner, and so, after church, home, and thither comes Mrs. Batelier and
+her two daughters to dinner to us; and W. Hewer and his mother, and Mr.
+Spong.  We were very civilly merry, and Mrs. Batelier a very discreet
+woman, but mighty fond in the stories she tells of her son Will.  After
+dinner, Mr. Spong and I to my closet, there to try my instrument
+Parallelogram, which do mighty well, to my full content; but only a little
+stiff, as being new.  Thence, taking leave of my guests, he and I and W.
+Hewer to White Hall, and there parting with Spong, a man that I mightily
+love for his plainness and ingenuity, I into the Court, and there up and
+down and spoke with my Lords Bellassis and Peterborough about the business
+now in dispute, about my deputing a Treasurer to pay the garrison at
+Tangier, which I would avoid, and not be accountable, and they will serve
+me therein.  Here I met Hugh May, and he brings me to the knowledge of Sir
+Henry Capell, a Member of Parliament, and brother of my Lord of Essex, who
+hath a great value, it seems, for me; and they appoint a day to come and
+dine with me, and see my books, and papers of the Office, which I shall be
+glad to shew them, and have opportunity to satisfy them therein.  Here all
+the discourse is, that now the King is of opinion to have the Parliament
+called, notwithstanding his late resolutions for proroguing them; so
+unstable are his councils, and those about him.  So staying late talking
+in the Queen's side, I away, with W. Hewer home, and there to read and
+talk with my wife, and so to bed.
+
+18th.  Up by candlelight, and with W. Hewer walked to the Temple, and
+thence took coach and to Sir William Coventry's, and there discoursed the
+business of my Treasurer's place, at Tangier, wherein he consents to my
+desire, and concurs therein, which I am glad of, that I may not be
+accountable for a man so far off.  And so I to my Lord Sandwich's, and
+there walk with him through the garden, to White Hall, where he tells me
+what he had done about this Treasurer's place, and I perceive the whole
+thing did proceed from him: that finding it would be best to have the
+Governor have nothing to do with the pay of the garrison, he did propose
+to the Duke of York alone that a pay-master should be there; and that
+being desirous to do a courtesy to Sir Charles Harbord, and to prevent the
+Duke of York's looking out for any body else, he did name him to the Duke
+of York.  That when he come the other day to move this to the Board of
+Tangier, the Duke of York, it seems, did readily reply, that it was fit to
+have Mr. Pepys satisfied therein first, and that it was not good to make
+places for persons.  This my Lord in great confidence tells me, that he do
+take very ill from the Duke of York, though nobody knew the meaning of
+these words but him; and that he did take no notice of them, but bit his
+lip, being satisfied that the Duke of York's care of me was as desirable
+to him, as it could be to have Sir Charles Harbord: and did seem
+industrious to let me see that he was glad that the Duke of York and he
+might come to contend who shall be the kindest to me, which I owned as his
+great love, and so I hope and believe it is, though my Lord did go a
+little too far in this business, to move it so far, without consulting me.
+But I took no notice of that, but was glad to see this competition come
+about, that my Lord Sandwich is apparently jealous of my thinking that the
+Duke of York do mean me more kindness than him.  So we walked together,
+and I took this occasion to invite him to dinner one day to my house, and
+he readily appointed Friday next, which I shall be glad to have over to
+his content, he having never yet eat a bit of my bread. Thence to the Duke
+of York on the King's side, with our Treasurers of the Navy, to discourse
+some business of the Navy, about the pay of the yards, and there I was
+taken notice of, many Lords being there in the room, of the Duke of York's
+conference with me; and so away, and meeting Mr. Sidney Montagu and
+Sheres, a small invitation served their turn to carry them to London,
+where I paid Sheres his L100, given him for his pains in drawing the plate
+of Tangier fortifications, &c., and so home to my house to dinner, where I
+had a pretty handsome sudden dinner, and all well pleased; and thence we
+three and my wife to the Duke of York's playhouse, and there saw "The
+Witts," a medley of things, but some similes mighty good, though ill
+mixed; and thence with my wife to the Exchange and bought some things, and
+so home, after I had been at White Hall, and there in the Queen's
+withdrawing-room invited my Lord Peterborough to dine with me, with my
+Lord Sandwich, who readily accepted it.  Thence back and took up my wife
+at the 'Change, and so home.  This day at noon I went with my young
+gentlemen (thereby to get a little time while W. Hewer went home to bid
+them get a dinner ready) to the Pope's Head tavern, there to see the fine
+painted room which Rogerson told me of, of his doing; but I do not like it
+at all, though it be good for such a publick room.
+
+19th.  Up, and at the office all the morning.  At noon eat a mouthful, and
+so with my wife to Madam Turner's, and find her gone, but The. staid for
+us; and so to the King's house, to see "Horace;" this the third day of its
+acting--a silly tragedy; but Lacy hath made a farce of several
+dances--between each act, one: but his words are but silly, and invention
+not extraordinary, as to the dances; only some Dutchmen come out of the
+mouth and tail of a Hamburgh sow.  Thence, not much pleased with the play,
+set them at home in the Strand; and my wife and I home, and there to do a
+little business at the Office, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+20th.  Up; and my wife, and I, and W. Hewer to White Hall, where she set
+us down; and there I spoke with my Lord Peterborough, to tell him of the
+day for his dining with me being altered by my Lord Sandwich from Friday
+to Saturday next.  And thence heard at the Council-board the City, by
+their single counsel Symson, and the company of Strangers Merchants, a
+debate the business of water-baylage; a tax demanded upon all goods, by
+the City, imported and exported: which these Merchants oppose, and
+demanding leave to try the justice of the City's demand by a Quo Warranto,
+which the City opposed, the Merchants did quite lay the City on their
+backs with great triumph, the City's cause being apparently too weak: but
+here I observed Mr. Gold, the merchant, to speak very well, and very
+sharply, against the City.  Thence to my wife at Unthanke's, and with her
+and W. Hewer to Hercules Pillars, calling to do two or three things by the
+way, end there dined, and thence to the Duke of York's house, and saw
+"Twelfth Night," as it is now revived; but, I think, one of the weakest
+plays that ever I saw on the stage.  This afternoon, before the play, I
+called with my wife at Dancre's, the great landscape-painter, by Mr.
+Povy's advice; and have bespoke him to come to take measure of my
+dining-room panels, and there I met with the pretty daughter of the
+coalseller's, that lived in Cheapside, and now in Covent Garden, who hath
+her picture drawn here, but very poorly; but she is a pretty woman, and
+now, I perceive, married, a very pretty black woman. So, the play done, we
+home, my wife letting fall some words of her observing my eyes to be
+mightily employed in the playhouse, meaning upon women, which did vex me;
+but, however, when we come home, we were good friends; and so to read, and
+to supper, and so to bed.
+
+21st. Up, and walked to the Temple, it being frosty, and there took coach,
+my boy Tom with me, and so to White Hall to a Committee of Tangier, where
+they met, and by and by and till twelve at noon upon business, among
+others mine, where my desire about being eased of appointing and standing
+accountable for a Treasurer there was well accepted, and they will think
+of some other way.  This I was glad of, finding reason to doubt that I
+might in this (since my Lord Sandwich made me understand what he had said
+to the Duke of York herein) fear to offend either the Duke of York by
+denying it, for he seemed on Sunday night last, when I first made known my
+desire to him herein to be a little amused at it, though I knew not then
+the reason, or else offend my Lord Sandwich by accepting it, or denying it
+in a manner that might not forward his desire for Sir Charles Harbord, but
+I thank God I did it to my great content without any offence, I think, to
+either.  Thence in my own coach home, where I find Madam Turner, Dyke, and
+The., and had a good dinner for them, and merry; and so carried them to
+the Duke of York's house, all but Dyke, who went away on other business;
+and there saw "The Tempest;" but it is but ill done by Gosnell, in lieu of
+Moll Davis. Thence set them at home, and my wife and I to the 'Change, and
+so home, where my wife mighty dogged, and I vexed to see it, being
+mightily troubled, of late, at her being out of humour, for fear of her
+discovering any new matter of offence against me, though I am conscious of
+none; but do hate to be unquiet at home.  So, late up, silent, and not
+supping, but hearing her utter some words of discontent to me with
+silence, and so to bed, weeping to myself for grief, which she discerning,
+come to bed, and mighty kind, and so with great joy on both sides to
+sleep.
+
+22nd.  Up, and with W. Hewer to White Hall, and there attended the Duke of
+York, and thence to the Exchange, in the way calling at several places on
+occasions relating to my feast to-morrow, on which my mind is now set; as
+how to get a new looking-glass for my dining-room, and some pewter, and
+good wine, against to-morrow; and so home, where I had the looking-glass
+set up, cost me L6  7s. 6d.  And here at the 'Change I met with Mr.
+Dancre, the famous landscape painter, with whom I was on Wednesday; and he
+took measure of my panels in my dining-room, where, in the four, I intend
+to have the four houses of the King, White Hall, Hampton Court, Greenwich,
+and Windsor.  He gone, I to dinner with my people, and so to my office to
+dispatch a little business, and then home to look after things against
+to-morrow, and among other things was mightily pleased with the fellow
+that come to lay the cloth, and fold the napkins, which I like so well, as
+that I am resolved to give him 40s. to teach my wife to do it.  So to
+supper, with much kindness between me and my wife, which, now-a-days, is
+all my care, and so to bed.
+
+23rd.  Up, and again to look after the setting things right against
+dinner, which I did to very good content.  So to the office, where all the
+morning till noon, when word brought me to the Board that my Lord Sandwich
+was come; so I presently rose, leaving the Board ready to rise, and there
+I found my Lord Sandwich, Peterborough, and Sir Charles Harbord; and
+presently after them comes my Lord Hinchingbroke, Mr. Sidney, and Sir
+William Godolphin.  And after greeting them, and some time spent in talk,
+dinner was brought up, one dish after another, but a dish at a time, but
+all so good; but, above all things, the variety of wines, and excellent of
+their kind, I had for them, and all in so good order, that they were
+mightily pleased, and myself full of content at it: and indeed it was, of
+a dinner of about six or eight dishes, as noble as any man need to have, I
+think; at least, all was done in the noblest manner that ever I had any,
+and I have rarely seen in my life better anywhere else, even at the Court.
+After dinner, my Lords to cards, and the rest of us sitting about them and
+talking, and looking on my books and pictures, and my wife's drawings,
+which they commend mightily; and mighty merry all day long, with exceeding
+great content, and so till seven at night; and so took their leaves, it
+being dark and foul weather.  Thus was this entertainment over, the best
+of its kind, and the fullest of honour and content to me, that ever I had
+in my life: and shall not easily have so good again.  The truth is, I have
+some fear that I am more behind-hand in the world for these last two
+years, since I have not, or for some time could not, look after my
+accounts, which do a little allay my pleasure.  But I do trust in God I am
+pretty well yet, and resolve, in a very little time, to look into my
+accounts, and see how they stand.  So to my wife's chamber, and there
+supped, and got her cut my hair and look my shirt, for I have itched
+mightily these 6 or 7 days, and when all comes to all she finds that I am
+lousy, having found in my head and body about twenty lice, little and
+great, which I wonder at, being more than I have had I believe these 20
+years.  I did think I might have got them from the little boy, but they
+did presently look him, and found none.  So how they come I know not, but
+presently did shift myself, and so shall be rid of them, and cut my hair
+close to my head, and so with much content to bed.
+
+24th (Lord's day).  An order brought me in bed, for the Principal Officers
+to attend the King at my Lord Keeper's this afternoon, it being resolved
+late the last night; and, by the warrant, I find my Lord Keeper did not
+then know the cause of it, the messenger being ordered to call upon him,
+to tell it him by the way, as he come to us.  So I up, and to my Office to
+set down my Journall for yesterday, and so home, and with my wife to
+Church, and then home, and to dinner, and after dinner out with my wife by
+coach, to cozen Turner's, where she and The. gone to church, but I left my
+wife with Mrs. Dyke and Joyce Norton, whom I have not seen till now since
+their coming to town: she is become an old woman, and with as cunning a
+look as ever, and thence I to White Hall, and there walked up and down
+till the King and Duke of York were ready to go forth; and here I met
+Will. Batelier, newly come post from France, his boots all dirty.  He
+brought letters to the King, and I glad to see him, it having been
+reported that he was drowned, for some days past, and then, he being gone,
+I to talk with Tom Killigrew, who told me and others, talking about the
+playhouse, that he is fain to keep a woman on purpose at 20s. a week to
+satisfy 8 or 10 of the young men of his house, whom till he did so he
+could never keep to their business, and now he do.  By and by the King
+comes out, and so I took coach, and followed his coaches to my Lord
+Keeper's, at Essex House, where I never was before, since I saw my old
+Lord Essex lie in state when he was dead; a large, but ugly house.  Here
+all the Officers of the Navy attended, and by and by were called in to the
+King and Cabinet, where my Lord, who was ill, did lie upon the bed, as my
+old Lord Treasurer, or Chancellor, heretofore used to; and the business
+was to know in what time all the King's ships might be repaired, fit for
+service.  The Surveyor answered, in two years, and not sooner. I did give
+them hopes that, with supplies of money suitable, we might have them all
+fit for sea some part of the summer after this.  Then they demanded in
+what time we could set out forty ships.  It was answered, as they might be
+chosen of the newest and most ready, we could, with money, get forty ready
+against May.  The King seemed mighty full that we should have money to do
+all that we desired, and satisfied that, without it, nothing could be
+done: and so, without determining any thing, we were dismissed; and I
+doubt all will end in some little fleete this year, and those of hired
+merchant-men, which would indeed be cheaper to the King, and have many
+conveniences attending it, more than to fit out the King's own; and this,
+I perceive, is designed, springing from Sir W. Coventry's counsel; and the
+King and most of the Lords, I perceive, full of it, to get the King's
+fleete all at once in condition for service.  Thence I with Mr. Wren in
+his coach to my cozen Turner's for discourse sake, and in our way he told
+me how the business of the Parliament is wholly laid aside, it being
+overruled now, that they shall not meet, but must be prorogued, upon this
+argument chiefly, that all the differences between the two Houses, and
+things on foot, that were matters of difference and discontent, may be
+laid aside, and must begin again, if ever the House shall have a mind to
+pursue them.  They must begin all anew.  Here he set me down, and I to my
+cozen Turner, and stayed and talked a little; and so took my wife, and
+home, and there to make her read, and then to supper, and to bed.  At
+supper come W. Batelier and supped with us, and told us many pretty things
+of France, and the greatness of the present King.
+
+25th.  Up, and to the Committee of Tangier, where little done, and thence
+I home by my own coach, and busy after dinner at my office all the
+afternoon till late at night, that my eyes were tired.  So home, and my
+wife shewed me many excellent prints of Nanteuil's and others, which W.
+Batelier hath, at my desire, brought me out of France, of the King, and
+Colbert, and others, most excellent, to my great content.  But he hath
+also brought a great many gloves perfumed, of several sorts; but all too
+big by half for her, and yet she will have two or three dozen of them,
+which vexed me, and made me angry.  So she, at last, to please me, did
+come to take what alone I thought fit, which pleased me.  So, after a
+little supper, to bed, my eyes being very bad.
+
+26th.  Up, and to the office, where busy sitting all the morning. Then to
+the Office again, and then to White Hall, leaving my wife at Unthanke's;
+and I to the Secretary's chamber, where I was, by particular order, this
+day summoned to attend, as I find Sir D. Gawden also was. And here was the
+King and the Cabinet met; and, being called in, among the rest I find my
+Lord Privy Seale, whom I never before knew to be in so much play, as to be
+of the Cabinet.  The business is, that the Algerines have broke the peace
+with us, by taking some Spaniards and goods out of an English ship, which
+had the Duke of York's pass, of which advice come this day; and the King
+is resolved to stop Sir Thomas Allen's fleete from coming home till he
+hath amends made him for this affront, and therefore sent for us to advise
+about victuals to be sent to that fleete, and some more ships; wherein I
+answered them to what they demanded of me, which was but some few mean
+things; but I see that on all these occasions they seem to rely most upon
+me.  And so, this being done, I took coach and took up my wife and
+straight home, and there late at the office busy, and then home, and there
+I find W. Batelier hath also sent the books which I made him bring me out
+of France.  Among others, L'Estat, de France, Marnix, &c., to my great
+content; and so I was well pleased with them, and shall take a time to
+look them over: as also one or two printed musick-books of songs; but my
+eyes are now too much out of tune to look upon them with any pleasure,
+therefore to supper and to bed.
+
+27th.  Up, and with Sir John Minnes in his coach to White Hall, where
+first we waited on the Lords of the Treasury about finishing the
+Victualling Contract; and there also I was put to it to make good our
+letter complaining against my Lord Anglesey's failing us in the payment of
+the moneys assigned us upon the Customs, where Mr. Fenn was, and I know
+will tell my Lord; but it is no matter, I am over shy already, and
+therefore must not fear.  Then we up to a Committee of the Council for the
+Navy, about a business of Sir D. Gawden's relating to the Victualling, and
+thence I by hackney to the Temple to the Auditor's man, and with him to a
+tavern to meet with another under-auditor to advise about the clearing of
+my Lord Bellasses' accounts without injuring myself and perplexing my
+accounts, and so thence away to my cozen Turner's, where I find Roger
+Pepys come last night to town, and here is his mistress, Mrs. Dickenson,
+and by and by comes in Mr. Turner, a worthy, sober, serious man--I honour
+him mightily.  And there we dined, having but an ordinary dinner; and so,
+after dinner, she, and I, and Roger, and his mistress, to the Duke of
+York's playhouse, and there saw "The Five Hours' Adventure," which hath
+not been acted a good while before, but once, and is a most excellent
+play, I must confess.  My wife and The. come after us, after they had been
+to buy some things abroad, and so after the play done we to see them home,
+and then home ourselves, and my wife to read to me, and so to supper and
+to bed.
+
+28th.  Up, and to the office, where all the afternoon, also after dinner,
+and there late dispatching much business, and then home to supper with my
+wife, and to get her to read to me, and here I did find that Mr. Sheres
+hath, beyond his promise, not only got me a candlestick made me, after a
+form he remembers to have seen in Spain, for keeping the light from one's
+eyes, but hath got it done in silver very neat, and designs to give it me,
+in thanks for my paying him his L100 in money, for his service at Tangier,
+which was ordered him; but I do intend to force him to make me [pay] for
+it.  But I yet, without his direction, cannot tell how it is to be made
+use of.  So after a little reading to bed.
+
+29th.  Up, and with W. Hewer in Colonel Middleton's coach to White Hall,
+and there to the Duke of York, to attend him, where among other things I
+did give a severe account of our proceedings, and what we found, in the
+business of Sir W. Jenings's demand of Supernumeraries.  I thought it a
+good occasion to make an example of him, for he is a proud, idle fellow;
+and it did meet with the Duke of York's acceptance and well-liking; and he
+did call him in, after I had done, and did not only give him a soft
+rebuke, but condemns him to pay both their victuals and wages, or right
+himself of the purser.  This I was glad of, and so were all the rest of
+us, though I know I have made myself an immortal enemy by it.  Thence home
+by hackney, calling Roger Pepys at the Temple gate in the bookseller's
+shop, and to the Old Exchange, where I staid a little to invite my uncle
+Wight, and so home, and there find my aunt Wight and her husband come
+presently, and so to dinner; and after dinner Roger, and I, and my wife,
+and aunt, to see Mr. Cole; but he nor his wife was within, but we looked
+upon his picture of Cleopatra, which I went principally to see, being so
+much commended by my wife and aunt; but I find it a base copy of a good
+originall, that vexed me to hear so much commended. Thence to see Creed's
+wife, and did so, and staid a while, where both of them within; and here I
+met Mr. Bland, newly come from Gales [Cadiz] after his differences with
+Norwood.  I think him a foolish, light-headed man; but certainly he hath
+been abused in this matter by Colonel Norwood. Here Creed shewed me a copy
+of some propositions, which Bland and others, in the name of the
+Corporation of Tangier, did present to Norwood, for his opinion in, in
+order to the King's service, which were drawn up very humbly, and were
+really good things; but his answer to them was in the most shitten proud,
+carping, insolent, and ironically-prophane stile, that ever I saw in my
+life, so as I shall never think the place can do well, while he is there.
+Here, after some talk, and Creed's telling us that he is upon taking the
+next house to his present lodgings, which is next to that that my cozen
+Tom Pepys once lived in, in Newport Street, in Covent Garden; and is in a
+good place, and then, I suppose, he will keep his coach.  So, setting
+Roger down at the Temple, who tells me that he is now concluded in all
+matters with his widow, we home, and there hired my wife to make an end of
+Boyle's Book of Formes, to-night and to-morrow; and so fell to read and
+sup, and then to bed.  This day, Mr. Ned Pickering brought his lady to see
+my wife, in acknowledgment of a little present of oranges and olives,
+which I sent her, for his kindness to me in the buying of my horses, which
+was very civil.  She is old, but hath, I believe, been a pretty comely
+woman:
+
+30th.  Lay long in bed, it being a fast-day for the murder of the late
+King; and so up and to church, where Dr. Hicks made a dull sermon; and so
+home, and there I find W. Batelier and Balty, and they dined with us, and
+I spent all the afternoon with my wife and W. Batelier talking, and then
+making them read, and particularly made an end of Mr. Boyle's Book of
+Formes, which I am glad to have over, and then fell to read a French
+discourse, which he hath brought over with him for me, to invite the
+people of France to apply themselves to Navigation, which it do very well,
+and is certainly their interest, and what will undo us in a few years, if
+the King of France goes on to fit up his Navy, and encrease it and his
+trade, as he hath begun.  At night to supper, and after supper, and W.
+Batelier gone, my wife begun another book I lately bought, called "The
+State of England," which promises well, and is worth reading, and so after
+a while to bed.
+
+31st (Lord's day).  Lay long talking with pleasure, and so up and I to
+church, and there did hear the Doctor that is lately turned Divine, I have
+forgot his name, I met him a while since at Sir D. Gawden's at dinner, Dr.
+Waterhouse!  He preaches in a devout manner of way, not elegant nor very
+persuasive, but seems to mean well, and that he would preach holily; and
+was mighty passionate against people that make a scoff of religion.  And,
+the truth is, I did observe Mrs. Hollworthy smile often, and many others
+of the parish, who, I perceive, have known him, and were in mighty
+expectation of hearing him preach, but could not forbear smiling, and she
+particularly upon me, and I on her.  So home to dinner: and before dinner
+to my Office, to set down my journal for this week, and then home to
+dinner; and after dinner to get my wife and boy, one after another, to
+read to me: and so spent the afternoon and the evening, and so after
+supper to bed.  And thus endeth this month, with many different days of
+sadness and mirth, from differences between me and my wife, from her
+remembrance of my late unkindness to her with Willet, she not being able
+to forget it, but now and then hath her passionate remembrance of it as
+often as prompted to it by any occasion; but this night we are at present
+very kind.  And so ends this month.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+The Project Gutenberg Etext of Diary of Samuel Pepys, January 1668/69
+********This file should be named sp81g10.txt or sp81g10.zip*********

+This etext was produced by David Widger  <widger@cecomet.net>
+
+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!
+
+As of November, 2001, contributions are being solicited from people

+As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list
+will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states.
+Please feel free to ask to check the status of your state.

+you would like to know if we have added it since the list you have,
+just ask.
+
+While we cannot solicit donations from people in states where we are
+not yet registered, we know of no prohibition against accepting
+donations from donors in these states who approach us with an offer to
+donate.

+International donations are accepted, but we don't know ANYTHING about
+how to make them tax-deductible, or even if they CAN be made

+**The Legal Small Print**
+
+
+(Three Pages)
+
+***START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN ETEXTS**START***
+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.
+
+*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
+this "Small Print!" statement. If you do not, you can receive
+a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this etext by
+sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person
+you got it from. If you received this etext on a physical
+medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.
+
+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,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
+OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
+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
+LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
+may have other legal rights.
+
+INDEMNITY
+You will indemnify and hold Michael Hart, the Foundation,
+and its trustees and agents, and any volunteers associated
+with the production and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
+texts harmless, from all liability, cost and expense, including
+legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the
+following that you do or cause:  [1] distribution of this etext,
+[2] alteration, modification, or addition to the etext,
+or [3] any Defect.
+
+DISTRIBUTION UNDER "PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm"
+You may distribute copies of this etext electronically, or by
+disk, book or any other medium if you either delete this
+"Small Print!" and all other references to Project Gutenberg,
+or:
+
+[1]  Only give exact copies of it.  Among other things, this
+     requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the
+     etext or this "small print!" statement.  You may however,
+     if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable
+     binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
+     including any form resulting from conversion by word
+     processing or hypertext software, but only so long as

+
+     [*]  The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable, and
+          does *not* contain characters other than those
+          intended by the author of the work, although tilde
+          (~), asterisk (*) and underline (_) characters may
+          be used to convey punctuation intended by the
+          author, and additional characters may be used to
+          indicate hypertext links; OR
+
+     [*]  The etext may be readily converted by the reader at
+          no expense into plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent
+          form by the program that displays the etext (as is
+          the case, for instance, with most word processors);
+          OR
+
+     [*]  You provide, or agree to also provide on request at

+
+
+January 1st.  Up, and presented from Captain Beckford with a noble silver
+warming-pan, which I am doubtful whether to take or no.  Up, and with W.
+Hewer to the New Exchange, and then he and I to the cabinet-shops, to
+look out, and did agree, for a cabinet to give my wife for a New-year's
+gift; and I did buy one cost me L11, which is very pretty, of walnutt-
+tree, and will come home to-morrow.  So back to the old Exchange, and
+there met my uncle Wight; and there walked, and met with the Houblons,
+and talked with them--gentlemen whom I honour mightily: and so to my
+uncle's, and met my wife; and there, with W. Hewer, we dined with our
+family, and had a very good dinner, and pretty merry and after dinner,
+my wife and I with our coach to the King's playhouse, and there in a box
+saw "The Mayden Queene."  Knepp looked upon us, but I durst not shew her
+any countenance; and, as well as I could carry myself, I found my wife
+uneasy there, poor wretch!  therefore, I shall avoid that house as much
+as I can.  So back to my aunt's, and there supped and talked, and staid
+pretty late, it being dry and moonshine, and so walked home, and to bed
+in very good humour.
+
+
+
+2nd.  Up, at the office all the morning, and at noon home to dinner,
+where I find my cabinet come home, and paid for it, and it pleases me and
+my wife well.  So after dinner busy late at the office, and so home and
+to bed.
+
+
+
+3rd (Lord's day).  Up, and busy all the morning, getting rooms and dinner
+ready for my guests, which were my uncle and aunt Wight, and two of their
+cousins, and an old woman, and Mr. Mills and his wife; and a good dinner,
+and all our plate out, and mighty fine and merry, only I a little vexed
+at burning a new table-cloth myself, with one of my trencher-salts.
+Dinner done, I out with W. Hewer and Mr. Spong, who by accident come to
+dine with me, and good talk with him: to White Hall by coach, and there
+left him, and I with my Lord Brouncker to attend the Duke of York, and
+then up and down the House till the evening, hearing how the King do
+intend this frosty weather, it being this day the first, and very hard
+frost, that hath come this year, and very cold it is.  So home; and to
+supper and read; and there my wife and I treating about coming to an
+allowance to my wife for clothes; and there I, out of my natural
+backwardness, did hang off, which vexed her, and did occasion some
+discontented talk in bed, when we went to bed; and also in the morning,
+but I did recover all in the morning.
+
+
+
+4th.  Lay long, talking with my wife, and did of my own accord come to an
+allowance of her of L30 a-year for all expences, clothes and everything,
+which she was mightily pleased with, it being more than ever she asked or
+expected, and so rose, with much content, and up with W. Hewer to White
+Hall, there to speak with Mr. Wren, which I did about several things of
+the office entered in my memorandum books, and so about noon, going
+homeward with W. Hewer, he and I went in and saw the great tall woman
+that is to be seen, who is but twenty-one years old, and I do easily
+stand under her arms.  Then, going further, The. Turner called me, out of
+her coach where her mother, &c., was, and invited me by all means to dine
+with them, at my cozen Roger's mistress's, the widow Dickenson!  So, I
+went to them afterwards, and dined with them, and mighty handsomely
+treated, and she a wonderful merry, good-humoured, fat, but plain woman,
+but I believe a very good woman, and mighty civil to me.  Mrs. Turner,
+the mother, and Mrs. Dyke, and The., and Betty was the company, and a
+gentleman of their acquaintance.  Betty I did long to see, and she is
+indifferent pretty, but not what the world did speak of her; but I am
+mighty glad to have one so pretty of our kindred.  After dinner, I walked
+with them, to shew them the great woman, which they admire, as well they
+may; and so back with them, and left them; and I to White Hall, where a
+Committee of Tangier met, but little to do there, but I did receive an
+instance of the Duke of York's kindness to me, and the whole Committee,
+that they would not order any thing about the Treasurer for the
+Corporation now in establishing, without my assent, and considering
+whether it would be to my wrong or no.  Thence up and down the house,
+and to the Duke of York's side, and there in the Duchess's presence;
+and was mightily complimented by my Lady Peterborough, in my Lord
+Sandwich's presence, whom she engaged to thank me for my kindness to her
+and her Lord.  .  .  .  By and by I met my Lord Brouncker; and he and
+I to the Duke of York alone, and discoursed over the carriage of the
+present Treasurers, in opposition to, or at least independency of, the
+Duke of York, or our Board, which the Duke of York is sensible of, and
+all remember, I believe; for they do carry themselves very respectlessly
+of him and us.  We also declared our minds together to the Duke of York
+about Sir John Minnes's incapacity to do any service in the Office, and
+that it is but to betray the King to have any business of trust committed
+to his weakness.  So the Duke of York was very sensible of it and
+promised to speak to the King about it.  That done, I with W. Hewer took
+up my wife at Unthank's, and so home, and there with pleasure to read and
+talk, and so to supper, and put into writing, in merry terms, our
+agreement between my wife and me, about L30 a-year, and so to bed.  This
+was done under both our hands merrily, and put into W. Hewer's to keep.
+
+
+
+5th.  Up, and to the office all the morning, the frost and cold
+continuing.  At noon home with my people to dinner; and so to work at the
+office again; in the evening comes Creed to me, and tells me his wife is
+at my house.  So I in, and spent an hour with them, the first time she
+hath been here, or I have seen her, since she was married.  She is not
+overhandsome, though a good lady, and one I love.  So after some pleasant
+discourse, they gone, I to the Office again, and there late, and then
+home to supper to my wife, who is not very well of those, and so sat
+talking till past one in the morning, and then to bed.
+
+
+
+6th (Twelfth day).  Up, and to look after things against dinner to-day
+for my guests, and then to the Office to write down my journall for five
+or six days backward, and so home to look after dinner, it being now
+almost noon.  At noon comes Mrs. Turner and Dyke, and Mrs. Dickenson,
+and then comes The. and Betty Turner, the latter of which is a very
+pretty girl; and then Creed and his wife, whom I sent for, by my coach.
+These were my guests, and Mrs. Turner's friend, whom I saw the other day,
+Mr. Wicken, and very merry we were at dinner, and so all the afternoon,
+talking, and looking up and down my house; and in the evening I did bring
+out my cake--a noble cake, and there cut it into pieces, with wine and
+good drink: and after a new fashion, to prevent spoiling the cake, did
+put so many titles into a hat, and so drew cuts; and I was the Queene;
+and The. Turner, King--Creed, Sir Martin Marr-all; and Betty, Mrs.
+Millicent: and so we were mighty merry till it was night; and then, being
+moonshine and fine frost, they went home, I lending some of them my coach
+to help to carry them, and so my wife and I spent the rest of the evening
+in talk and reading, and so with great pleasure to bed.
+
+
+
+7th.  Up, and to the office, where busy all the morning, and then at.
+noon home to dinner, and thence my wife and I to the King's playhouse,
+and there saw "The Island Princesse," the first time I ever saw it; and
+it is a pretty good play, many good things being in it, and a good scene
+of a town on fire.  We sat in an upper box, and the jade Nell come and
+sat in the next box; a bold merry slut, who lay laughing there upon
+people; and with a comrade of hers of the Duke's house, that come in to
+see the play.  Thence home and to the office to do some business, and so
+home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+8th.  Up, and with Colonel Middleton, in his coach, and Mr. Tippets to
+White Hall; and there attended the Duke of York with the rest, where the
+Duke was mighty plain with the Treasurers, according to the advice my
+Lord Brouncker and I did give him the other night, and he did it fully;
+and so as, I believe, will make the Treasurers carefull of themselves,
+unless they do resolve upon defying the Duke of York.  Thence with
+W. Hewer home, and to dinner, and so out again, my wife and I and Mr.
+Hater to White Hall, where she set us down, and she up and down to buy
+things, while we at the Treasury-Chamber, where I alone did manage the
+business of "The Leopard" against the whole Committee of the East India
+Company,  with Mr. Blackburne with them; and to the silencing of them
+all, to my no great content.  Thence walked to my wife, and so set out
+for home in our coach, it being very cold weather, and so to the office
+to do a little business, and then home to my wife's chamber, my people
+having laid the cloth, and got the rooms all clean above-stairs to-night
+for our dinner to-morrow, and therefore I to bed.
+
+
+
+9th.  Up, and at the office all the morning, and at noon, my Lord
+Brouncker, Mr. Wren, Joseph Williamson, and Captain Cocke, dined with me;
+and, being newly sat down, comes in, by invitation of Williamson's, the
+Lieutenant of the Tower, and he brings in with him young Mr. Whore, whose
+father, of the Tower, I know.--And here I had a neat dinner, and all in
+so good manner and fashion, and with so good company, and everything to
+my mind, as I never had more in my life--the company being to my heart's
+content, and they all well pleased.  So continued, looking over my books
+and closet till the evening, and so I to the Office and did a good deal
+of business, and so home to supper and to bed with my mind mightily
+pleased with this day's management, as one of the days of my life of
+fullest content.
+
+
+
+10th (Lord's day).  Accidentally talking of our maids before we rose,
+I said a little word that did give occasion to my wife to fall out; and
+she did most vexatiously, almost all the morning, but ended most perfect
+good friends; but the thoughts of the unquiet which her ripping up of old
+faults will give me, did make me melancholy all day long.  So about noon,
+past 12, we rose, and to dinner, and then to read and talk, my wife and I
+alone, for Balty was gone, who come to dine with us, and then in the
+evening comes Pelting to sit and talk with us, and so to supper and
+pretty merry discourse, only my mind a little vexed at the morning's
+work, but yet without any appearance.  So after supper to bed.
+
+
+
+11th.  Up, and with W. Hewer, my guard, to White Hall, where no Committee
+of Tangier met, so up and down the House talking with this and that man,
+and so home, calling at the New Exchange for a book or two to send to Mr.
+Shepley and thence home, and thence to the 'Change, and there did a
+little business, and so walked home to dinner, and then abroad with my
+wife to the King's playhouse, and there saw "The Joviall Crew," but ill
+acted to what it was heretofore, in Clun's time, and when Lacy could
+dance.  Thence to the New Exchange, to buy some things; and, among
+others, my wife did give me my pair of gloves, which, by contract, she is
+to give me in her L30 a-year.  Here Mrs. Smith tells us of the great
+murder thereabouts, on Saturday last, of one Captain Bumbridge, by one
+Symons, both of her acquaintance; and hectors that were at play, and in
+drink: the former is killed, and is kinsman to my Lord of Ormond, which
+made him speak of it with so much passion, as I overheard him this
+morning, but could not make anything of it till now, but would they would
+kill more of them.  So home; and there at home all the evening; and made
+Tom to prick down some little conceits and notions of mine, in musique,
+which do mightily encourage me to spend some more thoughts about it; for
+I fancy, upon good reason, that I am in the right way of unfolding the
+mystery of this matter, better than ever yet.
+
+
+
+12th.  Up, and to the Office, where, by occasion of a message from the
+Treasurers that their Board found fault with Commissioner Middleton, I
+went up from our Board to the Lords of the Treasury to meet our
+Treasurers, and did, and there did dispute the business, it being about
+the matter of paying a little money to Chatham Yard, wherein I find the
+Treasurers mighty supple, and I believe we shall bring them to reason,
+though they begun mighty upon us, as if we had no power of directing
+them, but they, us.  Thence back presently home, to dinner, where I
+discern my wife to have been in pain about where I have been, but said
+nothing to me, but I believe did send W. Hewer to seek me, but I take no
+notice of it, but am vexed.  So to dinner with my people, and then to the
+Office, where all the afternoon, and did much business, and at it late,
+and so home to supper, and to bed.  This day, meeting Mr. Pierce at White
+Hall, he tells me that his boy hath a great mind to see me, and is going
+to school again; and Dr. Clerke, being by, do tell me that he is a fine
+boy; but I durst not answer anything, because I durst not invite him to
+my house, for fear of my wife; and therefore, to my great trouble, was
+forced to neglect that discourse.  But here Mr. Pierce, I asking him
+whither he was going, told me as a great secret that he was going to his
+master's mistress, Mrs. Churchill, with some physic; meaning for the pox
+I suppose, or else that she is got with child.  This evening I observed
+my wife mighty dull, and I myself was not mighty fond, because of some
+hard words she did give me at noon, out of a jealousy at my being abroad
+this morning, which, God knows, it was upon the business of the Office
+unexpectedly: but I to bed, not thinking but she would come after me.
+But waking by and by out of a slumber, which I usually fall into
+presently after my coming into the bed, I found she did not prepare to
+come to bed, but got fresh candles, and more wood for her fire, it being
+mighty cold, too.  At this being troubled, I after a while prayed her to
+come to bed, all my people being gone to bed; so, after an hour or two,
+she silent, and I now and then praying her to come to bed, she fell out
+into a fury, that I was a rogue, and false to her.  But yet I did
+perceive that she was to seek what to say, only she invented, I believe,
+a business that I was seen in a hackney coach with the glasses up with
+Deb., but could not tell the time, nor was sure I was he.  I did, as I
+might truly, deny it, and was mightily troubled, but all would not serve.
+At last, about one o'clock, she come to my side of the bed, and drew my
+curtaine open, and with the tongs red hot at the ends, made as if she did
+design to pinch me with them, at which, in dismay, I rose up, and with a
+few words she laid them down; and did by little and, little, very
+sillily, let all the discourse fall; and about two, but with much seeming
+difficulty, come to bed, and there lay well all night, and long in bed
+talking together, with much pleasure, it being, I know, nothing but her
+doubt of my going out yesterday, without telling her of my going, which
+did vex her, poor wretch! last night, and I cannot blame her jealousy,
+though it do vex me to the heart.
+
+
+
+13th.  So up and by coach to Sir W. Coventry's, but he gone out, so I to
+White Hall, and thence walked out into the Park, all in the snow, with
+the Duke of York and the rest, and so home, after visiting my Lady
+Peterborough, and there by invitation find Mr. Povy, and there was also
+Talbot Pepys, newly come from Impington, and dined with me; and after
+dinner and a little talk with Povy about publick matters, he gone, and I
+and my wife and Talbot towards the Temple, and there to the King's
+playhouse, and there saw, I think, "The Maiden Queene," and so home and
+to supper and read, and to bed.  This day come home the instrument I have
+so long longed for, the Parallelogram.
+
+
+
+14th.  Up and to the office, where all the morning busy, and so home to
+dinner, where Goodgroome with us, and after dinner a song, and then to
+the office, where busy till night, and then home to work there with W.
+Hewer to get ready some Tangier papers against to-morrow, and so to
+supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+15th.  Up, and by coach to Sir W. Coventry, where with him a good while
+in his chamber, talking of one thing or another; among others, he told me
+of the great factions at Court at this day, even to the sober engaging of
+great persons, and differences, and making the King cheap and ridiculous.
+It is about my Lady Harvy's being offended at Doll Common's acting of
+Sempronia, to imitate her; for which she got my Lord Chamberlain, her
+kinsman, to imprison Doll: when my Lady Castlemayne made the King to
+release her, and to order her to act it again, worse than ever, the other
+day, where the King himself was: and since it was acted again, and my
+Lady Harvy provided people to hiss her and fling oranges at her: but,
+it seems the heat is come to a great height, and real troubles at Court
+about it.  Thence he and I out of doors, but he to Sir J. Duncomb, and
+I to White Hall through the Park, where I met the King and the Duke of
+York, and so walked with them, and so to White Hall, where the Duke of
+York met the office and did a little business; and I did give him thanks
+for his favour to me yesterday, at the Committee of Tangier, in my
+absence, Mr. Povy having given me advice of it, of the discourse there of
+doing something as to the putting the payment of the garrison into some
+undertaker's hand, Alderman Backewell, which the Duke of York would not
+suffer to go on, without my presence at the debate.  And he answered me
+just thus: that he ought to have a care of him that do the King's
+business in the manner that I do, and words of more force than that.
+Then down with Lord Brouncker to Sir R. Murray, into the King's little
+elaboratory, under his closet, a pretty place; and there saw a great many
+chymical glasses and things, but understood none of them.  So I home and
+to dinner, and then out again and stop with my wife at my cozen Turner's
+where I staid and sat a while, and carried The. and my wife to the Duke
+of York's house, to "Macbeth," and myself to White Hall, to the Lords of
+the Treasury, about Tangier business; and there was by at much merry
+discourse between them and my Lord Anglesey, who  made sport of our new
+Treasurers, and called them his deputys, and much of that kind.  And
+having done my own business, I away back, and carried my cozen Turner and
+sister Dyke to a friend's house, where they were to sup, in Lincoln's Inn
+Fields; and I to the Duke of York's house and saw the last two acts, and
+so carried The. thither, and so home with my wife, who read to me late,
+and so to supper and to bed.  This day The. Turner shewed me at the play
+my Lady Portman, who has grown out of my knowledge.
+
+
+
+16th.  Up, and to the office all the morning, dined at home with my
+people, and so all the afternoon till night at the office busy, and so
+home to supper and to bed.  This morning Creed, and in the afternoon
+comes Povy, to advise with me about my answer to the Lords
+[Commissioners] of Tangier, about the propositions for the Treasurership
+there, which I am not much concerned for.  But the latter, talking of
+publick things, told me, as Mr. Wren also did, that the Parliament is
+likely to meets again, the King being frighted with what the Speaker hath
+put him in mind of--his promise not to prorogue, but only to adjourne
+them.  They speak mighty freely of the folly of the King in this foolish
+woman's business, of my Lady Harvy.  Povy tells me that Sir W. Coventry
+was with the King alone, an hour this day; and that my Lady Castlemayne
+is now in a higher command over the King than ever--not as a mistress,
+for she scorns him, but as a tyrant, to command him: and says that the
+Duchess of York and the Duke of York are mighty great with her, which is
+a great interest to my Lord Chancellor's' family; and that they do agree
+to hinder all they can the proceedings of the Duke of Buckingham and
+Arlington: and so we are in the old mad condition, or rather worse than
+any; no man knowing what the French intend to do the next summer.
+
+
+
+17th (Lord's day).  To church myself after seeing every thing fitted for
+dinner, and so, after church, home, and thither comes Mrs. Batelier and
+her two daughters to dinner to us; and W. Hewer and his mother, and Mr.
+Spong.  We were very civilly merry, and Mrs. Batelier a very discreet
+woman, but mighty fond in the stories she tells of her son Will.  After
+dinner, Mr. Spong and I to my closet, there to try my instrument
+Parallelogram, which do mighty well, to my full content; but only a
+little stiff, as being new.  Thence, taking leave of my guests, he and I
+and W. Hewer to White Hall, and there parting with Spong, a man that I
+mightily love for his plainness and ingenuity, I into the Court, and
+there up and down and spoke with my Lords Bellassis and Peterborough
+about the business now in dispute, about my deputing a Treasurer to pay
+the garrison at Tangier, which I would avoid, and not be accountable, and
+they will serve me therein.  Here I met Hugh May, and he brings me to the
+knowledge of Sir Henry Capell, a Member of Parliament, and brother of my
+Lord of Essex, who hath a great value, it seems, for me; and they appoint
+a day to come and dine with me, and see my books, and papers of the
+Office, which I shall be glad to shew them, and have opportunity to
+satisfy them therein.  Here all the discourse is, that now the King
+is of opinion to have the Parliament called, notwithstanding his late
+resolutions for proroguing them; so unstable are his councils, and those
+about him.  So staying late talking in the Queen's side, I away, with
+W. Hewer home, and there to read and talk with my wife, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+18th.  Up by candlelight, and with W. Hewer walked to the Temple, and
+thence took coach and to Sir William Coventry's, and there discoursed the
+business of my Treasurer's place, at Tangier, wherein he consents to my
+desire, and concurs therein, which I am glad of, that I may not be
+accountable for a man so far off.  And so I to my Lord Sandwich's, and
+there walk with him through the garden, to White Hall, where he tells me
+what he had done about this Treasurer's place, and I perceive the whole
+thing did proceed from him: that finding it would be best to have the
+Governor have nothing to do with the pay of the garrison, he did propose
+to the Duke of York alone that a pay-master should be there; and that
+being desirous to do a courtesy to Sir Charles Harbord, and to prevent
+the Duke of York's looking out for any body else, he did name him to the
+Duke of York.  That when he come the other day to move this to the Board
+of Tangier, the Duke of York, it seems, did readily reply, that it was
+fit to have Mr. Pepys satisfied therein first, and that it was not good
+to make places for persons.  This my Lord in great confidence tells me,
+that he do take very ill from the Duke of York, though nobody knew the
+meaning of these words but him; and that he did take no notice of them,
+but bit his lip, being satisfied that the Duke of York's care of me was
+as desirable to him, as it could be to have Sir Charles Harbord: and did
+seem industrious to let me see that he was glad that the Duke of York and
+he might come to contend who shall be the kindest to me, which I owned as
+his great love, and so I hope and believe it is, though my Lord did go a
+little too far in this business, to move it so far, without consulting
+me.  But I took no notice of that, but was glad to see this competition
+come about, that my Lord Sandwich is apparently jealous of my thinking
+that the Duke of York do mean me more kindness than him.  So we walked
+together, and I took this occasion to invite him to dinner one day to my
+house, and he readily appointed Friday next, which I shall be glad to
+have over to his content, he having never yet eat a bit of my bread.
+Thence to the Duke of York on the King's side, with our Treasurers of the
+Navy, to discourse some business of the Navy, about the pay of the yards,
+and there I was taken notice of, many Lords being there in the room,
+of the Duke of York's conference with me; and so away, and meeting Mr.
+Sidney Montagu and Sheres, a small invitation served their turn to carry
+them to London, where I paid Sheres his L100, given him for his pains in
+drawing the plate of Tangier fortifications, &c., and so home to my house
+to dinner, where I had a pretty handsome sudden dinner, and all well
+pleased; and thence we three and my wife to the Duke of York's playhouse,
+and there saw "The Witts," a medley of things, but some similes mighty
+good, though ill mixed; and thence with my wife to the Exchange and
+bought some things, and so home, after I had been at White Hall, and
+there in the Queen's withdrawing-room invited my Lord Peterborough to
+dine with me, with my Lord Sandwich, who readily accepted it.  Thence
+back and took up my wife at the 'Change, and so home.  This day at noon
+I went with my young gentlemen (thereby to get a little time while
+W. Hewer went home to bid them get a dinner ready) to the Pope's Head
+tavern, there to see the fine painted room which Rogerson told me of,
+of his doing; but I do not like it at all, though it be good for such a
+publick room.
+
+
+
+19th.  Up, and at the office all the morning.  At noon eat a mouthful,
+and so with my wife to Madam Turner's, and find her gone, but The. staid
+for us; and so to the King's house, to see "Horace;" this the third day
+of its acting--a silly tragedy; but Lacy hath made a farce of several
+dances--between each act, one: but his words are but silly, and invention
+not extraordinary, as to the dances; only some Dutchmen come out of the
+mouth and tail of a Hamburgh sow.  Thence, not much pleased with the
+play, set them at home in the Strand; and my wife and I home, and there
+to do a little business at the Office, and so home to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+20th.  Up; and my wife, and I, and W. Hewer to White Hall, where she set
+us down; and there I spoke with my Lord Peterborough, to tell him of the
+day for his dining with me being altered by my Lord Sandwich from Friday
+to Saturday next.  And thence heard at the Council-board the City,
+by their single counsel Symson, and the company of Strangers Merchants,
+a debate the business of water-baylage; a tax demanded upon all goods,
+by the City, imported and exported: which these Merchants oppose, and
+demanding leave to try the justice of the City's demand by a Quo
+Warranto, which the City opposed, the Merchants did quite lay the City on
+their backs with great triumph, the City's cause being apparently too
+weak: but here I observed Mr. Gold, the merchant, to speak very well,
+and very sharply, against the City.  Thence to my wife at Unthanke's,
+and with her and W. Hewer to Hercules Pillars, calling to do two or three
+things by the way, end there dined, and thence to the Duke of York's
+house, and saw "Twelfth Night," as it is now revived; but, I think, one
+of the weakest plays that ever I saw on the stage.  This afternoon,
+before the play, I called with my wife at Dancre's, the great landscape-
+painter, by Mr. Povy's advice; and have bespoke him to come to take
+measure of my dining-room panels, and there I met with the pretty
+daughter of the coalseller's, that lived in Cheapside, and now in Covent
+Garden, who hath her picture drawn here, but very poorly; but she is a
+pretty woman, and now, I perceive, married, a very pretty black woman.
+So, the play done, we home, my wife letting fall some words of her
+observing my eyes to be mightily employed in the playhouse, meaning upon
+women, which did vex me; but, however, when we come home, we were good
+friends; and so to read, and to supper, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+21st. Up, and walked to the Temple, it being frosty, and there took
+coach, my boy Tom with me, and so to White Hall to a Committee of
+Tangier, where they met, and by and by and till twelve at noon upon
+business, among others mine, where my desire about being eased of
+appointing and standing accountable for a Treasurer there was well
+accepted, and they will think of some other way.  This I was glad of,
+finding reason to doubt that I might in this (since my Lord Sandwich made
+me understand what he had said to the Duke of York herein) fear to offend
+either the Duke of York by denying it, for he seemed on Sunday night
+last, when I first made known my desire to him herein to be a little
+amused at it, though I knew not then the reason, or else offend my Lord
+Sandwich by accepting it, or denying it in a manner that might not
+forward his desire for Sir Charles Harbord, but I thank God I did it to
+my great content without any offence, I think, to either.  Thence in my
+own coach home, where I find Madam Turner, Dyke, and The.; and had a good
+dinner for them, and merry; and so carried them to the Duke of York's
+house, all but Dyke, who went away on other business; and there saw
+"The Tempest;" but it is but ill done by Gosnell, in lieu of Moll Davis.
+Thence set them at home, and my wife and I to the 'Change, and so home,
+where my wife mighty dogged, and I vexed to see it, being mightily
+troubled, of late, at her being out of humour, for fear of her
+discovering any new matter of offence against me, though I am conscious
+of none; but do hate to be unquiet at home.  So, late up, silent, and not
+supping, but hearing her utter some words of discontent to me with
+silence, and so to bed, weeping to myself for grief, which she
+discerning, come to bed, and mighty kind, and so with great joy on
+both sides to sleep.
+
+
+
+22nd.  Up, and with W. Hewer to White Hall, and there attended the Duke
+of York, and thence to the Exchange, in the way calling at several places
+on occasions relating to my feast to-morrow, on which my mind is now set;
+as how to get a new looking-glass for my dining-room, and some pewter,
+and good wine, against to-morrow; and so home, where I had the looking-
+glass set up, cost me L6  7s. 6d.  And here at the 'Change I met with Mr.
+Dancre, the famous landscape painter, with whom I was on Wednesday;
+and he took measure of my panels in my dining-room, where, in the four,
+I intend to have the four houses of the King, White Hall, Hampton Court,
+Greenwich, and Windsor.  He gone, I to dinner with my people, and so to
+my office to dispatch a little business, and then home to look after
+things against to-morrow, and among other things was mightily pleased
+with the fellow that come to lay the cloth, and fold the napkins, which I
+like so well, as that I am resolved to give him 40s. to teach my wife to
+do it.  So to supper, with much kindness between me and my wife, which,
+now-a-days, is all my care, and so to bed.
+
+
+
+23rd.  Up, and again to look after the setting things right against
+dinner, which I did to very good content.  So to the office, where all
+the morning till noon, when word brought me to the Board that my Lord
+Sandwich was come; so I presently rose, leaving the Board ready to rise,
+and there I found my Lord Sandwich, Peterborough, and Sir Charles
+Harbord; and presently after them comes my Lord Hinchingbroke,
+Mr. Sidney, and Sir William Godolphin.  And after greeting them,
+and some time spent in talk, dinner was brought up, one dish after
+another, but a dish at a time, but all so good; but, above all things,
+the variety of wines, and excellent of their kind, I had for them, and
+all in so good order, that they were mightily pleased, and myself full
+of content at it: and indeed it was, of a dinner of about six or eight
+dishes, as noble as any man need to have, I think; at least, all was done
+in the noblest manner that ever I had any, and I have rarely seen in my
+life better anywhere else, even at the Court.  After dinner, my Lords to
+cards, and the rest of us sitting about them and talking, and looking on
+my books and pictures, and my wife's drawings, which they commend
+mightily; and mighty merry all day long, with exceeding great content,
+and so till seven at night; and so took their leaves, it being dark and
+foul weather.  Thus was this entertainment over, the best of its kind,
+and the fullest of honour and content to me, that ever I had in my life:
+and shall not easily have so good again.  The truth is, I have some fear
+that I am more behind-hand in the world for these last two years, since I
+have not, or for some time could not, look after my accounts, which do a
+little allay my pleasure.  But I do trust in God I am pretty well yet,
+and resolve, in a very little time, to look into my accounts, and see how
+they stand.  So to my wife's chamber, and there supped, and got her cut
+my hair and look my shirt, for I have itched mightily these 6 or 7 days,
+and when all comes to all she finds that I am lousy, having found in my
+head and body about twenty lice, little and great, which I wonder at,
+being more than I have had I believe these 20 years.  I did think I might
+have got them from the little boy, but they did presently look him, and
+found none.  So how they come I know not, but presently did shift myself,
+and so shall be rid of them, and cut my hair close to my head, and so
+with much content to bed.
+
+
+
+24th (Lord's day).  An order brought me in bed, for the Principal
+Officers to attend the King at my Lord Keeper's this afternoon, it being
+resolved late the last night; and, by the warrant, I find my Lord Keeper
+did not then know the cause of it, the messenger being ordered to call
+upon him, to tell it him by the way, as he come to us.  So I up, and to
+my Office to set down my Journall for yesterday, and so home, and with my
+wife to Church, and then home, and to dinner, and after dinner out with
+my wife by coach, to cozen Turner's, where she and The. gone to church,
+but I left my wife with Mrs. Dyke and Joyce Norton, whom I have not seen
+till now since their coming to town: she is become an old woman, and with
+as cunning a look as ever, and thence I to White Hall, and there walked
+up and down till the King and Duke of York were ready to go forth; and
+here I met Will. Batelier, newly come post from France, his boots all
+dirty.  He brought letters to the King, and I glad to see him, it having
+been reported that he was drowned, for some days past, and then, he being
+gone, I to talk with Tom Killigrew, who told me and others, talking about
+the playhouse, that he is fain to keep a woman on purpose at 20s. a week
+to satisfy 8 or 10 of the young men of his house, whom till he did so he
+could never keep to their business, and now he do.  By and by the King
+comes out, and so I took coach, and followed his coaches to my Lord
+Keeper's, at Essex House, where I never was before, since I saw my old
+Lord Essex lie in state when he was dead; a large, but ugly house.  Here
+all the Officers of the Navy attended, and by and by were called in to
+the King and Cabinet, where my Lord, who was ill, did lie upon the bed,
+as my old Lord Treasurer, or Chancellor, heretofore used to; and the
+business was to know in what time all the King's ships might be repaired,
+fit for service.  The Surveyor answered, in two years, and not sooner.
+I did give them hopes that, with supplies of money suitable, we might
+have them all fit for sea some part of the summer after this.  Then they
+demanded in what time we could set out forty ships.  It was answered,
+as they might be chosen of the newest and most ready, we could, with
+money, get forty ready against May.  The King seemed mighty full that we
+should have money to do all that we desired, and satisfied that, without
+it, nothing could be done: and so, without determining any thing, we were
+dismissed; and I doubt all will end in some little fleete this year, and
+those of hired merchant-men, which would indeed be cheaper to the King,
+and have many conveniences attending it, more than to fit out the King's
+own; and this, I perceive, is designed, springing from Sir W. Coventry's
+counsel; and the King and most of the Lords, I perceive, full of it,
+to get the King's fleete all at once in condition for service.  Thence
+I with Mr. Wren in his coach to my cozen Turner's for discourse sake,
+and in our way he told me how the business of the Parliament is wholly
+laid aside, it being overruled now, that they shall not meet, but must be
+prorogued, upon this argument chiefly, that all the differences between
+the two Houses, and things on foot, that were matters of difference and
+discontent, may be laid aside, and must begin again, if ever the House
+shall have a mind to pursue them.  They must begin all anew.  Here he set
+me down, and I to my cozen Turner, and stayed and talked a little; and so
+took my wife, and home, and there to make her read, and then to supper,
+and to bed.  At supper come W. Batelier and supped with us, and told us
+many pretty things of France, and the greatness of the present King.
+
+
+
+25th.  Up, and to the Committee of Tangier, where little done, and thence
+I home by my own coach, and busy after dinner at my office all the
+afternoon till late at night, that my eyes were tired.  So home, and my
+wife shewed me many excellent prints of Nanteuil's and others, which
+W. Batelier hath, at my desire, brought me out of France, of the King,
+and Colbert, and others, most excellent, to my great content.  But he
+hath also brought a great many gloves perfumed, of several sorts; but all
+too big by half for her, and yet she will have two or three dozen of
+them, which vexed me, and made me angry.  So she, at last, to please me,
+did come to take what alone I thought fit, which pleased me.  So, after a
+little supper, to bed, my eyes being very bad.
+
+
+
+26th.  Up, and to the office, where busy sitting all the morning.
+Then to the Office again, and then to White Hall, leaving my wife at
+Unthanke's; and I to the Secretary's chamber, where I was, by particular
+order, this day summoned to attend, as I find Sir D. Gawden also was.
+And here was the King and the Cabinet met; and, being called in, among
+the rest I find my Lord Privy Seale, whom I never before knew to be in so
+much play, as to be of the Cabinet.  The business is, that the Algerines
+have broke the peace with us, by taking some Spaniards and goods out of
+an English ship, which had the Duke of York's pass, of which advice come
+this day; and the King is resolved to stop Sir Thomas Allen's fleete from
+coming home till he hath amends made him for this affront, and therefore
+sent for us to advise about victuals to be sent to that fleete, and some
+more ships; wherein I answered them to what they demanded of me, which
+was but some few mean things; but I see that on all these occasions they
+seem to rely most upon me.  And so, this being done, I took coach and
+took up my wife and straight home, and there late at the office busy, and
+then home, and there I find W. Batelier hath also sent the books which I
+made him bring me out of France.  Among others, L'Estat, de France,
+Marnix, &c., to my great content; and so I was well pleased with them,
+and shall take a time to look them over: as also one or two printed
+musick-books of songs; but my eyes are now too much out of tune to look
+upon them with any pleasure, therefore to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+27th.  Up, and with Sir John Minnes in his coach to White Hall, where
+first we waited on the Lords of the Treasury about finishing the
+Victualling Contract; and there also I was put to it to make good our
+letter complaining against my Lord Anglesey's failing us in the payment
+of the moneys assigned us upon the Customs, where Mr. Fenn was, and I
+know will tell my Lord; but it is no matter, I am over shy already, and
+therefore must not fear.  Then we up to a Committee of the Council for
+the Navy, about a business of Sir D. Gawden's relating to the
+Victualling, and thence I by hackney to the Temple to the Auditor's man,
+and with him to a tavern to meet with another under-auditor to advise
+about the clearing of my Lord Bellasses' accounts without injuring myself
+and perplexing my accounts, and so thence away to my cozen Turner's,
+where I find Roger Pepys come last night to town, and here is his
+mistress, Mrs. Dickenson, and by and by comes in Mr. Turner, a worthy,
+sober, serious man--I honour him mightily.  And there we dined, having
+but an ordinary dinner; and so, after dinner, she, and I, and Roger, and
+his mistress, to the Duke of York's playhouse, and there saw "The Five
+Hours' Adventure," which hath not been acted a good while before, but
+once, and is a most excellent play, I must confess.  My wife and The.
+come after us, after they had been to buy some things abroad, and so
+after the play done we to see them home, and then home ourselves, and my
+wife to read to me, and so to supper and to bed.
+
+
+
+28th.  Up, and to the office, where all the afternoon, also after dinner,
+and there late dispatching much business, and then home to supper with my
+wife, and to get her to read to me, and here I did find that Mr. Sheres
+hath, beyond his promise, not only got me a candlestick made me, after a
+form he remembers to have seen in Spain, for keeping the light from one's
+eyes, but hath got it done in silver very neat, and designs to give it
+me, in thanks for my paying him his L100 in money, for his service at
+Tangier, which was ordered him; but I do intend to force him to make me
+[pay] for it.  But I yet, without his direction, cannot tell how it is to
+be made use of.  So after a little reading to bed.
+
+
+
+29th.  Up, and with W. Hewer in Colonel Middleton's coach to White Hall,
+and there to the Duke of York, to attend him, where among other things I
+did give a severe account of our proceedings, and what we found, in the
+business of Sir W. Jenings's demand of Supernumeraries.  I thought it a
+good occasion to make an example of him, for he is a proud, idle fellow;
+and it did meet with the Duke of York's acceptance and well-liking; and
+he did call him in, after I had done, and did not only give him a soft
+rebuke, but condemns him to pay both their victuals and wages, or right
+himself of the purser.  This I was glad of, and so were all the rest of
+us, though I know I have made myself an immortal enemy by it.  Thence
+home by hackney, calling Roger Pepys at the Temple gate in the
+bookseller's shop, and to the Old Exchange, where I staid a little to
+invite my uncle Wight, and so home, and there find my aunt Wight and her
+husband come presently, and so to dinner; and after dinner Roger, and I,
+and my wife, and aunt, to see Mr. Cole; but he nor his wife was within,
+but we looked upon his picture of Cleopatra, which I went principally to
+see, being so much commended by my wife and aunt; but I find it a base
+copy of a good originall, that vexed me to hear so much commended.
+Thence to see Creed's wife, and did so, and staid a while, where both of
+them within; and here I met Mr. Bland, newly come from Gales [Cadiz]
+after his differences with Norwood.  I think him a foolish, light-headed
+man; but certainly he hath been abused in this matter by Colonel Norwood.
+Here Creed shewed me a copy of some propositions, which Bland and others,
+in the name of the Corporation of Tangier, did present to Norwood, for
+his opinion in, in order to the King's service, which were drawn up very
+humbly, and were really good things; but his answer to them was in the
+most shitten proud, carping, insolent, and ironically-prophane stile,
+that ever I saw in my life, so as I shall never think the place can do
+well, while he is there.  Here, after some talk, and Creed's telling us
+that he is upon taking the next house to his present lodgings, which is
+next to that that my cozen Tom Pepys once lived in, in Newport Street,
+in Covent Garden; and is in a good place, and then, I suppose, he will
+keep his coach.  So, setting Roger down at the Temple, who tells me that
+he is now concluded in all matters with his widow, we home, and there
+hired my wife to make an end of Boyle's Book of Formes, to-night and
+to-morrow; and so fell to read and sup, and then to bed.  This day, Mr.
+Ned Pickering brought his lady to see my wife, in acknowledgment of a
+little present of oranges and olives, which I sent her, for his kindness
+to me in the buying of my horses, which was very civil.  She is old, but
+hath, I believe, been a pretty comely woman:
+
+
+
+30th.  Lay long in bed, it being a fast-day for the murder of the late
+King; and so up and to church, where Dr. Hicks made a dull sermon; and so
+home, and there I find W. Batelier and Balty, and they dined with us, and
+I spent all the afternoon with my wife and W. Batelier talking, and then
+making them read, and particularly made an end of Mr. Boyle's Book of
+Formes, which I am glad to have over, and then fell to read a French
+discourse, which he hath brought over with him for me, to invite the
+people of France to apply themselves to Navigation, which it do very
+well, and is certainly their interest, and what will undo us in a few
+years, if the King of France goes on to fit up his Navy, and encrease it
+and his trade, as he hath begun.  At night to supper, and after supper,
+and W. Batelier gone, my wife begun another book I lately bought, called
+"The State of England," which promises well, and is worth reading, and so
+after a while to bed.
+
+
+
+31st (Lord's day).  Lay long talking with pleasure, and so up and I to
+church, and there did hear the Doctor that is lately turned Divine,
+I have forgot his name, I met him a while since at Sir D. Gawden's at
+dinner, Dr. Waterhouse!  He preaches in a devout manner of way, not
+elegant nor very persuasive, but seems to mean well, and that he would
+preach holily; and was mighty passionate against people that make a scoff
+of religion.  And, the truth is, I did observe Mrs. Hollworthy smile
+often, and many others of the parish, who, I perceive, have known him,
+and were in mighty expectation of hearing him preach, but could not
+forbear smiling, and she particularly upon me, and I on her.  So home to
+dinner: and before dinner to my Office, to set down my journal for this
+week, and then home to dinner; and after dinner to get my wife and boy,
+one after another, to read to me: and so spent the afternoon and the
+evening, and so after supper to bed.  And thus endeth this month, with
+many different days of sadness and mirth, from differences between me and
+my wife, from her remembrance of my late unkindness to her with Willet,
+she not being able to forget it, but now and then hath her passionate
+remembrance of it as often as prompted to it by any occasion; but this
+night we are at present very kind.  And so ends this month.
