with which I doubt he is not satisfied, but my heart is full glad.  Thence with him to Mr. Crew’s, and did fetch as much money as did make even our accounts between him and me.  Home, and there found Mr. Cooke come back from my Lord for me to get him some things bought for him to be brought after them, a toilet cap and comb case of silk, to make use of in Holland, for he goes to the Hague, which I can do to-morrow morning.  This day my father and my uncle Fenner, and both his sons, have been at my house to see it, and my wife did treat them nobly with wine and anchovies.  By reason of my Lord’s going to-day I could not get the office to meet to-day.

4th.  I did many things this morning at home before I went out, as looking over the joiners, who are flooring my diningroom, and doing business with Sir Williams

     ["Both Sir Williams” is a favourite expression with Pepys, meaning
     Sir William Batten and Sir William Penn.]

both at the office, and so to Whitehall, and so to the Bullhead, where we had the remains of our pasty, where I did give my verdict against Mr. Moore upon last Saturday’s wager, where Dr. Fuller coming in do confirm me in my verdict.  From thence to my Lord’s and despatched Mr. Cooke away with the things to my Lord.  From thence to Axe Yard to my house, where standing at the door Mrs. Diana comes by, whom I took into my house upstairs, and there did dally with her a great while, and found that in Latin “Nulla puella negat.”  So home by water, and there sat up late setting my papers in order, and my money also, and teaching my wife her music lesson, in which I take great pleasure.  So to bed.

5th.  To the office.  From thence by coach upon the desire of the principal officers to a Master of Chancery to give Mr. Stowell his oath, whereby he do answer that he did hear Phineas Pett say very high words against the King a great while ago.  Coming back our coach broke, and so Stowell and I to Mr. Rawlinson’s, and after a glass of wine parted, and I to the office, home to dinner, where (having put away my boy in the morning) his father brought him again, but I did so clear up my boy’s roguery to his father, that he could not speak against my putting him away, and so I did give him 10s. for the boy’s clothes that I made him, and so parted and tore his indenture.  All the afternoon with the principal officers at Sir W. Batten’s about Pett’s business (where I first saw Col.  Slingsby, who has now his appointment for Comptroller), but did bring it to no issue.  This day I saw our Dedimus to be sworn in the peace by, which will be shortly.  In the evening my wife being a little impatient I went along with her to buy her a necklace of pearl, which will cost L4 10s., which I am willing to comply with her in for her encouragement, and because I have lately got money, having now above L200 in cash beforehand in the world.  Home, and having in our way bought a rabbit and two little lobsters, my wife and I did sup late, and so to bed.  Great news now-a-day of the Duke d’Anjou’s
