21st. They told me that this is St. Thomas's, and that by an old
custome, this day the Exchequer men had formerly, and do intend
this night to have a supper; which if I could I promised, to come
to, but did not. To my Lady's, and dined with her: she told me
how dangerously ill the Princesse Royal is: and that this
morning she was said to be dead. But she hears that she hath
married herself to young Jermyn, [Henry Jermyn, Master of the
Horse to the Duke of York.] which is worse than the Duke of
York's marrying the Chancellor's daughter, which is now publicly
owned.
26th. To White Hall by water, and dined with my Lady Sandwich,
who at table did tell me how much fault was laid upon Dr. Frazer
and the rest of the Doctors, for the death of the Princesse. My
Lord, did dine this day with Sir Henry Wright, in order to his
going to sea with the Queen.
31st. In Paul's Church-yard I bought the play of Henry the
Fourth, and so went to the new Theatre and saw it acted; but my
expectation being too great, it did not please me, as otherwise I
believe it would: and my having a book, I believe did spoil it a
little.
