23rd. To the Wardrobe, reading of the King's and Chancellor's
late speeches at the proroguing of the Houses of Parliament. And
while I was reading, news was brought me that my Lord Sandwich is
come and gone up to my Lady's chamber; which by and by he did,
and looks very well. He very merry, and hath left the King and
Queene at Portsmouth, and is come up to stay here till next
Wednesday, and then to meet the King and Queene at Hampton Court.
So to dinner; and my Lord mighty merry; among other things,
saying that the Queene is a very agreeable lady, and paints well.
After dinner I showed him my letter from Teddiman about the news
from Argier, which pleases him exceedingly; and he writ one to
the Duke of York about it, and sent it express.
24th. Abroad with Mr. Creed, of whom I informed myself of all I
had a mind to know. Among other things, the great difficulty my
Lord hath been in all this summer for lack of good and full
orders from the King: and I doubt our Lords of the Councell do
not mind things as the late powers did, but their pleasure or
profit more.
