the King as much as ever, and hath and doth what she will. No
longer ago than last night, there was a private entertainment
made for the King and Queene at the Duke of Buckingham's, and she
was not invited: but being at my Lady Suffolk's, [Barbara,
second wife of James Earl of Suffolk, eldest daughter of Sir
Edward Villiers, and widow of Sir Richard Wentworth. She died
Dec. 1681, leaving one daughter, Elizabeth, who married Sir
Thomas Felton, Bart.] her aunt's (where my Lady Jemimah and Lord
Sandwich dined,) yesterday, she was heard to say, "Well, much
good may it do them, and for all that I will be as merry as
they:" and so she went home and caused a great supper to be
prepared. And after the King had been with the Queene at
Wallingford House, [Wallingford House stood on the site of the
present Admiralty: it originally belonged to the Knollys family,
and during the Protectorate the office for granting passes to
persons going abroad was kept there.] he come to my Lady
Castlemaine's, and was there all night, and my Lord Sandwich with
him.
