Coventry,) how it stood, wherein they seemed satisfied, but press

They then proceeded to the enquiry after the fire-ships; and did
all very superficially, and without any severity at all. But,
however, I was in pain, after we come out, to know how I had
done; and here, well enough. But, however, it shall be a caution
to me to prepare myself against a day of inquisition. Being come
out, I met with Mr. Moore, and he and I an hour together in the
Gallery, telling me how far they are gone in getting my Lord
Sandwich's pardon, so as the Chancellor is prepared in it; and
Sir H. Bennet; do promote it, and the warrant for the King's
signing is drawn. The business between my Lord Hinchingbroke and
Mrs. Mallet is quite broke off; he attended her at Tunbridge, and
she declaring her affections to be settled; and he not being
fully pleased with the vanity and liberty of her carriage.
