But I perceive every body begins
to doubt the success of the treaty, all their hopes being only
that if it can be had on any terms, the Chancellor will have it;
for he dare not come before a Parliament, nor a great many more
of the courtiers, and the King himself do declare he do not
desire it, nor intend but on a strait; which God defend him from!
Here I hear how the King is not so well pleased of this marriage
between the Duke of Richmond and Mrs. Stewart, as is talked; and
that he by a wile did fetch her to the Beare, at the Bridge-foot,
where a coach was ready, and they are stole away into Kent
without the King's leave; and that the King hath said he will
never see her more: but people do think that it is only a trick.
This day I saw Prince Rupert abroad in the vane-room, pretty well
as he used to be, and looks as well, only something appears to be
under his periwigg on the crown of his head.
4th. I find the Duke of Albemarle at dinner with sorry company,
some of his officers of the Army: dirty dishes and a nasty wife
at table, and had meat, of which I made but an ill dinner.
