So
I to the Park, and there walk an hour or two; and in the King's
garden, and saw the Queene and ladies walk; and I did steal some
apples off the trees; and here did see my Lady Richmond, who is
of a noble person as ever I did see, but her face worse than it
was considerably by the small-pox: her sister is also very
handsome. So to White Hall in the evening to the Queene's side,
and there met the Duke of York; and he did tell me and Sir W.
Coventry, who was with me, how the Lord Anglesy did take notice
of our reading his long and sharp letter to the Board; but that
it was the better, at least he said so. The Duke of York, I
perceive, is earliest in it, and will have good effects of it;
telling Sir W. Coventry that it was a letter that might have come
from the Commissioners of Accounts, but it was better it should
come first from him. I met Lord Brouncker; who, I perceive, and
the rest, do smell that it comes from me, but dare not find fault
with me; and I am glad of it, it being my glory and defence that
I did occasion and write it.
