This morning, to
my great content, W. Hewer tells me that a porter is come who
found my tally in Holborn, and brings it him, for which he gives
him 20s.
29th. My wife lately frighted me about her being a Catholique;
and I dare not, therefore, move her to go to church, for fear she
should deny me. But this morning, of her own accord, she spoke
of going to church the next Sunday: which pleases me mightily.
30th. My wife after dinner went the first time abroad in her
coach, calling on Roger Pepys, and visiting Mrs. Creed and my
cosen Turner. Thus ended this month with very good content, but
most expenseful to my purse on things of pleasure, having
furnished my wife's closet, and the best chamber, and a coach and
horses, that ever I knew in the world; and I am put into the
greatest condition of outward state that ever I was in, or hoped
ever to be, or desired: and this at a time when we do daily
expect great changes in this office; and by all reports we must
all of us turn out. But my eyes are come to that condition that
I am not able to work; and therefore that and my wife's desire
make me have no manner of trouble in my thoughts about it.
