But I will have him to my house, and show it my wife,
Here I met with Mr. Moore, who tells me the state of my Lord's
accounts of his embassy, which I find not so good as I thought:
for though it be passed the King and his Caball the (Committee
for Foreign Affairs, as they are called,) yet they have cut off
from 19,000l. full 8000l. and have now sent it to the Lords of
the Treasury, who, though the Committee have allowed the rest,
yet they are not obliged to abide by it. So that I do fear this
account may yet be long ere it be passed,--much more ere that sum
be paid. I am sorry for the family.
9th. To the King's playhouse, and there saw "The Island
Princesse," which I like mighty well as an excellent play: and
here we find Kinaston to be well enough to act again; which he do
very well, after his beating by Sir Charles Sedley's appointment.
10th. To the plaisterer's at Charing Cross that casts heads and
bodies in plaister; and there I had my whole face done; but I was
vexed first to be forced to daub all my face over with pomatum.
