Thus was the mold made; but when it came off there was little
pleasure in it as it looks in the mold, nor any resemblance
whatever there will be in the figure when I come to see it cast
off. To White Hall, where I staid till the Duke of York came
from hunting, which he did by and by, and when dressed did come
out to dinner; and there I waited. And he did mightly magnify
his sauce, which he did then eat with every thing, and said it
was the best universal sauce in the world, it being taught him by
the Spanish Embassador; made of some parsley and a dry toast,
beat in a mortar together with vinegar, salt, and a little
pepper: he eats it with flesh, or fowl, or fish. And then he did
now mightily commend some new sort of wine lately found out,
called Navarr wine; which I tasted, and is, I think, good wine:
but I did like better the notion of the sauce, and by and by did
taste it, and liked it mightily. After dinner I did what I went
for; which was to get his consent that Balty might hold his
Muster-master's place by deputy in his new employment which I
design for him, about the Store-keeper's accounts; which the Duke
of York did grant me, and I was mightily glad of it.
