Cooling, did get into the play, the only one we have seen this
winter: it was "The Five Hours' Adventure:" but I sat so far I
could not hear well, nor was there any pretty woman that I did
see but my wife, who sat in my Lady Fox's pew with her. The
house very full; and late before done, so that it was past eleven
before we got home.
17th. The King dining yesterday at the Dutch Embassador's, after
dinner they drank and were pretty merry; and among the rest of
the King's company there was that worthy fellow my Lord of
Rochester, and Tom Killigrew, whose mirth and raillery offended
the former so much, that he did give Tom Killigrew a box on the
ear in the King's presence; which do give much offence to the
people here at Court to see how cheap the King makes himself, and
the more, for that the King hath not only passed by the thing and
pardoned it to Rochester already, but this very morning the King
did publicly walk up and down, and Rochester I saw with him as
free as ever, to the King's everlasting shame to have so idle a
rogue his companion.
