Coventry, which I have forgot to set down in my Journal
yesterday. And going out of the chapel I did see the Prince of
Tuscany come out, a comely black fat man, in a mourning-suit; and
my wife and I did see him this afternoon through a window in this
chapel. All that Sir W. Coventry yesterday did tell me new was,
that the King would not yet give him leave to come to kiss his
hand; and he do believe that he will not in a great while do it,
till those about him shall see fit: which I am sorry for.
Thence to the Park, my wife and I: and here Sir W. Coventry did
first see me and my wife in a coach of our own; and so did also
this night the Duke of York, who did eye my wife mightily. But I
begin to doubt that my being so much seen in my own coach at this
time may be observed to my prejudice; but I must venture it now.
So home, and so set down my Journal, with the help of my left eye
through my tube, for fourteen days past; which is so much as I
hope I shall not run in arrear again, but the badness of my eyes
do force me to it.
12th.
