Up betimes this morning, and after the barber had done with me, then to the office, where I and Sir William Pen only did meet and despatch business.  At noon my wife and I by coach to Dr. Clerke's to dinner: I was very much taken with his lady, a comely, proper woman, though not handsome; but a woman of the best language I ever heard.  Here dined Mrs. Pierce and her husband.  After dinner I took leave to go to Westminster, where I was at the Privy Seal Office all day, signing things and taking money, so that I could not do as I had intended, that is to return to them and go to the Red Bull Playhouse, but I took coach and went to see whether it was done so or no, and I found it done.  So I returned to Dr. Clerke's, where I found them and my wife, and by and by took leave and went away home.
