Tuesday 23 July 1661

Put on my mourning.  Made visits to Sir W. Pen and Batten.  Then to Westminster, and at the Hall staid talking with Mrs. Michell a good while, and in the afternoon, finding myself unfit for business, I went to the Theatre, and saw "Brenoralt," I never saw before.  It seemed a good play, but ill acted; only I sat before Mrs. Palmer, the King's mistress, and filled my eyes with her, which much pleased me.  Then to my father's, where by my desire I met my uncle Thomas, and discoursed of my uncle's will to him, and did satisfy [him] as well as I could.  So to my uncle Wight's, but found him out of doors, but my aunt I saw and staid a while, and so home and to bed.  Troubled to hear how proud and idle Pall is grown, that I am resolved not to keep her.
