By coach to White Hall with Sir W. Pen.  So to Mr. Montagu, where his man, Mons. Eschar, makes a great complaint against the English, that they did help the Spaniards against the French the other day; and that their Embassador do demand justice of our King, and that he do resolve to be gone for France the next week; which I, and all that I met with, are very glad of.  Thence to Paternoster Row, where my Will did receive the 50l. I borrowed yesterday.  I to the Wardrobe to dinner, and there staid most of the afternoon very merry with the ladies.  Then Captain Ferrers and I to the Theatre, and there came too late, so we staid and saw a bit of "Victoria," which pleased me worse than it did the other day.  So we staid not to see it out, but went out and drank a bottle or two of China ale, and so home, where I found my wife vexed at her people for grumbling to eat Suffolk cheese, which I also am vexed at.  So to bed.
