Pen had been with him this morning, to ask whether it would be fit forhim to sit at the Office now, because of his resolution to be gone, and tobecome concerned in the Victualling. The Duke of York answered, "Yes, till his contract was signed:" Thence I to Lord Sandwich's, and there tosee him; but was made to stay so long, as his best friends are, and when Icome to him so little pleasure, his head being full of his own business, Ithink, that I have no pleasure [to] go to him. Thence to White Ha...ll withhim, to the Committee of Tangier; a day appointed for him to give anaccount of Tangier, and what he did, and found there, which, though he hadadmirable matter for it, and his doings there were good, and would haveafforded a noble account, yet he did it with a mind so low and mean, anddelivered in so poor a manner, that it appeared nothing at all, nor anybody seemed to value it; whereas, he might have shewn himself to havemerited extraordinary thanks, and been held to have done a very greatservice: whereas now, all that cost the King hath been at for his journeythrough Spain thither, seems to be almost lost.
