Pepqs’ Diaru.
February 23rd (Lord’s Day), 1668. This evening my wife did with great pleasure shew me her stock of jewells, encreased by the ring she hath made lately as my Valentine’s gift this year, a Turky (turquoise) stone set with diamonds: and, with this and - what she had, she reckons that she hath above £l5O worth of jewells of one kind or other; and I am glad of it, for it is fit the wretch should have something to content herself with. February 24th, 1668.
Meeting Dr Gibbons; he and I to see an organ at the Dean of Westminsters lodgings at the Abby, the Bishop of Rochester's, where he lives like a great prelate, his lodgings being very good, though at present under great disgrace at Court, being put by his Clerk of the Closet s place. Here I saw the organ; but it is too big for my house, and the fashion do not please me enough, and therefore will not have it.
