satisfaction; press'd my hand, which I remember not he did
before except when I return'd from the French service. 29 acted
his part well, and I too. 39 and D. seemed not ill pleas'd.

"26. 29 took me aside and falling upon the business of L.R. said
he inclined to have sav'd him but was forc'd to it, otherwise he
must have broke with 39. Bid me think no more on't. Coming home
L. told me he fear'd 39 began to smell out 29's carriage. That
---- said to 39 that morning that all that was done was but
sham.

"27. Several told me of the storm that was brewing. Rumsey was
with 39 and was seem to come out crying that he must accuse a
man he lov'd.

"_Dec._ 19. A letter from 29 bidding me stay till I heard
farther from him.

"_Jan._ 5. I received a letter from L. marked by 29 in the
margin to trust entirely in 10; and that in February I should
certainly have leave to return. That matters were concerted
towards it; and that 39 had no suspicion, notwithstanding of my
reception here.

"_Feb._ 8. A letter from L. that my business was almost as well
as done; but must be so sudden as not to leave room for 39's
party to counterplot. That it is probable he would choose
Scotland rather than Flanders or this country; which was all one
to 29.
