with my Lady, and staid to talk a while with her. After dinner Will.
comes to tell me that he had presented my piece of plate to Mr. Coventry,
who takes it very kindly, and sends me a very kind letter, and the plate
back again; of which my heart is very glad. So to Mrs. Hunt, where I
found a Frenchman, a lodger of hers, at dinner, and just as I came in was
