It seems some of his creditors have taken notice of it, and he was like to be broke yesterday in his absence; Sir G. Carteret telling me that the King and the kingdom must as good as fall with that man at this time; and that he was forced to get L4000 himself to answer Backewell's people's occasions, or he must have broke; but committed this to me as a great secret and which I am heartily sorry to hear.
"He has promised in public and private to do all good offices. The States- General made him a present on his departure of the value of L4000. I fear nevertheless that he, especially in religious matters, will not do the best offices.
Fox about my taking of the; L4000 of him that the King had given my Lord. 12th. Lay long in bed to-day. Sir Wm. Batten went this morning to Deptford to pay off the Wolf. Mr. Hence to De Cretz, where I saw my Lord's picture finished, which do please me very well.
Montagu; and desiring to speak with my Lord at the window in his chamber, he begun to charge my Lord with the greatest ingratitude in the world: that he that had received his earldom, garter, L4000 per annum, and whatever he is in the world, from him, should now study him all the dishonour that he could; and so fell to tell my Lord, that if he should speak all that he knew of him, he could do so and so.
PARSON. "Brought together!" MRS. DALE. "You do snap up one so, my dear; I mean if I could make a match of it." PARSON. "I think Riccabocca is a match already, not only for Jemima, but yourself into the bargain." "Well, we shall see. Was not Jemima's fortune about L4000?" "Ay ay I dare say." MRS. DALE. "And she must have saved! I dare say it is nearly L6000 by this time; eh!
Grey, who hath good intelligence, that our Queen is to go into a nunnery, there to spend her days; and that my Lady Castlemayne is going into France, and is to have a pension of L4000 a-year. This latter I do more believe than the other, it being very wise in her to do it, and save all she hath, besides easing the King and kingdom of a burden and reproach. 6th.
Dined at home only upon fish, and Mr. Shepley and Tom Hater with me. After dinner Mr. Shepley and I in private talking about my Lord's intentions to go speedily into the country, but to what end we know not. We fear he is to go to sea with this fleet now preparing. But we wish that he could get his L4000 per annum settled before he do go.
He at once confirmed to his brother John, who had joined him, the grants made or promised him by their father: L4000 worth of land in England, the county of Mortain in Normandy, and the hand and inheritance of the heiress of the Earl of Gloucester.
They make the broad distinction between it and the other parable, which is often mixed up with it, the parable of the talents. There, instead of the amount being excessively small, it is exceedingly great; for a talent was worth some L400, and ten talents would be L4000, a fair capital for a man to start with.
It was suggested, however, that we should apply to Colonel Beauchamp Walker, who was the official British representative with the German headquarters' staff, for, we were told, Parliament, in its generosity, had voted a sum of L4000 to assist any needy British subjects who might come out of Paris, and Colonel Walker had the handling of the money in question.
