“Diary,” May 24, 1669. “To Whitehall where I attended the Duke of York and was by him led to the King.” To this passage Lord Braybrooke added this note: “It seems doubtful whether the expression of being led to the King has any reference to the defective state of Pepys’s vision. Perhaps he might wish to make the most of this infirmity, in the hope of strengthening his claim for leave of absence.” It is rather too absurd to think that the Duke of York would lead Pepys by the hand through the corridors of the palace. If a guide had been needed, the services of a less august personage could surely have been obtained.

The particulars of his accounts, as given in the “Diary,” are very curious, and it may be worth while here to tabulate some of them.
About this time he appears to have made but little extra money, for his monthly balances vary only a few pounds, sometimes more and sometimes less:—
This year he made money by prizes and fees for victualling, so that by Dec. 31 he had raised his estate to £4,400.
After this he did not pay so much attention to these details, and on Jan. 23, 1668–69, he says that he is two years behindhand.
