The diary entry:
The queen sent one of her servants to invite Whitelocke to take the aier with her in the fields; and being come to the castle, she excused her not being yett ready to conferre with him uppon his articles, as she had promised; butt told him, that she had ordered somthing to be written down on that subject to show to him.
She took him into her coach, where was the belle comtesse, the comtesse Gabriel Oxenstierne, prince Adolphe, Piementelle, Montecuculi, Tot, and Whitelocke: the queen was very merry, and they were full of chearfull discourse.
Being returned to the castle att night, she desired to heare Whitelocke's musick, whom he sent for to the castle; and they played and sang in her presence, wherwith she seemed much pleased, and desired Whitelocke to thanke them in her name: she said she never heard so good a consort of musicke, and of english songs; and desired Whitelocke, at his returne to England, to procure her some to play on those instruments which would be most agreeable to her. ...
