This day at dawn did come again the drum and a time was appointed an hour hence to exchange M. de Volpellyaire; I did let him keep the clothes in which he stood (including his boots) and sold him back his sword, it being inferior to mine methinks; he was actually fine fellow, and rather skilled at music and a fine merry companion for the time he dwelt here; I have now 500 écu and that along with the 5/ paid me by Mr. S. earlier this month and various amounts won at games and received for other reasons doth mean I am ahead by about 67/ for the month; two regiments of the King his lances did come to camp this day and oh how sorry they look, all bedraggled and in such poor spirits for want of pay that our men seemeth so much more the gallants in comparison; the Allmayne Prince was shot in the foot this day as he stood in the trench with the King.
Luke has made a pot of money this month, not certainly a common occurrence, but something that could happen occasionally if he was lucky. The entry of the lances and Prince Christian being shot in the foot is attested to in Coningsby.
