He said, If I pleased, he would let me in.
I desired to know how the Queen was.
He answered, "Pretty well."
I bade him "Good Night!"
He replied and said, "Sir, if you will come in; I will give you my word and credit you shall go out again at your own pleasure."
Upon his word, I entered the Gate, and came up to the Cofferer's Chamber: where I found all the Ladies weeping bitterly.
He [the Comptroller] led me from thence to the Privy Chamber; where all the [Privy] Council was assembled.
There I was caught hold of; and assured I should not go for Scotland till their pleasures were further known.
