DIARY OF SAMUEL PEPYS, MAY/JUN 1666 [sp50g10.txt]

A cat will be a cat still

And if ever I fall on it again, I deserve to be undone

Apprehension of the King of France's invading us

As very a gossip speaking of her neighbours as any body

Baited at Islington, and so late home about 11 at night

Called at a little ale-house, and had an eele pye

Checking her last night in the coach in her long stories

Foretelling the draught of water of a ship before she be launche

Great deale of tittle tattle discourse to little purpose

He is such innocent company

Here I first saw oranges grow

I do not value her, or mind her as I ought

I to bed even by daylight

Long petticoat dragging under their men's coats

Mightily pleased with myself for the business that I have done

Mightily vexed at my being abroad with these women

Never fought with worse officers in his life

Not being well pleased with her over free and loose company

Now very big, and within a fortnight of lying down

Out also to and fro, to see and be seen

Providing against a foule day to get as much money into my hands

Rejoiced over head and ears in this good newes

Requisite I be prepared against the man's friendship

Sang till about twelve at night, with mighty pleasure

Send up and down for a nurse to take the girle home

Shy of any warr hereafter, or to prepare better for it

So back again home to supper and to bed with great pleasure

So home and to supper with beans and bacon and to bed

That I may look as a man minding business

There did what I would with her

There did what 'je voudrais avec' her . . . .

Think that we are beaten in every respect

This is the use we make of our fathers

Took him home the money, and, though much to my grief

Unless my too-much addiction to pleasure undo me

What itching desire I did endeavour to see Bagwell's wife

Young man play the foole upon the doctrine of purgatory
