After dinner my wife
comes up to me and all friends again
Ambassador—that
he is an honest man sent to lie abroad
As all things else did
not come up to my expectations
Coming to lay out a
great deal of money in clothes for my wife
Did extremely beat him,
and though it did trouble me to do it
Dominion of the Sea
Exclaiming against men’s
wearing their hats on in the church
From some fault in the
meat to complain of my maid’s sluttery
Gamester’s life,
which I see is very miserable, and poor
Get his lady to trust
herself with him into the tavern
Good wine, and anchovies,
and pickled oysters (for breakfast)
Like a passionate fool,
I did call her whore
My wife and I fell out
Oliver Cromwell as his
ensign
Seemed much glad of
that it was no more
Sir W. Pen was so fuddled
that we could not try him to play
Strange the folly of
men to lay and lose so much money
The unlawfull use of
lawfull things
Took occasion to fall
out with my wife very highly
Took physique, and it
did work very well
Tory—The
term was not used politically until about 1679
We had a good surloyne
of rost beefe
ETEXT editor’s bookmarks for Pepys diary of 1961:
A most tedious, unreasonable,
and impertinent sermon
A play not very good,
though commended much
A great baboon, but

A little while since
a very likely man to live as any I knew
A lady spit backward
upon me by a mistake
After dinner my wife
comes up to me and all friends again
Ambassador—that
he is an honest man sent to lie abroad
And so by coach, though
hard to get it, being rainy, home
As all things else did
not come up to my expectations
Begun to smell, and
so I caused it to be set forth (corpse)
Being sure never to
see the like again in this world
Believe that England
and France were once the same continent
Bleeding behind by leeches
will cure him
But she loves not that
I should speak of Mrs. Pierce
By chewing of tobacco
is become very fat and sallow
Cannot bring myself
to mind my business
Chocolate was introduced
into England about the year 1652
Comely black woman.—[The
old expression for a brunette.]
Coming to lay out a
great deal of money in clothes for my wife
Cruel custom of throwing
at cocks on Shrove Tuesday
Day I first begun to
go forth in my coat and sword
Did extremely beat him,
and though it did trouble me to do it
Did trouble me very
much to be at charge to no purpose
Difference there will
be between my father and mother about it
Discontented that my
