Pepys, Samuel
Quotations
Clean myself with warm water; my wife
will have me
Comb my head clean, which I found so
foul with powdering
Come to see them in bed together, on
their wedding-night
Come to us out of bed in his furred
mittens and furred cap
Comely black woman.--[The old
expression for a brunette.]
Coming to lay out a great deal of money
in clothes for my wife
Commons, where there is nothing done
but by passion, and faction
Compliment from my aunt, which I take
kindly as it is unusual
Confidence, and vanity, and disparages
everything
Confusion of years in the case of the
months of January (etc.)
Consult my pillow upon that and every
great thing of my life
Content as to be at our own home, after
being abroad awhile
Contracted for her as if he had been
buying a horse
Convenience of periwiggs is so great
Could not saw above 4 inches of the
stone in a day
Counterfeit mirthe and pleasure with
them, but had but little
Court is in a way to ruin all for their
pleasures
Court attendance infinite tedious
Craft and cunning concerning the buying
and choosing of horses
Credit of this office hath received by
this rogue's occasion
Cruel custom of throwing at cocks on
Shrove Tuesday
Cure of the King's evil, which he do
deny altogether
Dare not oppose it alone for making an
enemy and do no good
Declared he will never have another
public mistress again
Delight to see these poor fools decoyed
into our condition
Deliver her from the hereditary curse
of child-bearing
Desk fastened to one of the armes of
his chayre
Did dig another, and put our wine in
it; and I my Parmazan cheese
Did extremely beat him, and though it
did trouble me to do it
Did so watch to see my wife put on
drawers, which (she did)
Did take me up very prettily in one or
two things that I said
Did much insist upon the sin of
adultery
Did go to Shoe Lane to see a
cocke-fighting at a new pit there
Did find none of them within, which I
was glad of
Did tumble them all the afternoon as I
pleased
Did trouble me very much to be at
charge to no purpose
Did see the knaveries and tricks of
jockeys
Did not like that Clergy should meddle
with matters of state
Did put evil thoughts in me, but
proceeded no further
Dined with my wife on pease porridge
and nothing else
Dined upon six of my pigeons, which my
wife has resolved to kill
Dined at home alone, a good calves head
boiled and dumplings
Dinner, an ill and little mean one,
with foul cloth and dishes
Discontented at the pride and luxury of
the Court
Discontented that my wife do not go
neater now she has two maids
Discourse of Mr. Evelyn touching all
manner of learning
Discoursed much against a man's lying
with his wife in Lent
Discoursing upon the sad condition of
the times
Disease making us more cruel to one
another than if we are doggs
Disorder in the pit by its raining in,
from the cupola
Disquiet all night, telling of the
clock till it was daylight
Do outdo the Lords infinitely (debates
in the Commons)
