The next day I had another Letter sent me, as also a Diamond-Ring of
twenty pound price as a present; I accepted of both, and then promised
within two days to meet him again at the Playhouse, where my Gallant
came richly accoutred in all his bravery, I then entertained discourse
with him, and the Play being ended, I at his earnest importunity
accepted of a Treat he quickly provided for me at the next Tavern. I
then told him, that I durst not stay, for I expected my Unkle to come
and visit me that evening at my Lodging, who was to bring me news out of
the Country about my father: he being desirous to please me, contented
to my departure, I promising to give him another meeting at a place we
appointed the next day, and thus we again parted. I was now so far
engaged with him; that I the next day again met him, and he then courted
me for enjoyment; but I seeming very angry, he to pacifie me, gave me a
gold Watch, and then I permitted him to embrace and kiss me; and though
I contradicted his proceeding further with me, yet he found by me, that
in time he might arrive to it. In this apprehension he was very prodigal
in his promises, and what great things he would do, if I would permit
him so great a happiness, he oftentimes wishing himself a single-man
(for he was married) that he might make himself happy in so brave a
Wife, as he knew I would be. These Discourses and others which he used,
and those many strict embraces which he gave me, did somewhat move me
with the titillations of the flesh; and I had much ado to continue
inexorable: but remembring how I had been deceived formerly, and withal
knowing that I had not our Matrona’s order as yet for fruition, I
therefore contradicted my own thoughts and wanton desires, and refused
to let him proceed to any other satisfaction then what he could get by
kissing and embracing me, and handling my brests and neck; and so we
again parted, I being still attended by my Bedfellow.
We were no sooner come home, but she was sent for by our Matrona, to
whom she gave an account of our actions: but that was not all her
business, for when she returned home, and we were in bed together, she
told me that she had been at the sport with a brave Gallant, with whom
she had received great pleasure, for he was newly come to Town, and
willing enough to have continued the sport longer, but that it was late,
and therefore they had referred a continuance of the pleasures to the
next day; and that she had not only pleasure, but profit, for he had
given her three Crowns, and promised to be more beneficial to her during
his stay in _London_.
