Quote 116 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

Walked back from Woolwich to Greenwich all alone, save a man that
had a cudgell in his hand; and though he told me he laboured in the
King's yards and many other good arguments that he is an honest man,
yet God forgive me, I did doubt he might knock me on the head behind
with his club---but I got safe home.

		-- Pepys' Diary, 30 Jun. 1664
