From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

So I walked over Moorefields, and thence to Clerkenwell church and
there (as I wished) sat next pew to the fair Butler, who endeed is a
most perfect beauty still.  And one I do very much admire myself for
my choice of her for a beauty---she having the best lower part of
her face that ever I saw all days of my life. ... So away back to
Clerkenwell church, thinking to have got sight of la belle Boteler
again, but failed; and so after church walked all over the firleds
home; and there my wife was angry with me for not coming home and
for gadding abroad to look after beauties, she told me plainly; so I
made all peace, and to supper.
