Perticularly, he [Mr. Eveling] intertained me with discourse of an
Infirmery which he hath projected for the sick and wounded seamen
against the next year, which I mightily approve of---and will
endeavour to promote it, it being a worthy thing---and of use and
will save money.

After supper I made the ladies sing, and they have been taught; but
Lord, though I was forced to commend them, yet it was the saddest
stuff I ever heard.

Pepys' Diary, 29 Jan. 1666
