Quote 28 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

Up exceeding early to go to the Comptroller, thinking to have gone
with him to Whitehall.  But he not being up and it being a very fine
bright Moonshine morning, I went and walked all alone twenty turns
in Cornhill, from gracious streete corner to the Stockes and back
again---from 6 a-clock till past 7---so long that I was weary: and
going to the Controller's, thinking to find him ready, I find him
gone.  At which I was troubled, and being weary, went home.
