From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)
And after dinner to Mr. Crews and thence to the Theatre, where I saw again _The Lost Lady_, which doth now please me better then before. And here, I sitting behind in a dark place, a lady spat backward upon me by a mistake, not seeing me. But after seeing her to be a very pretty lady, I was not troubled at it at all. -- Pepys' Diary, 28 Jan. 1661
