Quote 42 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

And strange it is, to think that these two days have held up
fair till now that all is done and the King gone out of the
hall; and then it fell a-raining and thundering and lightening
as I have not seen it do some years---which people did take
great notice of God's blessing of the work of these two
days---which is a foolery, to take too much notice of such
things.

... there we drank the King's health and nothing else, till one
of the genlemen fell down stark drunk and there lay speweing.
And I went to my Lord's pretty well.  But no sooner a-bed with
Mr. Sheply but my head begun to turne and I to vomitt, and if
ever I was foxed it was now---which I cannot say yet, because I
fell asleep and sleep till morning---only, when I waked I found
myself wet with my spewing.  Thus did the day end, with joy
everywhere.
