Quote 71 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

God forgive me, I was sorry to hear that Sir W. Pens maid Betty
was gone away yesterday, for I was in hopes to have had a bout
with her before she had gone, she being very pretty.  I have
also a mind to my own wench, but I dare not, for fear she
should prove honest and refuse and then tell my wife.

		-- Pepys' Diary, 1 Aug. 1662
