I got a guinea off @samuelpepys forvery little trouble in smiling & being obliging tho I can usually come off at a profit by singing for him

[Mary Mercer @Mary_Mercer]

@mrssamuelpepys told me that @samuelpepys reads L'escholle des filles. It is just the thing a dirty old goat would read and call it worthy.

That dirty old goat @samuelpepys tried to touch me up in the coach coming home, but I made it clear I will have no more of that nonsense

[Mary Mercer @Mary_Mercer]

@samuelpepys would have me sing his "It is decreed" over and again. He does not seem to tire of that tune!
