@samuelpepys is a lucky dog, but also a fine fellow. I had him order the finest wines with our meat and he paid the reckoning without ado.

[William Batelier @WilliamBatelier]

I had the great fortune to sit opposite @mrssamuelpepys at supper and barely took meat for feasting in the delightful view she afforded.

I would rather go ten times over when @Mary_Mercer is singing

[William Batelier @WilliamBatelier]

I shall never visit @samuelpepys again when Betty Turner is there and threaten to sing. It put me in mind of a cat being castrated!
