Pepys’ Diary. June 6th, 1665. To my Lady Sandwich’s, who, poor lady, expects every hour to hear of my Lord; but in the best temper, neither confident nor troubled with fear, that I ever did see in my life. June 7th, 1665. This day, much against my will, I did in Drury Lane see two or three houses marked with a red cross upon the doors, and “ Lord have mercy upon us ” writ there; which was a sad sight to me, being the first of the kind that, to my remembrance, I ever saw. It put me into an ill conception of myself and my smell, so that I was forced to buy some roll-tobacco to smell to and chaw, which took away the apprehension.
