Pepys’ Diary.
August Ist, 1667. Up, and all the morning at the office. At noon mv wife and I dined at Sir W. Pen’s, only with Mrs Turner and her husband, on a damned venison pasty that stunk like a devil. However I did not know it till dinner was done. We had nothing but only this and a leg of mutton and a pullet or two. Mrs Markham was here. I was very merry, and after dinner, upon a motion of the women, I was got to go to the play with them, and so to the King s house, to see 44 The Custome of the Country.” The house mighty empty, more than I ever saw it, and an ill play.
