er la thigh de su landlady, and thence all alone to Fox
Hall, and walked and saw young Newport, and two more rogues of the town,
seize on two ladies, who walked with them an hour with their masks on;
perhaps civil ladies; and there I left them, and so home, and thence to
Mr. Mills's, where I never was before, and here find, whom I indeed
saw go in, and that did make me go thither, Mrs. Hallworthy and Mrs.
Andrews, and here supped, and, extraordinary merry till one in the
morning, Mr. Andrews coming to us: and mightily pleased with this
night's company and mirth I home to bed. Mrs. Turner, too, was with us.

2nd. Up, and to the office, where all the morning. At noon home to
dinner, and there dined with me, besides my own people, W. Batelier and
Mercer, and we very merry. After dinner, they gone, only Mercer and I
to sing a while, and then parted, and I out and took a coach, and called
