Pepys, Samuel, 1633-1703

"The Diary of Samuel Pepys"

His wife a good woman, and so sober and
substantiall as I was never more pleased any where, Servant-maid,
2s. So thence took leave and he with us through the city; where
in walking I find the city pay him great respect, and he the like
to the meanest, which pleased me mightily. He showed us the
place where the merchants meet here, and a fine cross yet
standing, like Cheapside. And so to the Horse-shoe, where paid
the reckoning, 2s. 6d. We back, and by moonshine to the Bath
again about ten o'clock: bad way; and giving the coachman 1s.
went all of us to bed.
14th. (Sunday). Up, and walked up and down the town, and saw a
pretty good market-place, and many good streets, and very fair
stone-houses. And so to the great church, and there saw Bishop
Montagu's tomb; and, when placed, did there see many brave people
come, and among others two men brought in litters, and set down
in the chancel to hear: but I did not know one face. Here a
good organ; but a vain pragmatical fellow preached a ridiculous,
affected sermon, that made me angry, and some gentlemen that sat
next me, and sang well.
