by Samuel Pepys (1633 - 1703)

Great pleasure (16.1.1664)
Language: English 
I by water to Westminster Hall and there did see Mrs Lane and de
là, elle and I to the cabaret at the Cloche in the street du
Roy; and there, after some caresses, je l'ay foutée sous de la
chaise deux times, and the last to my great pleasure; mais j'ai grand
peur que je l'ay fait faire aussi elle même. Mais after I had
done, elle commençait parler as before and I did perceive that
je n'avais fait rien de danger à elle. Et avec ça, I
came away; and though I did make grand promises à la contraire,
nonobstant je ne la verrai pas long time. So home to supper and to bed
-- with my mind un peu troublé pour ce que j'ai fait to
day. But I hope it will be la dernière de toute my vie.
