Event Comment: Pepys, Diary: At noon comes
Luellin to me, and he and I to the tavern and after that to
Bartholomew fair, and there upon his motion to a pitiful alehouse, where we had a dirty slut or two come up that were whores, but my very heart went against them, so that I took no pleasure but a great deal of trouble in being there and getting from thence in fear of being seen. From hence he and I walked towards
Ludgate and parted. I back to the fair all alone , and there met with the ladies
Jemimah and
Paulina, with
Mr Pickering and Madamoiselle, at seeing the monkeys dance, which was much to see, when they could be brought to do so, but it troubled me to sit among such nasty company
