As well as recording public and historical events, Pepys paints a vivid picture of his personal life, from his socializing and amorous entanglements, to his theatre-going and his work at the Navy Board.

At noon home to dinner, where uncle Thomas with me, and in comes Pierce lately come from Oxford, and Ferrers. After dinner Pierce and I up to my chamber, where he tells me how a great difference hath been between the Duke and Duchesse, he suspecting her to be naught with Mr. Sidney.1 But some way or other the matter is made up; but he was banished the Court, and the Duke for many days did not speak to the Duchesse at all. He tells me that my Lord Sandwich is lost there at Court, though the King is particularly his friend. But people do speak every where slightly of him; which is a sad story to me, but I hope it may be better again. And that Sir G. Carteret is neglected, and hath great enemies at work against him. That matters must needs go bad, while all the town, and every boy in the streete, openly cries, \"The King cannot go away till my Lady Castlemaine be ready to come along with him;\" she 1 \" This Duchess was Chancellor Hyde's daughter, and she was a very handsome woman, and had a great deal of wit; there...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/samuel-pepys-books\"\u003eSamuel Pepys\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bell \u0026amp; Hyman, Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780713516647\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bell \u0026 Hyman, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £5.48","offer_id":47913153233073,"sku":"SB-071351664X-C3","price":5.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Poor Condition — £4.98","offer_id":47913153265841,"sku":"SB-071351664X-C4","price":4.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/071351664X_e81bbcc0-133f-43a8-b8bc-cb03ec399077.jpg?v=1794638535"}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/collections\/samuel-pepys-books.oembed","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
