"No! that's what the dirty Authors make plays with; a Lord and a Colonel, my-seen-asses, always takes the scissors." "How?" "Why the Colonel's Lady had lots of plays and she marked a scene here a jest there a line in one place a sentiment in t' other and the Colonel sate by with a great paper book cut 'em out, pasted them in book. Augh! but the Colonel pleased the town mightily."
The plague encreases mightily, I this day seeing a house, at a bitt-maker's over against St. Clement's Church, in the open street, shut up; which is a sad sight. 27th. Up and to the office, where all the morning. At noon dined by chance at my Lady Batten's, and they sent for my wife, and there was my Lady Pen and Pegg.
"Now by keeping these things in mind," he concluded, "you'll be able to operate your set to the best advantage and get the satisfaction you are looking for." "We certainly hope to, anyway," said Bob. "We've put a lot of work and quite a little money into this outfit, and we'd be mightily disappointed if we didn't get good results."
Turner, and played at cards and supped with us, and were pretty merry, and Pegg with me in my closet a good while, and did suffer me 'a la baiser mouche et toucher ses cosas' upon her breast, wherein I had great pleasure, and so spent the evening and then broke up, and I to bed, my mind mightily pleased with the day's entertainment. 29th.

Christopher Pett his daughter, who is a very pretty, modest girle, I am mightily taken with her; and that being done about five o'clock, home, very well pleased with the afternoon's work.

Here is Mr. Carroll, and you may ask him. God forgive me, Richard! I stopped Mr. Carroll, who seemed mightily surprised.
Though the host of the Nutmeg-Grater had a lively regard for his good-wife, it was of the old patronising kind, and she amused him mightily. Nothing would have astonished him so much, as to have known for certain from any third party, that it was she who managed the whole house, and made him, by her plain straightforward thrift, good-humour, honesty, and industry, a thriving man.
She sat as one turned to stone, her hands clenched tightly in her lap, so tightly that he could see the cords standing out in her wrists.
