Concluded upon giving 50l. for a fine pair of black horses we saw this day se'nnight; and so set Mr. 12th.
But I like no play here so well as at the common playhouse; besides that, my eyes being very ill since last Sunday and this day se'nnight, with the light of the candles, I was in mighty pain to defend myself now from the light of the candles.

After this tempest had subsided, I recollect the following particulars of his conversation: 'I am always for getting a boy forward in his learning; for that is a sure good.
"Then you still were friendly. Folks said you'd cast her off, and said you'd never speak to her again." "Folks always make one a deal worse than one is," said John Barton testily. "She came many a time to our house after she left off living with us.

This last I did not tell him, but I shall order it so. Having agreed upon to-morrow come se'nnight for the spending of the 40s. at Mr. Rawlinson's, we parted, and I set T. Trice down in Paul's Churchyard and I by coach home and to my office, and there set down this day's passages, and so home to supper and to bed. Mr.
