title: The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Vol. 4: 1663
author:  Samuel Pepys 
description: "[Pepys] was not only Charles II's chief naval administrator, but a keen amateur of learning and an indefatigable enthusiast of politics, music, theater, women, life. He sets down his daily experience with a journalist's eye for detail, something of a novelist's sensitivity and, since he is writing for himself, a delightful frankness."--"Publishers Weekly

  house: for I do find it necessary for me, both in respect to honour and the
  profit of it also, my expense in hackney-coaches being now so great, to keep a
