The curtains of my bed being drawn waked me, and I saw a man stand there by the inside of my bed calling me French dogg 20 times, and I starting, as if I would get out of the bed, he fell a-laughing as hard as he could drive, and laid his hand on my shoulder.

After he had looked wistly upon me, and found that I did not answer him to the names that he called me by, which was Salmon, Sir Carteret’s clerk, and Robt. Maddox, he put off his hat on a suddaine, and forebore laughing, and asked who I was, saying, “Are you Mr. Pepys?”
