The Diary of Samuel Pepys 1661 Section 5 - May

In which I take a journey through several towns and ports, observing the bustle of naval preparations and the company of various officers and friends, whilst attending to my own duties and domestic affairs with a keen eye. The days unfold with visits to courts and taverns, lively discourse on matters both public and private, punctuated by the care of my household and the changing fortunes of those around me.
