Yes in the morning, right, nobody. 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.840 It's so girl busy because then it's like after the office, 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.520 then you do a full pub crawl. It's like he's 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.679 not so besotted by the affairs of the state. He's 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.160 still just like I'm making time for just like conversation 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.840 and friends like this is literally like one day after 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.319 work at noon Harry Ethel came to me and went 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.160 along with mister myloord by coach as far as Hasbury Court, 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:41.800 and then we sat him down and went to the clerks, 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.840 where we came a little too late, but in a closet. 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.400 We had a very good dinner by mister Pinky's courtesy, 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.199 and after the night we had a pretty good singing 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.720 and one has it sung alone after the old fashion, 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.360 which was very much cried up, but I did not 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.880 like it. Thence we went to the Green Dragon on 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.080 Lambeth Hill, both the mister Pinky Smith Harrison Morris that 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.040 sang the bass, Shepley and I and now we're saying 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.160 all sorts of things, and I eventually with good success 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.520 upon things at first sight. And after that I played 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.480 on my flagiola and stayed there till nine o'clock. After that, 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.120 Shepley Harris said, and myself we went to Westminster on 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.920 foot and at the Golden Lion near charring Cross, we 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.360 went in and drank a pint of wine. It's like 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.000 you're going to one tavern, you're having dinner in a closet, 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:28.360 more ale, next tavern, next another wench more Ale, and. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.880 It also shocks me more. I'm like, damn, like carriages 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.800 really are speeding up here because I'm like, you're actually 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.880 hitting up a lot of places. I feel like early 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.600 American history, they're always being like, oh, it took me 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.600 two days to get to the tavern home, and it's like, 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.840 I mean, London, it's a city, it's closer, but like 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.240 he's always like going by boat to like another bar 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.520 and then like hopping in a carriage to like another 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.560 lord's house. Then they're catching a play, then he's back home. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.560 Yeah, I mean, I think that's the difference between like 0:14:55.840 --> 0:15:00.000 more like village frontier suburban life versus like the central 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.000 core of London. 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.880 Like American suburbria started and like and he's being like 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:06.120 core city. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.160 Like yeah no, it took like Paul Revere a long 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.320 time to ride to Lexington on a horse, but he's. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:12.480 Like literally downtown. 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.560 He's like in downtown London and he's taking like a 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.600 boat like four blocks and. 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.680 Then it's like lock boat, which we need to bring back. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.760 I know, and then he's walking three blocks around their 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.520 house and then like walking back across the bridge. It's 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.200 kind of like it's all pretty es central. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.480 So let's get into his relationship with his wife. She's French, 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.400 and they have like kind of like the most just 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.480 like to this day, like modern but like accurate display 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:37.760 of a relationship, like. 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:41.280 It's the most normal relationship ever. It's actually kind of crazy. 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.400 Like here's this passage. This is by the way, right 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.760 before his brother dies. So to the change, and then's 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.280 home where my wife and I fell out about my 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.560 not being willing to have her gown laced, but we 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.040 lay out the same money and more in a plain 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.920 new one. At this she flounced away in a manner 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.280 I never saw her, noah, which I could ever endure. 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.080 So I away to the office, though she had dressed 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.200 herself to go see my lady sandwich. 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.280 She's so she buy. 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.920 And buy, Yeah, she buy and buying. A rage follows 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.960 me and coming to me tells me in a spiteful 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.800 manner that like a vixen, and with a look full 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.920 of rancor, that she would go and buy a new 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.800 one and lace it and make me pay for it 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.480 and then let me burn it if I would after 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.560 she had done it. So she went away in a fury, 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.360 and it's so classic fight where she's mad. But then 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:32.560 he's like, I'm mad because you're actually so mad. The 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.080 way you're mad about this gown is toxic. Yeah, and 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:35.960 now I'm mad about that. 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.120 It's like the fact that you flounced like that is 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.720 actually so toxic. And she's like, it's actually insane that 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.600 you would rather buy your new dress then pay for 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.920 me to get this dress laced, and he's just being like, 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.680 lacing is like a waste of funny. 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.480 It's also crazy. She actually like, this whole needs so 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.520 much money because you need to pay every time to 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.720 get your gown lace, which makes sense. It takes hours. 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.400 Yeah, I mean the amount of like up keep goes 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.200 into clothing. And it's interesting when you think about fast 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.560 fashion and the czars of today. 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.679 Instead of buying another shirt on sheen right, get a 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.720 gown laced, pay a local woman to lace your gown. 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.719 I do think that there's a happy medium, because it 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:19.200 does seem to me that the clothes need constant repairs 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.280 and it's just like the pants are being sewn by 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.000 one of the house wenches every single day. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.679 But it's also the economy. Those wenches need jobs. 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.159 No, that's true. No, you're right, and from like a 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.479 Kinesian perspective, it makes sense, just like the wench has 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.520 got to be doing something, you know, if she's not 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:38.719 she's not sewing, then she's getting she's saying her deep Yeah. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.960 So I learned a crazy thing about Charles and his 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.280 wife Catherine, Queen Catherine, who actually the public hated and 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.960 did little research myself because she was like Portuguese and 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:50.440 like was Catholic but converted. 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.760 He talks so much about the Portuguese the book. He 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.000 keeps being like they're so ugly and weird and their 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.080 town is gross, and like they don't make sense. 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.240 Because I was like, what's going on? Because he's being 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.800 so gossip even though he's always like fighting with his wife. 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.040 At the end of the day, there's so many like 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.040 cute paragraphs where he's being like, my wife and I 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.160 laid in bed and had so much discourse about. 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:15.760 Not yeah, no, they're having discourse about like life, ARTI theater, 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:17.040 like it's really. 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.280 Beautiful, politics, finance, and then he'll be like the king 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.440 does not like his wife and for she can bear 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:24.560 no children as well. 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.919 People hate when a queen can't bear a child. It's 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.879 really But the thing is people love Charles. He was 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.320 called the Mary King, and I think there was a 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:36.680 huge amount of joy at like the monarchy being restored. 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.040 But people were so happy about that, and I think 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.440 people just didn't get that she literally was just I mean. 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.200 Well, but she was sick girl. Remember how she's sick 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:50.320 for like she's the queen was possed because she's sick today. 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.639 Kay, Yeah, and everyone hates Megan. 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:59.320 It's like her name is also Catherine. That's crazy, yeah, 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:05.440 because she is hard sick for like hard six months. 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.840 And he's carrying on with like two different messages and 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:09.760 everyone's talking about and he's being kind of like he's 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.280 the King's being like a little bit obvious boots about it. 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.040 He's no get this. So her best friend was like 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.760 her maiden, and then he fired her maiden so he 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.480 could have his mistresses become her maiden, which Samuel Peeps 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.640 also does. Yeah, they're all being like so sister wife 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.879 and being like, well, obviously I'm gonna be fucking my 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.160 wife's maid because it just makes sense, like keep her around. 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.920 Yeah, it's just about domestic convenience. And also like if 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.399 she's on the payroll, then it's I mean, and it 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.160 is a little bit more like abusive power in this way, 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:44.320 but it's also bit more like, you know, fam keep 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.520 in the family and also pay women what they are owed. 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:49.880 Just to continue with the wife for a second, he's 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.399 always so mad at her for being messy, which is 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.520 the most normal relationship thing ever. I just like, there's 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.120 so many instants in the book. After dinner, my wife 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:00.879 went and fetch the little to us, which were very 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:02.919 pretty ones. After they were gone, I went up to 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.359 put my papers in order, and finding my wife's clothes 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:10.080 lie carelessly laid up. I was angry with her, which 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.680 I was troubled for. It's like this is always getting 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.320 mad and then feeling guilty about getting mad. 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.560 And this, by the way, is right after he did 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:20.640 buy her a new petticoat. It's like the way I've 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:22.680 been in this like fight where I feel like I'll 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:27.160 see Maya like buy a new like vintage like Sonia 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.760
