Like many another writer Mark was captivated by Pepys' style and spirit, and “he determined,” says Albert Bigelow Paine in his 'Mark Twain, A Biography', “to try his hand on an imaginary record of conversation and court manners of a bygone day, written in the phrase of the period. The result was 'Fireside Conversation in the Time of Queen Elizabeth', or as he later called it, '1601'.

ellauri061.html on line 193: Dorothea Kehler has attempted to trace the criticism of the work through the centuries. The earliest such piece of criticism that she found was a 1662 entry in the diary of Samuel Pepys. He found the play to be "the most insipid ridiculous play that ever I saw in my life". He did, however, admit that it had "some good dancing and some handsome women, which was all my pleasure".

ellauri110.html on line 335: Samuel Pepys PRS (/piːps/ PEEPS; 23 February 1633 – 26 May 1703) was an administrator of the navy of England and Member of Parliament who is most famous for the diary he kept for a decade while still a relatively young man. Pepys had no maritime experience, but he rose to be the Chief Secretary to the Admiralty under both King Charles II and King James II through patronage, diligence, and his talent for administration. His influence and reforms at the Admiralty were important in the early professionalisation of the Royal Navy.

ellauri110.html on line 337: The detailed private diary that Pepys kept from 1660 until 1669 was first published in the 19th century and is one of the most important primary sources for the English Restoration period. It provides a combination of personal revelation and eyewitness accounts of great events, such as the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War, and the Great Fire of London.

Peter Pepys-Goodchild, who has been made an MBE, is related to Samuel Pepys and knew Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Morris Mini-Minor.

ellauri110.html on line 344: The diary gives a detailed account of Pepys's personal life. He was fond of wine, plays, and the company of other people. He also spent time evaluating his fortune and his place in the world. He was always curious and often acted on that curiosity, as he acted upon almost all his impulses. Periodically, he would resolve to devote more time to hard work instead of leisure. For example, in his entry for New Year's Eve, 1661, he writes: "I have newly taken a solemn oath about abstaining from plays and wine…" The following months reveal his lapses to the reader; by 17 February, it is recorded, "Here I drank wine upon necessity, being ill for the want of it."

ellauri110.html on line 347: Pepys was an investor in the Company of Royal Adventurers Trading to Africa, which held the Royal monopoly on trading along the west coast of Africa in gold, silver, ivory and slaves.

ellauri110.html on line 349: Propriety did not prevent him from engaging in a number of extramarital liaisons with various women that were chronicled in his diary, often in some detail when relating the intimate details. The most dramatic of these encounters was with Deborah Willet, a young woman engaged as a companion for Elisabeth Pepys. On 25 October 1668, Pepys was surprised by his wife as he embraced Deb Willet; he writes that his wife "coming up suddenly, did find me imbracing the girl con [with] my hand sub [under] su [her] coats; and endeed I was with my main [hand] in her cunny. I was at a wonderful loss upon it and the girl also...." Following this event, he was characteristically filled with remorse, but (equally characteristically) continued to pursue Willet after she had been dismissed from the Pepys household. Pepys also had a habit of fondling the breasts of his maid Mary Mercer while she dressed him in the morning.

ellauri110.html on line 351: 	  Pepys may also have dallied with a leading actress of the Restoration period, Mary Knep. "Mrs Knep was the wife of a Smithfield horsedealer, and the mistress of Pepys"—or at least "she granted him a share of her favours". He called her husband "an ill, melancholy, jealous-looking fellow" and suspected him of abusing his wife. Knep provided Pepys with backstage access and was a conduit for theatrical and social gossip. When they wrote notes to each other, Pepys signed himself "Dapper Dickey", while Knep was "Barbry Allen" (a popular song that was an item in her musical repertory).

Im Alter von 25 heiratete er ein 15-jähriges Mädchen Elizabeth StMichel als Faktotum seinem Vetter, Richard Montague, Earl of Sandwich. Er stieg auf in der Marineverwaltung.

Piips kielsi kaiken mutta raapusteli päiväkirjaan seuraavan: "Die Wahrheit is, dass ich dieses junge Mädchen liebend gern entjungfernt hätte, was mir zweifellos geglückt wäre, hätte ich die Zeit mit ihr gehabt." Nach diesem Unfall schlief er öfters mit seiner Betty, und "ich glaube sie hatte mehr Freude daran als je zuvor in unserer Ehe." Betty kuoli kuumeeseen Helmin ikäisenä eli 29-vuotiaana. Piips ei mennyt uusiin naimisiin vaan bylsi siitä lähin ketä tahtoi milloin teki mieli. 

ellauri276.html on line 922: Kuuluisassa päiväkirjassaan "Piips" Pepys kuvaili tuotantoa "huonosti tehdyksi" ja "paljon epäjärjestystä" - kun laulajapoika esitti kappaleen huonosti, musiikin mestari "putoi korvilleen ja löi häntä niin, että se sai koko talon meteliin."

Pantuaan taas jonkun maalaistytön paxuxi se päätti ottaa Sonjan, joka tykkäs olla kuulun kirjailijan muusana. Lexa pakotti Sonjan lukemaan Pepys-tyyppisen päiväkirjansa, johon joka pano oli seikkaperäisesti kuvattu. Sonjaa ällötti, vielä häiden jälkeenkin. Lexa bylsi Sonjaa sitä innokkaammin, oli varsinainen pirttihirmu ja kotistyränki.
