Note 835 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
Pepys relates how one evening Penn and he fell to discoursing about some words in a French song Mrs. Pepys was singing—D'un air tout interdict: "wherein I laid twenty to one against him, which he would not agree to with me, though I know myself in the right as to the sense of the word, and almost angry we were, and were an houre and more upon the dispute, till at last broke up not satisfied, and so home."
