Six o' Clock, and shou'd have found the intermediate time hang rather heavy
on my hands had it not been for an agreable woman who is sitting opposite
me, a Mrs Holdham, wife of Mr. Holdham, whose name was Shuttleworth,
which being a younger Brother of my Old Friend Bob. S. he changed for
his Mother's Estate. Her Husband lives at a Place called Sochez or Sauchai
or some such name, five miles from Dieppe
