Thomas Farriner It weren't me, I swear by the Virgin! The embers were dead cold when I banked the oven!

City Guard Leave off your prating, man! Fetch your firehook and help pull down the 'ouse yonder!

Samuel Pepys Observe how the flames leap from gable to gable with most remarkable speed - the thatch acts as tinder for this dreadful conflagration.

Thomas Farriner My livelihood burns! All my flour, my ovens - forty years' work gone in an hour!

City Guard Move your arses, you laggards! The rope goes taut on three - heave!

Samuel Pepys Good guard, has word been sent to the Lord Mayor? This fire requires more than bucket brigades - we must have organized demolition!

City Guard Aye, Master Pepys, but the Mayor's at his country house while London burns! Now either lend your hands or stand clear!
