In the entry for 12th December 1661 the following events are modelled:
- William Bowyer and John Gregory visit Samuel at his home.
- Pepys, Bowyer and Gregory go to the Dolphin for their morning draught.
- Samuel dines with Lady Montagu and Sir John Crew at the Wardrobe.
- Samuel goes to Westminster in search of Sir John Robartes.
- Pepys and Robartes work on Privy Office matters.
- Pepys visits William Penn at his home.
In the course of writing up today's topic map, I discovered (thanks to my birthday present to myself of the L&M Companion volume) that I have made a couple of errors in the interpretation of the diary.
Firstly, "The Wardrobe" is most likely a reference to the headquarters of the Kings Great Wardrobe which was off Puddle Dock Hill and not in Wardrobe Court. Secondly, Pepys frequent business with the Lord Privy Seal is as a result of him acting as deputy for Sir Edward Montagu who holds the position of clerk in the Privy Office. So in fact, when Pepys works with the Lord Privy Seal, it is more likely on Privy Office business than on Navy business.
To address the first issue, I have created a new topic representing the headquarters of the Wardrobe at Puddle Dock Hill. The second issue raises the problem of the names of certain events which may be misleading. There is also the issue of making retrospective changes to the entries made so far. My feeling is that the best way to do this is to consolidate the entries into a single topic map and then use either tolog or a TM4J application of some sort to manipulate topics as required. More thought is needed on this.

The first entry covered today is for 7th December 1661 and requires the introduction of a new event type. The events modelled are:
- Captain Ferrers and Emmanuel Luffe visit Samuel Pepys at home.
- Emmanuel Luffe plays Samuel's theoboro (modelled as a performance event).
- Ferrers and Luffe breakfast with Pepys.
- When they leave, Samuel and Elizabeth discuss purchases for Elizabeth.
- Meanwhile, Ferrers and Luffe have a run-in with some watermen at Tower Stairs. This is modelled as a conflict event that occurs during Samuel and Elizabeth's discussion event.
- During the fight, Emmanuel Luffe receives a head wound. This is modelled as a new type of event - an injury event. The injury event type is subclassed from the health event type. Emmanuel Luffe is modelled as the injured party (a role subclassed from patient).
- Luffe returns to Seething Lane and Elizabeth treats his wounds (the travelling event is implied).
- Henry Moore and Samuel Pepys visit Ned Montagu at Worcester House but are unable to see him. This is modelled as a visit to Worcester House.
- Pepys and Moore dine at Wilkinson's cookhouse.
- Samuel works at the Privy Seal.
- Samuel travels to the Navy Office by boat.
- Samuel works at the Navy Office.
- Captain Holmes arrives at the Navy office and he talks to Samuel. Amongst other things, Samuel hears of Holmes' opinion of Sir John Minnes. This is all modelled as a discussion event that occurrs during the preceding working event, with John Minnes as the subject of the discussion.
- John Cox visits Samuel at the Navy Office.
- Samuel returns home and writes a letter to his father. Again the travelling event is implied in the change of location for this event from the preceding event.
For 8th December, the following events are modelled:
- Samuel receives a letter from William Smallwood, conveying Tom Trice's answer to Pepys' Chancery bill. This is modelled as a correspondence event between Smallwood and Pepys with the subject of the event being Pepys' Chancery bill.
- Samuel dines at the Wardrobe with Lady Montagu.
- Lady Montagu tells Samuel of the christening of William Rumbold's son Charles. The christening itsel is also modelled as a separate event.
- Thomas Pepys (the brother) visits Samuel at his home.
