     And so to bed and there entertained her with great content
     Apprehend about one hundred Quakers
     Being cleansed of lice this day by my wife
     Conceited, but that’s no matter to me
     Fear it may do him no good, but me hurt
     Fearful that I might not go far enough with my hat off
     He having made good promises, though I fear his performance
     My wife has got too great head to be brought down soon
     So much is it against my nature to owe anything to any body
     Sporting in my fancy with the Queen
     Things being dear and little attendance to be had we went away
     Towzing her and doing what I would, but the last thing of all. . . .

Diaryof Samuel Pepys. 
September & October
1663

Sept. 1st.  Up pretty betimes, and after a little at my viall to my office, where we sat all the morning, and I got my bill among others for my carved work (which I expected to have paid for myself) signed at the table, and hope to get the money back again, though if the rest had not got it paid by the King, I never intended nor did desire to have him pay for my vanity.  In the evening my brother John coming to me to complain that my wife seems to be discontented at his being here, and shows him great disrespect; so I took and walked with him in the garden, and discoursed long with him about my affairs, and how imprudent it is for my father and mother and him to take exceptions without great cause at my wife, considering how much it concerns them to keep her their friend and for my peace; not that I would ever be led by her to forget or desert them in the main, but yet she deserves to be pleased and complied with a little, considering the manner of life that I keep her to, and how convenient it were for me to have Brampton for her to be sent to when I have a mind or occasion to go abroad to Portsmouth or elsewhere.  So directed him how to behave himself to her, and gave him other counsel; and so to my office, where late.
