Friday 26 June 1668
All the morning doing business at the office. At noon, with my Fellow-Officers, to the Dolphin, at Sir G. Carteret’s charge, to dinner, he having some accounts examined this morning. All the afternoon we all at Sir W. Pen’s with him about the Victuallers’ accounts, and then in the evening to Charing Cross, and there took up my wife at her tailor’s, and so home and to walk in the garden, and then to sup and to bed.

One imagines that after all the play-going in his wife's absence, to say nothing of his holiday jaunt to Bath and Bristol, he has a backlog of work to get through.

"Ah hem...Yes. As you can see from these last few days, Bess...And I am recording in my journal...My life continues in that solid, sober course from which it has never varied or wavered. Yes."
Oh, brother...Bess rolls eyes. If I didn't feel so sorry about those bug-eyes of his...

Many visits to Unthanke's in recent days for Bess. Sam trying to cheer her up? I hope we get descriptions of the clothes she is having made.
