26 mai 1663 :

Ce jour est absent de DIA, sans doute parce que Pepys

n’y ferait que de parler de sa jalousie :

« Nothing could get the business out of my head, I fearing that this afternoon, by my wife’s sending every[one] abroad and knowing that I must be at the office, she hath appointed [Pembleton] to come. This is my devilish jealousy ; which I pray God may be false, but it makes a very hell in my mind ; which the God of Heaven remove, or I shall be very unhappy. So to the office, where we sat a while. By and by, my mind being in great trouble, I went home to see how things were ; and there I find as I doubted, Mr Pembleton with my wife and nobody else in the house, which made me almost mad. And Lord, how my jealousy wrought so far, that I went satfly up to see whether any of the beds were out of order or no, which I found not ; but that did not content me, but I stayed all the evening walking, and though anon my wife came up to me and would have spoke of business to me, yet I construed it to be but impudence ; and though my heart was full, yet I did say nothing, being in great doubt what to do. So at night suffered them to go all to bed, and late put myself to bed in great discontent, and so to sleep. »
