«
Up, and my wife still every day as ill as she is all
night ; will rise to see me outdoors, telling me plainly that she dares not let
me see the girl ; and so I out to the office, where all the morning ; and so
home to dinner, where I find my wife mightily troubled again, more then ever,
and she tells me that it is from her examining the girl and getting a
confession now from her of all, even to the very tocando su thing with my hand
– which doth mightily trouble me, as not being able to foresee the
consequences of it as to our future peace together. So my wife would not go
down to dinner, reproaching me with my unkindness and perjury, I having denied
my ever kissing her – as also with all her old kindnesses to me, and my
ill-using of her from the beginning, and the many temptations she hath refused
out of faithfulness to me. »
