So home mighty hot, and my mind mightily out of
order, so as I could not eat my supper, or sleep almost all
night; though I spent till twelve at night with W. Hewer to
consider of our business: and we find it not only most free from
any blame of our side, but so horrid scandalous on the other, to
make so groundless a complaint, and one so shameful to him, that
it could not but let me see that there is no need of my being
troubled; but such is the weakness of my nature that I could not
help it, which vexes me, showing me how unable I am to live with
difficulties.
10th. Up, and to the office, where busy all the morning:
Middleton not there, so no words or looks of him. At noon home
to dinner; and so to the office, and there all the afternoon
busy. And at night W. Hewer home with me; and we think we have
got matter enough to make Middleton appear a coxcomb. But it
troubled me to have Sir W. Warren meet me at night going out of
the office home, and tell me that Middleton do intend to complain
to the Duke of York: but, upon consideration of the business, I
did go to bed satisfied that it was best for me that he should;
and so my trouble was over, and to bed and slept well.
