PEPYs AND HIS WIFE.


Black Eye.
Mrs. Pepys was a delicate woman who
suffered from frequent attacks of indis-
position. Pepys was always most SYM
pathetic and kind to her at such times.
He had his meals by her bedside and
''comforted her and pitied herr and
showed some of the aiost lov4be traits
in his character Once, while riding to
Brampton, she was taken very ILL., and on
alighting at an inn at PuntingfOrd she
became so pale that Pepys was lin great
horror, thinking she would have died and
having" he said. "a great tryall of my
love and passion for her"
Yet he was occasionally very rough and
even cruel to her. Twice, when she
spoke GROSSLY to him, he pulled her by the
nose and hurt her so much that the poor
thing cried.
On another occasion when they were IN
bed, owing to some remissness on the
part OF one Of the servants about whom
Pepys complained. Mrs. Pepys made a
cutting remark, which So exasperated
him that he struck her violently in the
faee, giving her black eye. She cried
out and was in great pain, 'but yet her
spirit was SUCH" he said admiringly, "as
to endeavCr to bite and scratch me- But
l coying" (caressing with the hand,
''made her leave crying and sent for but
ter and parsley and friends presently one
with another, and I up vexed at my
heart to think at what l had DONE for
she was forced to lay a poultice or some
thing TO her eye all day and is blark, and
the people of the house observed it."
However. Mrs. Pepys was too forgving
to bear malice, for the same day he stat
ed her eye is very bad, but she is in
very good temper to me- She was un-
able TO go out for a fortnight, and when
Pepys went to a dinner party at Sir VIII
liam Batten's at Christmas time she
stopped at home and played games with
her servants.
Although docile and amable enough
as a rule, she could show temper on oc-
casion, and it then generally ended in her
husband giving way to her. Nothing an
noyed her more than his meanness about
her clothes. Once Lady Sandwich re-
monstrated with him about this and
made him ashamed of himself.-Weg
