Mrs Burgess and her daughter drank tea at my house. In the evening Mr Bannister and myself smoked a pipe or two with Thomas Durrant, purely to keep Mr Bannister from quarrelling, his wife big with child, lame of one hand and very much in liquor, being out in the middle of the street at tennis among a parcel of girls, boys etc. Oh, an odious sight, and that more so to a husband.
