"as soon as i entered the house, my wife took me in her arms, and kissed me, at which, having not been used to the touch of that odious animal for so many years, i fell in a swoon for almost an hour. at the time i am writing it is five years since my last return to england: during the first year i could not endure my wife or children in my presence, the very smell of them was intolerable, much less could i suffer them to eat in the same room. to this hour they dare not presume to touch my bread, or drink out of the same cup, neither was i ever able to let one of them take me by the hand. the first money i laid out was to buy two young stone-horses, which i keep in a good stable, and next to them the groom is my greatest favourite; for i feel my spirits revived by the smell he contracts in the stable. my horses understand me tolerably well; i converse with them at least four hours every day. they are strangers to bridle or saddle; they live in great amity with me, and friendship to each other.
