From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

... coming homeward again, saw my door and hatch open, left so by Luce
our cookmaid; which so vexed me, that I did give her a kick in the our
entry and offered a blow at her, and was seen doing so by Sir W.
Penn's footboy, which did vex me to the heart because I know he will
be telling their family of it, though I did put on presently a very
pleasant face to the boy and spoke kindly to him as one without
passion, so as it may be he might not think I was angry; but yet I was
troubled at it.
