THE FIRST OF APRIL Among children it is everywhere the custom to make April-fools. In Berlin the little ones are sent to the apothecary's to fetch crabs' blood or gnats' fat. This custom is prolonged to the end of the month.

Tuesday 31 March 1663 I lay long talking with my wife about my father’s coming, which I expect to-day, coming up with the horses brought up for my Lord. Up and to my office, where doing business all the morning, and at Sir W. Batten’s, whither Mr. Gauden and many others came to us about business. Then home to dinner, where W. Joyce came, and he still a talking impertinent fellow. So to the office again, and hearing by and by that Madam Clerke, Pierce, and others were come to see my wife I stepped in and staid a little with them, and so to the office again, where late, and so home to supper and to bed. My Lord: Sir Edward Mountagu (Earl of Sandwich) Alderman Sir Denis Gauden (Navy Victualler) “talking impertinent fellow” William Joyce Brother of Anthony Joyce, both tallow chandlers who married sisters, Mary and Kate Fenner, who were cousins of Sam. Tallow chandlers were the candle-makers and sellers of 17th-century England. The term breaks down simply: a chandler is someone who makes or deals in candles (from the French chandelle), while tallow is the rendered fat from cattle or sheep, which was the cheap, common material used for everyday candles before cheaper alternatives like spermaceti (whales) or the later dominance of wax for the wealthy. Gerrit Dou: Young Woman with a Lighted Candle at a Window 1658. Gerrit Dou (1613–1675) trained briefly as a printmaker before entering Rembrandt’s Leiden studio in 1628 for three years. He became an independent master and developed a meticulous, highly detailed style typical of the Leiden school. He specialised in small “niche pieces” like intimate window scenes with figures framed by ledges and curtains.
