A very interesting lecture at St.Olave's Church in Hart Street in the City, on the marriage of Samuel and Elizabeth Pepys.
They were an interesting couple; he married her when she was very young, and they had no children. He liked other women, though it would appear that his relationship with them, for whatever reason, went no further than just liking them. But that did noty stop him constantly chasing them.
Elizabeth Pepys was an intelligent, forceful woman - today she would probably have had a successful career, but in those days her life revolved around little but looking after the house and keeping her husband happy.
