    Description of Jane Turner
    from Bryant’s Pepys bio:

    “Jane Turner… who had been so kind to him as a child… had inherited her father’s house in Salisbury Court, where she lived with her husband (a wealthy Yorkshire lawyer), and a brood of merry children… Mrs Turner had lost nothing of her youthful taste for larks and escapades or of her kindliness, though the latter had taken a slightly devotional turn; she was a great pillar of St Bride’s Church.”
