    Sarah was Lord Sandwich’s housekeeper
    Very little information available, but this from Tomalin:
    “In 1660 Pepys still took his membership of the Sandwich household absolutely for granted; for years he had eaten and slept among the Sandwich servants whenever he chose to, and he still indulged in casual sexual familiarities with the housekeeper Sarah.”

    Sarah (Sandwich’s housekeeper) & Sam…

    7 November 1662:
    “…hearing that Mrs. Sarah is married, I did go up stairs again and joy her and kiss her, she owning of it.”

    7 September 1662: “…and Sarah above, whither I went up to her and played and talked with her…”

    15 June 1660: ” My Lord resolves to have Sarah again.” — with a note from L&M: “A former housekeeper; in trouble in 1657 for misbehaviour…” — presumably the same Sarah.
