Pepys' description of Lady Anne Boyle Montagu (1625 - 1671) speaks volumes:
"My Lady Hinchingbroke I cannot say is a beauty, nor ugly; but is altogether a comely lady enough, and seems very good-humoured, ..."
"... my Lady Hinchingbroke I find a very sweet-natured and well-disposed lady, a lover of books and pictures, and of good understanding."
Anne is Robert Boyle FRS's niece, so despite the upheavals to her education during the Civil Wars, we should not be surprised that she was intelligent.
"They are very good condition, wise and chearfull people," mother-in-law Jemima Crew Montagu, Countess of Sandwich wrote just after the wedding. "She" (the bride) "hath a very fine free kind way of writing so have they all, something Mr. Boiles styll."1
