		Such a wife was a valuable acquisition to Thrale's rising importance; doubtless her wit and spirit were the soul of that motley fashionable group, half literary, half aristocratic, which his wealth and generous hospitality drew together to Streatham.
		Thrale took to Johnson, and that 'figure large and well formed,' that `countenance of the cast of an ancient statue,' as Boswell has it, gravely humorous, began to appear weekly at Mr.
		Thrale's table; and when the family removed to Streatham, they persuaded the lexicographer to accompany them, because he was ill, and sadly in want of kind attention.

	HESTER LYNCH PIOZZI - LoveToKnow Article on HESTER LYNCH PIOZZI
		In 1763 she was married to Henry Thrale, a rich Southwark brewer, whose house was at Streatham on the south-east corner of Tooting Bee Common.
		There was very little sympathy between the lively girl and Thrale, who was thirteen years her senior, but gradually she drew round her a distinguished circle of friends.
		In 1781 Mr Thrale died, and Dr Johnson helped the widow with her business arrangements, advising her to keep on the brewery, until she " cured his honest heart of its incipient passion for trade, by letting him into some, and only some, of its mysteries." The brewery was finally sold for 135,000.

		Thrale's vivacious, clever wife Hester kept him amused (often drinking endless cups of tea with him deep into the night).
		Mrs Thrale, married for money to a man she did not love, much of the time pregnant (she had 12 children, of whom eight died in infancy), is also made a melancholy character, sharp-tongued (as contemporaries testified) and resentful even of her privileges.
		She includes Johnson's opinion, recorded in Mrs Thrale's Anecdotes, that: "Melancholy and otherwise insane People are always sensual; the misery of their Minds naturally enough forces them to recur for Comfort to their Bodies." Johnson is a hungry intelligence weighed down by his body, clumsy and angry as old age takes grip.
