He had been complying for about a year with invitations from Henry and Hester Lynch Thrale, a newly-wed pair with a fortune made in brewing, a first baby nicknamed Queeney, unusually eatable dinners and an intent to lionise, when he was overtaken by what it maddened him to think was the madness he had feared.
Mrs Thrale had married Mr Thrale on five minutes' acquaintance, at the wish of her mother, and although she respected her husband's solidity and he her fortune and her intellect, neither ever pretended anything resembling passion for the other.
Had he thrown aside caution and spoken the words in his head, he would have confided that Mrs Thrale had sparkling eyes, narrow shoulders, penetrating wit, scholarship of the female kind, a favourable interest in himself and a leakage of milk from her right breast.

 Hester Thrale Piozzi
Hester Thrale Piozzi was a well known member of London society during her first marriage to Henry Thrale.
In 1784, two years after her first husband passed away, Piozzi married an Italian musician by the name Gabriel Piozzi, after her first husband.

U is for Underhand - Speculation exists over a possible masochistic relationship between Johnson and one of his closest female friends - Hester Thrale.
Although Hester was married to Henry Thrale, a businessman and MP, there is some evidence to suggest a deeper side to their friendship existed.
A line in Johnson's diary in 1771, refers to some "mad reflection on shackles and hand-cuffs" while allegedly another letter to Hester, written in French, repeatedly alludes to bondage.
