St Peter A Bachelor
IN the list of benefactors to Peter-House is Lady Mary Ramsay, who is
reported to have offered a very large property, nearly equal to a new
foundation to this college, on condition that the name should be changed
to Peter and Mary's; but she was thwarted in her intention by Dr.
Soame, then master. Peter, said the crabbed humorist, has been too
long a bachelor to think of a female companion in his old days.
