 London society of the 1600s already had a stereotypical image of the Dutch prostitute - indeed the most celebrated brothel in London was called Holland's Leguer - whereby "leguer" referred to a military encampment.The character Mary Faugh - who runs the brothel - admits that she is a member of the Family of Love and the vintner Mulligrub and his wife are also identified as such.This linking of the Family of Love with promiscuity was common during this period although there is little evidence that the Familists (as members were called) actually practised free love.
