It was not so, however, and our hostess shared much of our after fortune, and now shares our exile.

Her fate, too, is harder than ours.

We are occasionally cheered by public approval, by the sympathy and admiration of every lover of liberty, whereas her name is never spoken.

She has fallen from a position of comparative affluence, lost her independence (I use the word in its practical worldly sense), and is doomed to toil for her daily bread.

Of all the vicissitudes of fortune in which the attempt of which I write resulted, there is not one that has given me more pain than that of Margaret Quinlan, the lady (who has higher claims to that title ?) to whom I have alluded.
