Of course she had seen Harriet too, in 1812, when she came with Shelley to call on Godwin.

Elinor and Harriet, however, are completely unlike.

This paragraph, which is much expanded from _F of F--B_, may be compared with the discussion of good and evil in _Julian and Maddalo_ and with _Prometheus Unbound_ and _A Defence of Poetry_.
[60] In the revision of this passage Mathilda's sense of her pollution is intensified; for example, by addition of "infamy and guilt was mingled with my portion." [61] Some phrases of self-criticism are added in this paragraph.
[62] In _F of F--B_ this quotation is used in the laudanum scene, just before Level's (Woodville's) long speech of dissuasion.
[63] The passage "air, & to suffer ...

my compassionate friend" is on a slip of paper pasted across the page.
[64] This phrase sustains the metaphor better than that in _F of F--B_: "puts in a word." [65] This entire paragraph is added to _F of F--B_; it is in rough draft in _S-R fr_.

[71] This speech is greatly improved in style over that in _F of F--B_, more concise in expression (though somewhat expanded), more specific.
