An independent brave young creature, exposing herself thoughtlessly in her reckless innocence, is the victim for them.

They will bring all society down on her with one of their explosive sly words appearing so careless, the cowards.

I say without hesitation, her conduct with regard to Kirby, the Old Buccaneer, as he was called, however indefensible in itself, warrants her at heart an innocent young woman, much to be pitied.

And of him too! and their daughter Carinthia Jane was the pair of them, as to that, and so was Chillon John, the son.
Those critics quoting Nymney should look at the portrait of her in the Long Saloon of Cresset Castle, where she stands in blue and white, completely dressed, near a table supporting a couple of holster pistols, and then let them ask themselves whether they would speak of her so if her little hand could move.
Well, and so the tale of her swim across the Shannon river and back drove the young Earl of Cresset straight over to Ireland to propose for her, he saying; that she was the girl to suit his book; not allowing her time to think of how much he might be the man to suit hers.
