Excerpt from Rosalind and Helen: A Lecture
Rosalind and Helen are two young mothers at the time of their introduction to us, seemingly both of English middle-class birth, though of Helen's parents nothing is said. Rosalind, living with her mother, in her father's absence from England, has formed an attach ment for a young man, who is about to marry her. When the pair are already at the altar her father suddenly appears from abroad, and forbids the banns on the ground that the bridegroom is his son by another mother than Rosalind's. The youth falls dead, but Rosalind lives on in self-contained misery. Her father dies leaving his wife and daughter unprovided for; and Rosalind in sheer despair, and for her mother's sake, marries a man whom she positively loathes 1n the sequel, if not from the first. She has three children, allof whom far their father like the plague. He in turn dies, leaving a will under which his widow is abominably traduced, and his children only provided for on condi tion of absolute separation from their mother. Rosalind accepts the position of a childless outcast rather than expose her offspring to the horrors of poverty.
