Excerpt from The Hand of Ethelberta, Vol. 2 of 2: A Comedy in Chapters
She was not sure that Neigh would stand the test of her revelations. It would be possible to lead him to marry her without revealing anything - the events of the last few days had shown her that - yet Ethel berta's honesty shrank from the safe course of holding her tongue. It might be a pleasant surprise to many a modern gentleman of birth to find himself allied with a lady, none of whose ancestors had ever pandered to a court, lost an army, taken a bribe, oppressed a com munity, or broken a bank; but the added disclosure that, in avoiding these normal stains, her kindred had worked and continued to work with their hands for bread, might lead such an one to consider that the novelty was dearly purchased by a mover in circles from which the greatest ostraciser of all is servitude.
