I happened to go into her sitting-room, one morning, when she was out, and found my picture hanging with its face to the wall. I turned it round. Directly across the mouth was pasted a white label, on which I saw neatly printed in India-ink, 'Queen of the Deplorables. I took it home with me, and hung it in my library as a lesson to me for all future time.

St. Real's novel was published in 1672 and has been a favorite quarry of the dramatist.
