Accordingly she rose very early one morning; she wrote a pretty and grateful note to Miss Starke, who was fast asleep, left it on the table, and before any one was astir, stole from the house, her little bundle on her arm. She lingered an instant at the garden-gate, with a remorseful sentiment, a feeling that she had ill-repaid the cold and prim protection that Miss Starke had shown her.
Her husband was the most powerful Frank in all the Sultan's dominions, and it was a joy to her to see with what diligence he made search for the lost youth. Herdegen, indeed, had ill-repaid her childish love, yet she knew of no nobler revenge than to lay him under the debt of thanks to her and her husband for release and ransom.
His report, published early in 1839, is a landmark in the history of British colonial administration.

The situation suggested to her a great devotion ill-repaid, a friendship, of which the strong tyrannous man took advantage. Why should he behave as though all that happened ill with regard to his book was somehow Mrs. Burgoyne's fault? Claim all her time and strength overstrain and overwork her and then make her tacitly responsible if anything went amiss!
She was only a child, not much older than the one up-stairs, when her dying mother had placed her baby-brother in her arms, saying: "He is all I have to leave you, Amanda. I know you love him. Don't ever be harsh or unforgiving to him." How had she kept her trust? She had loved him. She had worked early and worked late for him. She had given up everything; but she had been ill-repaid.
