This intelligence filled Mary with more anxiety than she chose to manifest to her unsympathising surroundings; Cis meanwhile had been assisted to mount by Humfrey, who told her that Mrs. Curll was thought to be doing well, but that there were fears for the babe.
It may be suspected that the preface to the "Miscellanies" was written to prepare the public for such an incident; and, to strengthen this opinion, James Worsdale, a painter, who was employed in clandestine negotiations, but whose voracity was very doubtful, declared that he was the messenger who carried, by Pope's direction, the books to Curll.
Carrying his formidable manuscript with him, and how formidable the manuscript which melts down into three solid octavo volumes is, only writers and publishers know, he knocked at the gate of that terrible fortress from which Lintot and Curll and Tonson looked down on the authors of an older generation.
In a short introduction to the piece, Curll explained how it happened to fall into his hands. "I am likewise to inform my Female Criticks, that they stand indebted to the entertaining Pen of Mrs. Eliza Haywood for the following History of Clarina.
Then will we keep your copy, and you shall fold and prepare our own for our sealing." "Will not your Majesty hear it read over ere it pass out of your hands?" asked Curll. "Even so," returned Mary, who really was delighted with the pungency of her own composition. "Mayhap we may have a point or two to add."
There appeared in March, 1716, a volume bearing the title Court Poems, the authorship being attributed to "A Lady of Quality," who, it soon became known, was Lady Mary. The book was issued by Roberts, who had received the three sets of verses contained in it from the notorious piratical publisher, Edmund Curll. How the manuscript "fell" into the hands of Curll it is not easy to imagine.
In due time Chartley was reached, and the first thing the Queen did on dismounting was to hurry to visit poor Barbara Curll, who had on her increasing illness been removed to one of the guest-chambers, where the Queen now found her, still in much distress about her husband, who was in close imprisonment in Walsingham's house, and had not been allowed to send her any kind of message; and in still more immediate anxiety about her new-born infant, who did not look at all as if its little life would last many hours.

Here Barbara Curll pressed forward, asking wildly for her husband; and Wade replying, with brutal brevity, that he was taken to London to be examined for his practices before the Council, the poor lady, well knowing that examination often meant torture, fell back in a swoon.
In the Wycherley correspondence, Pope omits Wycherley's remonstrance to him and publishes his own remonstrance to Caryll as a letter from himself to Wycherley. From that time onwards Pope spared no effort in getting his correspondence "surreptitiously" published. Curll took a number of copies of the book with him to the Lords, and it was discovered that no such letter was included.
