This portrait is drawn, no doubt, with an unfriendly hand; and, in Hogg's biography, each of its sarcastic touches is sustained with merciless reiteration, whenever the mention of Eliza's name is necessary.
The plaintive melody rose and fell like the waves on the shore; and Rita would curl herself like a panther in the sun, and murmur with pleasure, and call for more. Then, perhaps, Margaret would sing that lovely ballad of Hogg's, which begins,
It was two hours before daylight when they entered this park; when morning broke, they had not yet succeeded in making their way out of it. Hogg's own story must be read, to learn how, and at what dire peril to the searchers, Borthwick's flock was at length found.
Brandon said nothing, not, however, removing his eyes from Hogg's face. Hogg was all amiable geniality. "I know it must be against the grain, Archdeacon, having to deal with the likes of me. You've always counted yourself a strike above us country-folk, haven't you, and quite natural too.
Got some books, etc., which I wanted to make up the Saint Helena affair. Had Hogg's nephew here as a transcriber, a modest and well-behaved young man clever, too, I think.

"Lord, what will all the people say, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor!"
So home, it being the last play now I am to see till a fortnight hence, I being from the last night entered into my vowes for the year coming on. Here I met with the good newes of Hogg's bringing in two prizes more to Plymouth, which if they prove but any part of them, I hope, at least, we shall be no losers by them.
Here Sir W. Pen did show the Duke of York a letter of Hogg's about a prize he drove in within the Sound at Plymouth, where the Vice-Admiral claims her.
Eliza, rightly from her point of view, thought it necessary to stand between Hogg and her sister. It seems far more likely that Hogg's gentlemanly instincts would have led him to treat his friend's wife with respect than that he should have really given cause for the grave suspicions which Shelley writes of in subsequent letters to Miss Hitchener.
I must confine myself to a few quotations and a barren abstract, referring my readers to the ever-memorable pages 48 286 of Hogg's first volume, for the life that cannot be transferred to these.
