Then the biographer attacks Harriet Shelley's honor by authority of random and unverified gossip scavengered from a group of people whose very names make a person shudder: Mary Godwin, mistress to Shelley; her part-sister, discarded mistress of Lord Byron; Godwin, the philosophical tramp, who gathers his share of it from a shadow that is to say, from a person whom he shirks out of naming.
Her witnesses have all disappeared, yet we see her summoned in her grave-clothes to plead for the life of her character, without the help of an advocate, before a disqualified judge and a packed jury. Harriet Shelley wrote her distressed letter on the 7th of July. On the 28th her husband ran away with Mary Godwin and her part-sister Claire to the Continent.
After Shelley ran off with her part-sister Mary, she became the guest of the pair, and contributed a natural child to their nursery Allegra. Lord Byron was the father. We have named the several members and advantages of the new paradise in Skinner Street, with its crazy book-shop underneath.
