In the following weary days of suffering and weakness, she realized that she was very human, and not at all the exalted heroine that she had unconsciously come to regard herself. The suitor whom she had thought to dismiss in contempt and anger, and to have done with, could not be banished from her mind.
"And where has she come from, and what is her name?" rejoined Henry, evidently becoming interested in the fate of our heroine. "Her home is in Buffalo," replied Martha, "and her name is Kate M'Carthy." "By heaven!" exclaimed Evans, leaping to his feet as if the house were falling, "where is she? where is she? Lead me to her at once!"
My Euphrasia was, I am sure, a pitiful picture of an antique heroine, in spite of Macdonald's enthusiasm for the "attitude" in the last scene, and my cousin Horace Twiss's comical verdict of approbation, that it was all good, but especially the scene where "you tip it the tyrant."

It is disappointing to the agitator to find the question dropping out of sight in later verse. In the Victorian period it comes most plainly to the surface in Browning, and while the exquisite praise of his
The heroine, in common with the hero, has her ambition to be of use in the world to do some good: and the task of reclaiming a bad man is extremely seductive to good women. Dear to their tender bosoms as old china is a bad man they are mending!
Earlier, Scott would not have made René quite such a mere old fool, and could have taken the slight touch of pasteboard and sawdust out of the Black Priest of St. Paul's.
