		Lady Holberton is not a little proud of her Vidocq; but I have obtained one far superior to hers, one addressed to myself so piquant and gallant too.
		Lady Holberton smiled through her tears, as she assured me that the police, old and new, had been enlisted in her service an hour after the discovery of her loss, while communications had been opened with the municipal governments of Brussels, Paris, and Vienna, on the same subject.

		According to the biographical article I read here, Grizell’s father later had to go into hiding in his own familly’s burial vault because he was suspected of being part of a plot to assassinate Charles II and his brother James.
		Grizell “would slip items from off the dinner table and carry them, under the cover of night, to her father’s hiding place.” The situation in Scotland became so difficult that the entire family (including all eighteen children) fled to Holland and lived there for three years.
		There Grizell renewed an acquaintance with the son of the prisoner to whom she had delivered the letter at age twelve, and she managed to get her parents, in spite of their initial reluctance, to consent to her marriage to George Baillie.

		Lady Charlotte Susan Maria Campbell (later Bury), daughter of the fifth Duke of Argyll, sister of the sixth and seventh dukes, and half-sister of two Dukes of Hamilton, was more closely connected to the high Scottish aristocracy than any other woman writer of her era.
		When, for example, Bury relates the story of her half-sister Lady Derby, who was abandoned by both husband and lover after a flamboyantly scandalous affair, she can at times lapse into a sort of melodramatic primness.
		Her first volume, in particular, might be seen as the literary equivalent of the pink satin bonnet that annoyed Elizabeth Mure: charmingly feminine and so extremely fashionable that simply by looking at it one can gather a number of details about the tastes of the day.

		Above all cultivate instant obedience to the tiniest call of duty; model yourself on Lady Grizel Baillie, who could say after eighty years of practicing what she preached, that she should have felt ashamed if she had been unable to make herself perform at the moment the duty that was proper to be done."
		Don John of Austria, one of the few perfect knights of history, is the hero, and the lady, Dolores, stands before us with something of the dignity of a Shakesperian heroine.
		We are not sure that we think it well for the Little Lady to listen to stories till "the middle of the night," that is to say, till nine o'clock; but perhaps the Story Teller was to blame.

		From the short history of this lady, prefixed to her poems, and from the amiable spirit disclosed in her productions, we can entertain no doubt that Mrs.
		Scot was an interesting object to her friends: but the virtues of domestic life do not constitute the merit of a writer; and the slight verses now brought before the Public would have been more respectably stationed, had they still dwelt in a private bureau.
