Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Women and Men, chapter 11 (search)
oor As if she trod her sailor's deck In stormy Labrador. What a fascinating thing, after all, is strength in a woman! With what delight all readers turned from the weak or wicked heroine of Thackeray's earlier novels to his superb young Ethel Newcome, strong of will and proud as they who would have domineered over her. Scott, with his love of chivalry, always flung some attribute of courage about the women whom he meant to win our hearts-or he failed if he did not. Even his graceful Ellen Douglas is incapable of actual cowardice. I think with anguish, or, if e'er A Douglas knew the word, with fear. So, in the Scottish ballads, it takes something more than a weakling to spring up behind young Lochinvar in the saddle, or to be owre the Border and awaa with Jock oa Hazeldean. Shakespeare does not love to paint characterless heroines: I grant I am a woman; but, withal, A woman that Lord Brutus took to wife; I grant I am a woman; but, withal, A woman well reputed-Cato's daughter.

His Majesty conversed for a long time with an American marquise, all in white — the same lady whose beauty and elegance were remarked upon at the ball at the Tuileries. Mrs. S — and Mr. and Mrs. Bigelow assisted at the fete. Mr. Bigelow, in a Venetian mantle of purple silk, turned up with red; Mrs. Bigelow as Ellen Douglas, in "The Lady of the Lake"--a very becoming Scotch costume, of rather more fragile materials than those worn by Scott's heroine in her romantic excursions. It was composed of short petticoats of muslin, with narrow quilled ruffles forming a border to a tartan plaid skirt; the Highland scarf, attached at the shoulder with a large brooch, and falling on the opposite side; a Scotch cap, with an eagle plume. A gilded car, carried in the hand, gave a picturesque character to this pleasing n
