She posed as Jael for Conway Dalrymple, whom she later married.

"... certainly a handsome young woman. She was fair and large.... Her features were regular, and her full, clear eyes had a brilliance of their own, looking at you always steadfastly and boldly, though very seldom pleasantly. Her mouth would have been beautiful had it not been too strong for feminine beauty. Her teeth were perfect,- too perfect,-looking like miniature walls of carved ivory.... Her nose and; chin were finely chiselled, and her head stood well on her shoulders ... but there was about her nothing of feminine softness" - The Last Chronicle of Barset.
