That was the end of Herminia Barton's literary aspirations. She

had given the people of her best, and the people rejected it. Now

she gave them of her most mediocre; the nearest to their own level

of thought and feeling to which her hand could reduce itself. And

the people accepted it. The rest of her life was hack-work; by

that, she could at least earn a living for Dolores. Her "Antigone,

for the Use of Ladies' Schools" still holds its own at Girton and

Somerville.
