Description:Excerpt from Letters and Miscellanies of Robert Louis Stevenson: Weir of Herminston; The Plays; Fables In all these generations, while a male Rutherford was in the saddle with his lads, or brawling in a change house, there would be always a white-faced wife im mured at home in the old peel or the later mansion house. It seemed this succession of martyrs bided long, but took their vengeance in the end, and that was in the person of the last descendant, Jean. She bore the name of the Rutherfords, but she was the daughter of their trembling wives. At the first she was not wholly without charm. Neighbours recalled in her, as a child, a strain of elfin wilfulness, gentle little mutinies, sad little gaieties, even a morning gleam of beauty that was not to be fulfilled. She withered in the growing, and (whether it was the sins of her sires or the sorrows of her mothers) came to her maturity depressed, and, as it were, defaced; no blood of life in her, no grasp or gaiety; pious, anxious, tender, tearful, and incompetent.
