The life that Mary lead with George Stoney is one of those tales that you shudder as you read - you just want her to have a better life than the one she leads, where Stoney beats her, tells all the tradesman that he's broke (which is apparently where being 'stoney broke' comes from), even more than his contemporaries.

And then she does finally leave him, and even goes through getting a divorce, which would have been very hard, and very scandalous for the time. A very good read!
