English: Illustration for chapter 11 of The Hampdens by Harriet Martineau. Illustration first published in Once a Week magazine (Volume 8, page 393); this scan taken from the book publication (page 132). Henrietta is seeking refuge from the misery caused by being on the opposite side of a critical political disagreement (soon to be a civil war) from the rest of her family and her husband. "Henrietta recoiled from the thought of home .... She besought leave to visit Sir Oliver .... For a few weeks, she might, as she said to herself, find some peace of mind .... She therefore travelled to Biggin, with her husband for her escort, on one of the brightest days of July .... During the latter stages of the journey, the horses had started more than once, as horses from a distance were apt to do, Harry was assured, in the Fen country, where the fowlers hide themselves in the sedges or behind the banks, to the terror of strange horses."
