Note 72 — Chapter VI
Reading edition
Separation took place about the middle of June, 1814; she destroyed herself, November 10, 1816. At one time there had been ugly rumors that she was untrue to him; and there is some reason to believe that Shelley once entertained this belief, but there is no adequate testimony to that end; Godwin’s dixit should not count for very much. Dowden leaves the matter in doubt.
