text_original: When she gave herself to Imlay without wait  ing for a minister's blessing or a legal permit, she acted in strict adherence to her moral ideals ; and this at once places her in a far difierent rank from that of the Mrs. Robinsons and Mrs. Jordans, with whom men have been too ready to class her. To Mary love was literally her whole existence^ and fidelity a virtue to be cultivated above all others.
