But there’s a pair of actual historical lovers I didn’t bring into these pages, for they were too humble to know anyone like Mary or Kit and too desperately poor to afford tickets to a country assembly. Jeremiah Brandreth led the Pentrich marchers, fired the shot that killed the farm servant, and was hanged the following November. His wife, Ann, walked from Sutton-in-Ashfield (near Nottingham) to Derby to bid him farewell. In his last letter to her, he wrote:
I feel no fear in passing through the shadow of death to eternal life; so I hope you will make the promise of God as I have, to your own soul, as we may meet in Heaven… My beloved… this is the account of what I send to you-one work bag, two balls of worsted and one of cotton, and a handkerchief, an old pair of stockings and a shirt, and the letter I received from my beloved sister…
