She had intended to accompany her father in his exile to France, but was dissuaded by Sarah Churchill, chief lady of the bed-chamber (afterwards the imperious Duchess of Marlborough), for whom she always had a romantic attachment.

Dongan managed the relations between the English, French, and Indians with dexterity.
He was not deceived by the false professions of the French rulers or the wiles of
