- It has been suggested that a possible miscarriage while in France and mis-management by a female midwife caused a streptococcal infection which led to a severe rheumatic fever and left Robinson disabled for the rest of her life. It was at this point that Robinson gave up her career in acting and turned more to literary pursuits. (FScottJuly12.)
