We don't really know what happens.
We think it peters out.
She disappears in the archive.
And eventually, by the early 1820s, she does make her way back to Britain, where she tries to exhibit as Caribou again, keeping the hustle up.
And she's brought all her American costumes from the stage and stuff.
And everyone in Bath and Bristol is like, no, we're not doing this again.
It's too soon.
Yeah, exactly.
Nobody's recovered from this.
No, we're not doing it.
And so she sort of falls into a life of obscurity.
We find her again...
in the late later sort of i know 16 of the 1860s i think where she is married she works as a leech seller so really the lowest of the low you know her and her husband wake up early in the morning with the other leech sellers and they sort of trudge out into the bogs outside of bristol and the leeches you know you pull your skirts up the leeches attached to your legs oh fuck oh that's grim
