Ha, ha, ha. The thing makes me smile! A purty gal in love with a han'some man like Devil-Bug! She used to say she loved me cause I did'nt deceive my looks! For one year, me and that gal was man an' wife!"" (188). Mabel is the daughter of Ellen and she is also brought to Monk-Hall. She is brought by Parson Pyne, her "father, who wants to drug her and then take advantage of her. .
When Devil-Bug sees Mabel for the first time, he again shows a different side of himself. He is completely taken aback by how much Mabel resembles Ellen, and one can see the love that Devil-Bug posses for Ellen in the way he treats Mabel: "'Ellen!' he said in a low and softened voice, whose gentleness of tone presented a strange contrast to the harsh deformity of his visage." (251). Then the reader continues to see this effect that Ellen and therefore Mable have on Devil-Bug through the rest of the novel. He does everything to try to protect Mabel from harm by men and to set her up in high society as being Livingstone's daughter. Devil Bug is capable of love and caring for someone.
Drawing from these opposing characteristics, Lippard is showing that the trials of the past can turn people into what they are supposed to become, and also reveal the ugliness that people contain. Devil-bug is portrayed in this way by Lippard through this description: "Deep in the heart of this monster, like a withered flower blooming from the very corruption of the grave, the memory of that fair girl, who, eighteen years ago, had sought the shelter of Monk-Hall, lay hidden, fast entwined around the life-cords of his deformed soul." Ellen is the fair girl, and these feelings that he had with her do exist, especially affections and warmth. .
Lippard describes Devil-Bug as a monster, though he alludes that there is a reason for it. Lippard is exploring how Devil-Bug's soul has been deformed from the things in his life, and that these feelings are hidden deep down in the heart that he does have.
