The quotes from Dickens' novel appears to refer to her recent ordeal, Daily Mail reported.

Along with nine other spies, Chapman was returned to Moscow last Friday after being arrested in the US on the suspicion of working with a Russian spy ring.

Her father-in-law Kevin Chapman had recently claimed that she was “not some Mata Hari”. Comparing Anna to the Dutch honeytrap agent executed for espionage for Germany in the First World War, he said, “She's simply not some Mata Hari, she can't be... she's just an ordinary girl.”

British Home Secretary Theresa May has banned her entry in Britain, where she has family. Britain's intelligence agency M15 has been investigating her stay in Britain before she moved to New York.
