The Amazing Marriage

CHAPTER XLV
8/20

She is a fervent patriot.

The tales of her Whitechapel origin, and heading mobs wielding bludgeons, are absolutely false, traceable to scandalizing anecdotists like Mr.Rose Mackrell.

She is the beautiful example of an injured wife doing honour to her sex in the punishment of a faithless husband, yet so little cherishing her natural right to deal him retribution, that we dare hope she will listen to her patriotic duty in consenting to the reconcilement, which is Lord Fleetwood's alternative: his wife or Rome! They say she has an incommunicable charm, accounting for the price he puts on her now she holds aloof and he misses it.

Let her but rescue him from England's most vigilant of her deadly enemies, she will be entitled to the nation's lasting gratitude.

She has her opportunity for winning the Anglican English, as formerly she won the Dissenter Welsh.
