The marriage being a perfectly legal one, and the wife's misconduct prior to the ceremony giving her husband no claim to his release from her by divorce, it was only possible to appeal to her sense of her own interests.

A handsome annual allowance was secured to her, on condition that she returned to the place from which she had come; that she never appeared in England; and that she ceased to use her husband's name.

Other stipulations were added to these.

She accepted them all; and measures were privately taken to have her well looked after in the place of her retreat.

What life she led there, and whether she performed all the conditions imposed on her, I cannot say.
