Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sweet Is Revenge For upwards of twenty years Sir Danvers Fothergille had remained a widower. His wife, whom he loved with all the ardour of his youth, died after a brief twelve months of married life on giving birth to a daughter, leaving her young husband a desolate and broken-hearted man. Placing the infant in charge of relatives he shut up Fothergille Abbey and remained abroad many years. On his return the county prepared to welcome him, and having his interests at heart decided he must marry forthwith. Sir Danvers received his neighbours´ greetings cordially, but declined the matrimonial arrangements made by many manoeuvring mothers. In vain, young ladies fresh from school blushed in their most becoming manner when he addressed them, entirely agreed with the opinions he expressed, completely conformed to such tastes as he was supposed to possess. In vain did their more advanced sisters confide in him their interests in village schools, parochial charities, the suffering poor. His purse was ever open to their demands, but his heart remained closed to their charms. Widows more experienced in the management of mankind wooed him with tender looks, gentle smiles, and caressing words, and to them as to all their sex he was gallant, courteous, and attentive; but the words they longed to hear never fell from his lips. Sir Danvers had the reputation of being one of the handsomest men in the county. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
