Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Love Match Near the borders of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire stands a fine commanding Hall in the centre of an extensive park, fringed with a tastefully arranged plantation studded with rare and beautiful shrubs. This Hall, at the period of which our history treats, was the property and residence of General Brooke, who, having amassed considerable wealth during twenty years service in India, purchased the estate on his return to England with the view of passing the remainder of his life in a state of complete tranquillity. In India he married the lovely but delicate daughter of Major Mordaunt, and nothing occurred to mar their mutual happiness until, on being assured that she could no longer live in that climate with safety, she returned to England with her only child, Georgiana, an exceedingly interesting girl, whose age at that time was fourteen. On her arrival in England, Georgiana, who already possessed many accomplishments, was sent to school; but, as her fond mother found that she could not endure the loss of her endearing society, she, in less than a month, returned, and, during the five years which elapsed before the general left India, her education was carefully conducted at home. Almost immediately after the generals return to England, the estate in question was purchased, and, for a time, everything went on delightfully. After the scenes of excitement in which he had lived, he viewed this place as a haven of rest. But the charms of retirement soon began to fade: the very excitement from which he had panted to escape he soon deemed essential to his happiness. To those scenes, however, there was then no returning. He, therefore, tried to reconcile himself to seclusion, but, in doing so, gradually became selfish.
