Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Romance of London, Vol. 2 of 3: Strange Stories, Scenes and Remarkable Persons of the Great Town This unfortunate lady, whose beauty and attractions proved her ruin, was fifth daughter of George, first Earl of Berkeley. Mary, her eldest sister, married, in the reign of Charles II., Ford, Lord Grey, of Werke - a nobleman of infamous memory, and to whose artifices the Lady Henrietta fell a victim. It seems that he had encouraged a passion for her when she was a girl, and basely taking advantage of the opportunities which his alliance with her family afforded, succeeded in effecting her ruin when she was little more than seventeen. After she had acknowledged an affection for him, the intrigue was continued about a year without discovery, but with great risk; and, on one occasion, as he himself confessed, he was two days locked in her closet ´without food, except a little sweetmeats. At length the suspicions of the Countess of Berkeley being excited by some trivial accident, she commanded her third daughter, the Lady Arabella, to search her sister´s room; on which the latter delivered up a letter she had just been writing to Lord Grey, to this effect: - "My sister Bell did not suspect our being together last night, for she did not hear the noise. Pray come again on Sunday or Monday; if the last, I shall be very impatient." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
