Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Secret History of Betty Ireland It is a good family, says an old Proverb, which has neither whore nor rogue in it; for the sake therefore of the person from whom Betty Ireland is descended, I have avoided to make mention of her surname; in the room of which I have substituted that of the country wherein she was born. Her grandfather was Physician to King Charles the Second, from whom he received the honor of knighthood; and while he attended that monarch in his exile, he married a German lady, whose fine house, and a very large town of which she was sole mistress, were unhappily reduced to ashes in the space of twelve hours. Nevertheless, her dowry, at the time of her marriage, amounted to upwards of ten thousand pounds, besides plate and jewels; and coming to England with her husband at the restoration, they did not continue long in this Kingdom, but went into Ireland, where they left behind them four sons and two daughters, and made a handsome provision for each of them.
