Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Month, Vol. 2: An Illustrated Magazine of Literature, Science, and Art During the two years which followed the Duke of Norfolk´s death I did only see my Lady Surrey once, which was when she came to Arundel House, on a visit to her lord´s grandfather; and her letters for a while were both scanty and brief. She made no mention of religion, and but little of her husband; and chiefly touched on such themes as Lady Margaret´s nuptials with Mr. Sackville (Lord Dorsets heir), and Mistress Millicent´s with Sir Hammond I´Estrange. She had great contentment, she wrote, to see them both so well married according to their degree; but that for herself she did very much miss her good sisters company and her gentlewoman´s affectionate services, who would now reside all the year at her husband´s seat in Norfolk; but she looked when my lord and herself should be at Kenninghall, when he left the University, that they might yet, being neighbours, spend some happy days together, if it so pleased God. Once she wrote in exceeding great joy, so that she said she hardly knew how to contain herself, for that my lord was coming in a few days to spend the Long Vacation at Lord Sussex´s house at Bermondsey. But when she wrote again, methought - albeit her letter was cheerful, and she did jest in it somewhat more than was her wont - that there was a silence touching her husband, and her own contentment in his society, which betokened reserve such as I had not noticed in her before. About that time it was bruited in London that my Lord Surrey had received no small detriment by the bad example he had at Cambridge, and the liberty permitted him. And now, forsaking for a while the theme of that noble pair, whose mishaps and felicities have ever saddened and rejoiced mine heart almost equally with mine own good or evil fortune, I here purpose to set down such occurrences as should be worthy of note in the more obscure sphere in which my lot was cast. When I was about sixteen, my cousin Kate was married to Mr. Lacy; first in a secret manner, in the night, by Mr. Plasden, a priest, in her father´s library, and the next day at the parish-church at Holborn, Methinks a fairer bride never rode to church than our Kate.
