Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Samuel Foote, Esq., Vol. 3 of 3: With a Collection of His Genuine Bon-Mots, Anecdotes, Opinions, &C. Mostly Original; And Three of His Dramatic Pieces, Not Published in His Works This lady, being singularly beautiful, as well as amiable in her manners, attracted the affections of both the brothers. The elder, however, was the favourite, and he privately married her; which the younger not knowing, and overhearing an appointment of the lovers to meet the next night in her bed-chamber, he contrived to get his brother otherwise employed, and made the signal of admission himself (thinking it a mere intrigue). Unfortunately, he succeeded. On a discovery, the lady lost her reason, and soon after died. The two brothers fought, and the elder fell. The father broke his heart in a few months afterwards. The younger brother, Charles Brandon, the unintentional author of all this family misery, quitted England in despair, with a fixed determination of never returning.
