Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In a Walled Garden In the year 1749 she made a very great marriage. She wedded the son of a famous man who had been executed on Tower Hill three years before, and whose estates had been confiscated to the Crown. Barbara, who survived what brothers and sisters she may have had, remade her husband´s fortunes. The people who lived in this old house were not her tenants; they were farming squires of mild pretension. They had dwelt in Sussex from generation to generation, and when those ghastly executions took place in London the news must have travelled very rapidly down to a house like this. It must have thrilled with horror the family at the great house, who were Catholics, and every detail must have circulated through the village. Sitting in the garden, I have seen the girl come in with her lover, James Bartholomew, a young man of five-and-twenty. She wears a sacque; she is dressed like Clarissa Harlowe. He has a coat of coloured silk and a three-cornered hat. When they are married, the bells of the parish church will ring; and so also for the birth of their one boy, Antony James.
