BIZ defiance to public opinion as the whim might
Seza her. Sic used 10 appear alone in public,
driving her own carriage. She had separate
establishment in her mothers palace, inviting
and receiving company without consulting her
mother, and often refusing access even 10 her
relatives, Once her mother forced her door,
| despite the remonstrances Of the servant, who
protested that The Coun;ess wanted TO be alone:
To her great amazement, she found that her
daughter was missing. For twenty.four hours
the young lady did not appear, and when she re-
turned coolly informed her afflicted parent, who
had loudly expressed her fears shat there had
been an eIopement that she Lad been away on
