born to the station to which her singular fortune has
raised her. but appears beside her impossible and unde
monsrative partner though she sovereign in her
own right who had espoused some man Of humble rank
and sought unconscously to atone for his comparative
cold and ungracious manner by the overhowing OF her
royal and native courtesy And yet to see her small
sweet but pale and wearyooking face at other times
would say that she had already entered upon that destiny
of of which the line of pain her brow would
almost seem to be natures own prophecy"
