Author Description

Excerpt from Lady Anne Granard, Vol. 3 of 3: Or Keeping Up Appearances It might therefore be truly said, that Isabella eu joyed the prospect of her sister's future honourable settlement more than she could do herself, for the wife had not yet learned to scan the good or eyil inherent in matrimony with a just eye. She had suffered much, but she could not bring herself to suppose that any part of her experience belonged to the state itself, but to her own peculiar situation, and that of her dear, unhappy husband. The iso lated state in which she was now living, far from her country and her friends, shut out from the soci ety in which she had a right to move, of course pre vented her from reading in the great book of human life those lessons of life which might have enlarged her views or increased her apprehensions; there fore, she saw nothing before her beloved sister but a course of unmingled and well-merited felicity.
