In the same "soft" style are two novels, "The Unequal Conflict: or, Nature Triumphant" and its sequel, "Fatal Fondness: or, Love its own Opposer."

Charles VIII., accompanied by a hundred men-at-arms and fifty archers of his guard, again entered Rennes; and three days afterwards the King of France and the Duchess of Brittany were secretly affianced in the chapel of Notre-Dame.

Since she had become the affianced wife of a man of McKay's rank and position, both the termagant aunt and cross-grained uncle had treated her with unbounded respect.

Everybody saw through the discreet veil with which she flattered herself she concealed her exultation when others than the affianced twain were by and while nobody was so unkind as to expose the thinness of the pretence, she was given to understand in many and gratifying ways that her masterpiece was considered, in the Aylett circle, a suitable crown to the achievements that had preceded it.
