He had first loved her when she was a work-girl at a milliner's in the Rue des Lombards, and had carried her away with him to England, whither he had fled after the 10th August. He was her lover; but she thought it more becoming to speak of him as her husband before her mother. Indeed, she told herself that the hardships they had shared had surely united them in a wedlock consecrated by suffering.

Miss Peyton, in her turn, bowed her silent assent to this remark, and retired with dignity, to usher the intended bride into the presence of the company.

He had, however, been a widower since August 8, 1490, on which date his wife died in childbirth.

Nine other children were the fruit of the same wedlock, and six of them three sons, Lucien, Louis, and Jerome, and three daughters, Elisa, Pauline, and Caroline survived to share their brother's greatness. Charles himself, like his short-lived ancestors, of whom five had died within a century, scarcely reached middle age, dying in his thirty-ninth year.

In the mention of wedlock there was always something stimulating to Dwight, something of overwhelming humour. He shouted a derisive endorsement of this proposal. "I shouldn't object," said Ninian.
