The bride, who was of the blood-royal of France, had been Abbess of Jouarre, but had abjured her vows, run away and become a Calvinist.
Conflicts of the heart were about to succeed to those political storms from whose effects she had just recovered. The most vainglorious of the daughters of France was destined to extinguish with the wet blanket of vile prose the brilliancy of a long and romantic career. History, justly severe upon the Fronde, ought not, we think, to treat too harshly the Frondeuse of the blood-royal.
Troops of liveried menials were already, in fancy, marshalled in his halls, and for what may not unbounded wealth authorize its possessor to aspire to? the coronet of a marquis, perhaps of a duke, was glittering before his imagination.

In fact, Zelma Burleigh was the fruit of a strange mésalliance between the younger brother of the Squire, a reckless, dissipated soldier of fortune, and a beautiful Spanish Zineala, whom he met in a foreign campaign, and whom he could not bind to himself by any tie less honorable than marriage.
