She was the widow of Governor Claiborne, and a magnificent woman; she was a Spaniard by blood, aristocratic in her feelings, eccentric, and, intellectually, a fit companion for Grymes. She was to Claiborne an admirable wife, but there was little congeniality between her and Grymes.
Since it was thus irresistible in public, how transcendent must it have been in the close and intimate companionship of private life! The house of the Tiltons was the second home of Mr. Beecher, and scarcely a day passed that he did not visit it.
