It was left for James I, who also created the rank of baronet in order to sell the title , to revive the glories of ducal dignity in the persons of Ludovic Stuart, Duke of Richmond, and George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham .
When she and Arnold turned in at her gate, Ludovic had to stop. Theodora looked over her shoulder and saw him standing still on the road. His forlorn figure haunted her thoughts all night. If Anne had not run over the next day and bolstered up her convictions, she might have spoiled everything by prematurely relenting.
Alas! alas! her son's question fell upon the poor woman at the present moment with the weight of a terrible blow. "Is there anything about her which makes her unfit to be my wife?" Those were her son's last words. "Dearest Ludovic, dearest Ludovic!" and she got up and came over to him, "I do think so; I do, indeed." "Think what?" said he, in a tone that was almost angry.
"We should always be conceiving worse than the truth each as to the other's thoughts. Now, some time ago, when I spoke to you about your sister-in-law and Ludovic I dare say you remember " "Oh, yes, I remember." "We both thought then that there would really be no danger.

"I don't think you will consider Lucy a beauty," said Mrs. Robarts.

But was it probable she would develop sufficient imagination ever to understand, and therefore be proud of, Richard Calmady? "He is brilliant too," Ludovic continued. "He is as well read as any man of his standing whom I know, and he can think for himself.
Thus, in the end, it happened that the family council consisted only of the lady of the house, her sister Lady Alicia Winterbotham, Mr. Ludovic Quayle, and the parent whom all three of them were, each in their several ways, so perfectly willing to instruct in his duty towards his children. Ludovic, perhaps, displayed less alacrity than usual in offering good advice to his father.
So saying, and shrugging up his shoulders, the old Lord left the apartment, followed by Ludovic Lesly, who, forming his looks on those of his principal, endeavoured, though knowing nothing of the cause of his wonder, to look as mysterious and important as Crawford himself. In a few minutes Crawford returned, but without his attendant, Le Balafre.
Sarah Mason, widow of General Blondell, by whom he had a daughter, Aglae, who was named a lady companion to the Duchess of Berry, at the time of her marriage, in 1825, with the Count Ludovic de Rosanbo, and a son, Ferdinand, married in 1829, to Mademoiselle de Bellissen.
