The case is entirely different.
Lord Arleigh could understand that, with all his gentleness, Hazlewood was a proud man, and that, if there had been a mésalliance in his family, he would be the last to wish it discussed. Still Lord Arleigh knew that he would approve of the marriage.
She is said to be possessed of a large fortune, inherited from her father; and they purpose going to France to reside, a sensible determination; as, after such a mesalliance, the honourable gentleman can no longer expect to retain his former social position in our midst. New Orleans Watchman." "Isn't it singular," she remarked, "that a man in his position should make such a choice?"
In conclusion it is only necessary to say that when the Honorable Frederick Dunburne presented his wife to his noble family at home, he was easily forgiven his mésalliance in view of her extreme beauty and vivacity.
Miss Merton, he understood, was Diana's cousin on the mother's side the daughter of her mother's sister. A swarm of questions suddenly arose in his mind questions not hitherto entertained.

"No, I do not think you can. I do not care to divide my power with any consort. And, unless you are of noble blood I could not make you Queen of the Pipes. That would never do. Such a mésalliance would never do. My people would never stand for it oh, never!" "I quite understand that," said Ruth, having difficulty to keep from smiling. "Now go, young woman," the man said pompously.
