Excerpt: ...my father was dead; I had none to protect me in France; the Lady Helen was coming to England. When she was gone, I was left quite alone. But oh, Sherbrooke, tell me, tell me, what cause have I had to believe that you love me? Have you not neglected me? Have you not forgotten me?

But tales would reach me-tales most painful to hear; and at length I was told that you were absolutely on the eve of wedding another." "They told you false!" exclaimed Lord Sherbrooke, wildly and vehemently-"whoever said so, lied. I have been culpable, and am culpable, Caroline; but not to that extent. I never dreamed of wedding her. Did I not know it could not be? But you speak of your resolutions. Let me know what they are at once! To declare all, I suppose!
