1 Everything was made to yield to her wishes and her convenience.
2 I heard of him first in rather a romantic manner, from a lady who owes to him the happiness of her life.
3 But Caroline Beaufort possessed a mind of an uncommon mould, and her courage rose to support her in her adversity.
4 Her health, and even the tranquillity of her hitherto constant spirit, had been shaken by what she had gone through.
5 This last blow overcame her, and she knelt by Beaufort's coffin weeping bitterly, when my father entered the chamber.
6 My generous friend reassured the suppliant, and on being informed of the name of her lover, instantly abandoned his pursuit.
7 Her hair was the brightest living gold, and despite the poverty of her clothing, seemed to set a crown of distinction on her head.
8 The peasant woman, perceiving that my mother fixed eyes of wonder and admiration on this lovely girl, eagerly communicated her history.
9 Her father grew worse; her time was more entirely occupied in attending him; her means of subsistence decreased; and in the tenth month her father died in her arms, leaving her an orphan and a beggar.
10 He came like a protecting spirit to the poor girl, who committed herself to his care; and after the interment of his friend he conducted her to Geneva and placed her under the protection of a relation.

14 Her brow was clear and ample, her blue eyes cloudless, and her lips and the moulding of her face so expressive of sensibility and sweetness that none could behold her without looking on her as of a distinct species, a being heaven-sent, and bearing a celestial stamp in all her features.
15 He had already bought a farm with his money, on which he had designed to pass the remainder of his life; but he bestowed the whole on his rival, together with the remains of his prize-money to purchase stock, and then himself solicited the young woman's father to consent to her marriage with her lover.
16 There was a show of gratitude and worship in his attachment to my mother, differing wholly from the doting fondness of age, for it was inspired by reverence for her virtues and a desire to be the means of, in some degree, recompensing her for the sorrows she had endured, but which gave inexpressible grace to his behaviour to her.
17 During the two years that had elapsed previous to their marriage my father had gradually relinquished all his public functions; and immediately after their union they sought the pleasant climate of Italy, and the change of scene and interest attendant on a tour through that land of wonders, as a restorative for her weakened frame.
