Legard's was sold. On the purchase-moneythe happy pair lived for some years in great comfort, when Mr. Legarddied of a brain fever; and his disconsolate widow found herself alone inthe world with a beautiful little curly-headed boy, and an annuity of onethousand a year, for which her settlement had been exchanged. All therest of the fortune was gone, --a discovery not made till Mr. Legard'sdeath. Lady Louisa did not long survive the loss of her husband and herstation in society; her income of c...ourse died with herself. Her onlychild was brought up in the house of his grandfather, the duke, till hewas of age to hold the office of king's page; thence, as is customary, hewas promoted to a commission in the Guards. To the munificent emolumentsof his pay, the ducal family liberally added an allowance of two hundreda year; upon which income Cornet Legard contrived to get very handsomelyin debt. The extraordinary beauty of his person, his connections, andhis manners obtained him all the celebrity that fashion can bestow; butpoverty is a bad thing.
