Among all the fair dames, aristocrats of nature, as of birth, who graced the halls of declining royalty, there was not one more lovely, more ad- mh-ed, or more followed, than the bright and strll happy Marian. Delighted by the fame and honors which daily fell more thickly on her husband, amused, pleased, and dazzled, by the novelty of her position, for a considerable time Marian believed herself perfectly happy, as she believed herself also to be devotedly beloved by her husband. The very hurry... and turmoil in the midst of which she neces- sarily lived, was not without its wild and half-pleasurable ex- citement — after custom and experience, and the seeing him re- turn home victorious and unwounded, had steeled her against the terrors and the anguish which assailed her at first, when- ever he rode forth to battle ; there was a sort of charm in the short absences, from which he ever hurried home, as it ap- peared more fond and more enamored than in the first days of her wedded life. This hurry and turmoil, moreover, afforded to De Vaux constant and plausible excuses by which to account for and mask his irregularities, which became ii^ truth more and more frequent, as the fresh character and lovely person of his wife gradually palled on, him by possession.
