Father Eustace: A Tale of the Jesuits, Том 3Henry Colburn, 1847 After marriage, Lady Sarah finds that her husband, instead of the "bright, highly gifted"man who had won her hand, was, in fact, a "narrow minded bigot, the abject slave of the [Jesuit] community". Her strongest feeling after he died, was one of happiness and relief. Subsequently, the daughter of Lady Sarah, Juliana de Morley, inherits a large estate from her parents. Soon a handsome and fascinating man, Edward Stormont, appears on the scene. He is, in fact, Father Eustace and has been commissioned to woo Juliana into Catholicism and then to convince her give her estates to the Jesuits. Unfortunately for the scheme, the two fall in love. At last, "Edward" reveals to his love that he is, in fact, a Jesuit, and returns to Rome. Juliana recovers and lives, single, to an old age, leaving her property to a half brother. Before she dies, an old beggar approaches her. Eustace has renounced the Jesuits and returned to England, but dies at her feet. |

Сторінка 10 - Time set on her fame, before she went hence, that seal which is seldom set except on the fame of the departed. All those whom we have been accustomed to revere as intellectual patriarchs seemed children when compared with her; for Burke had sat up all night to read her writings, and Johnson had pronounced her superior to Fielding, when Rogers was still a schoolboy, and Southey still in petticoats.
