SIR PETER CHILLINGLY, of Exmnndham, Baronet, F.R.S. and F.A.S., was tlie representative of an ancient family, and a landed proprietorof some importance. He had married young,not from any ardent inclination for the connubial state, but in compliance with the request of his parents. They took the pains to select his bride. and if they might have chosen better they might have chosen worse, which is more than can be said for many men who choose wives for themselves. Miss Caroline Brotherton was in all respects a suitable connection. She had a pretty fortune, which was of much use in buying a couple of farms, long desiderated by the Chillinglys as necessary for the rounding of their property into a ringfence. She was highly connected, and brought into the county that experience of fashionable life acquired by a young lady who has attended a course of balls for three seasons, and gone out in matrimonial honours, with credit to herself and her chaperon. She was handsome enough to satisfy a husbands pride, but not so handsome as to keep perpetually on the quivive a husbands jealousy. She was considered highly accomplished .that is, she played upon the pianoforte so that any musician would say she was very well taught. but no musician would go out of his way to hear her a second time. She painted in water-colours well enough to amuse herself.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
