Description
The beauty of Lady Corisande was even more distinguished and more regular, but whether it were the effect of her dark brown hair and darker eyes, her countenance had not the lustre of the res, and its expression was grave and perhaps pensive. The duke, though still young, and naturally of a gay and joyous temperament, had a high sense of duty, and strong domestic feelings. He was never wanting in his public place, and he was fond of his wife and his children; still more, proud of them. Every day when he looked into the glass, and gave the last touch to his consummate toilet, he offered his grateful thanks to Providence that his family was not unworthy of him. His grace was accustomed to say that he had only one misfortune, and it was a great one; he had no home.
