Excerpt from Lady Beauty: Or Charming to Her Latest Day
Mrs. Barbara Temple, was her reply, when the agent asked her name. She delivered it with decided emphasis, as if the syllables might be pondered and forthwith she gave orders for many things to be done to the house and grounds, saying that she would come in next month. You may be sure we were all alive with curiosity to know everything about Mrs. Barbara Temple. She turned out to be a widow - a widow for the second time, we heard and with three daughters. She had first married an old man of vast wealth, who died when she was two -and twenty, leaving her with no children, and a great fortune settled on her. Next, to avenge herself for the privations of her first marriage, she allied herself to a young ensign of twenty-five, handsome and penniless. With him she lived happily for seven years, during''which time she gave birth to three daughters. Then the young ofiicer died; and so, having got a fortune by the first husband, and a family by the second, Mrs. Barbara Temple was now mak ing ready to lead the remainder of her life according to her own heart.
