At that moment she would rather have gone directly back to the convent in Rome, to stay there for the rest of her life, than have married such an unmanly man as she believed him to be. His words had left her cold, his face had frozen her, his tears had disgusted her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
