Publisher Description
"Jacob Fuller, the bridegroom, is twenty-six years old, is of an old but
unconsidered family which had by compulsion emigrated from Sedgemoor, and for
King James's purse's profit, so everybody said--some maliciously the rest merely
because they believed it. The bride is nineteen and beautiful. She is intense,
high-strung, romantic, immeasurably proud of her Cavalier blood, and passionate
in her love for her young husband. For its sake she braved her father's
displeasure, endured his reproaches, listened with loyalty unshaken to his
warning predictions and went from his house without his blessing, proud and
happy in the proofs she was thus giving of the quality of the affection which
had made its home in her heart."
