Book Description
Excerpt from An Injured Queen, Caroline of Brunswick, Vol. 1 N days that were earlier it was essential that a heroine should approach very closely to perfection. If she did not have all the accomplishments, at least she had all the virtues. She was beautiful, tender hearted, trustful, true, forgiving, ready to lay down her life for her husband, however unworthy he might have shown himself. A single Spot, and she could not be a heroine at most, then, she might be the friend of the heroine over whom the paragon wept and prayed as she knelt by the side of her little white dimity cot. Happily since those times we have gone far, and have advanced more than one step to Nature now a woman may have every vice but one and still be a heroine, her one virtue entitling her to have her name emblazoned on the roll of honour.
