The Prince And the Quakeress: (Georgian Series)
“Elizabeth Chudleigh! She was Elizabeth Hervey now; and there was going to be no secret about that.It was many years since she had married the Honourable Augustus John Hervey; she had been piqued at the time because she believed the Duke of Hamilton, whom she had hoped to marry, had deserted her. She had met Augustus at the Winchester races whither she had gone when she was staying at the house of her uncle and aunt, Mr and Mrs Merrill, in Larnston, Hampshire. Knowing that Augustus came from a good family – he was a grandson of the Earl of Bristol – the Merrills had encouraged the match and she had agreed to marry him.She soon was under the impression that she had acted rashly; and deciding to keep her marriage a secret did not mention it when she returned to Court.
