A Shabby Genteel Story [antikvár]

Chapter 1 At that remarkable period when Louis XVIII was restored a second time to the throne of his fathers,^ and all the English who had money or leisure rushed over to the Continent, there lived in a certain boarding-house at Brussels a genteel young widow, who bore the elegant name of Mrs. Wellesley Macarty. In the same house and room with the widow lived her mamma, a lady who was called Mrs. Crabb. Ensign Wellesley Mac,^ not having a shilling, had run off with Miss Crabb, who possessed the same independence; ^ and after having been married about six months to the lady, was carried off suddenly, on the 18th of June, 1815,"* by a disease very prevalent in those glorious times — the fatal cannon-shot morbus.^ He, and many hundred young fellows of his regiment were attacked by this epidemic on the same day, at a place about ten miles from Brussels, 1 when Louis XVIII was restored a second time to the throne of his fathers — JlroaoBHK XVIII, BosBeaeHUbift na (JipaHuyscKHH npecTOJi B 1814 r.
