Description
At chapter twenty-two, the third volume finds the bride alone. Constance is now Countess of Erpingham, in the first months of her marriage, alone in a splendid room while London adores rank and wealth outside. A chapter head praises her genius for diplomacy and the character of her assemblies, where she conquers even Lady Delville.
Marriage has given Constance a stage, not happiness. Her talks turn on politics and matches while her heart stays fixed on Godolphin, now lost to her by her own choice. Lytton shows the glitter and the ache of a great lady's life in one portrait. This middle volume deepens the novel's study of what the world gives, and what it takes.
