AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A cold selfish widow forsakes a worthy suitor for a richer one, and he commits suicide on the day she marries. The marriage is full of cruelty and she is disfigured and abandoned when her wealth is gone. Most interesting in that the sentimentality of repentance is not included here - she dies as she lived.
