t suite of
apartments. They remained at L'Ange until after the funeral of poor John
Scott, whose body was interred in the little cemetery by St. Marie
L'Ange.

The young Duke of Hereward defrayed all the expenses of the burial, and
settled upon the widow an income sufficient to enable her to live in
comfort and respectability. With the full consent of the unloving mother,
who was but too willing to be relieved of her incumbrance, the young
Duchess of Hereward adopted little Marie Perdue; "perdue" no longer, but
the cherished pet of a fond foster-mother.

Before leaving France, the Duke and Duchess of Hereward richly endowed
the charities of the Convent of St. Rosalie, which had been so long the
refuge of the lost bride. The duchess took an affectionate leave of the
gentle abbess and her simple nuns, who had for so many months been her
only companions. She promised to make them an annual visit.

The young duke took his recovered bride over to England, then on to
Scotland, and finally to their beautiful home, Lone Castle, where the
young couple were received by their tenantry with great rejoicings.
