Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine, Vol. 255: January to June 1897 Then my cousin and myself did an undutiful thing. We knew the real reason for our banishment was the fear of our pledging our selves to the strangers, who would take us to live in distant lands, and we could not bear to lose our lovers. So one night late, by the help of our governess and some of the servants, the Count and Diego were admitted, and whilst Lady Dormer slept we were married by the Bishop of Aquila, Jane to the Count, and I to Don Diego. Directly after the ceremony the bridegrooms and the Bishop took boat to Durham Place, where they were staying, and the next morning we were sent off to Buckinghamshire, the good old Lady Dormer con gratulating herself upon having, as she thought, got rid of her trouble some charges.
