A cinematic and thrilling true story exploring the life and catastrophic marriage of Mary Eleanor Bowes, Countess of Strathmore—“a tale of wealth, status, and privilege, laced with lust, greed, [and] pride” (The Times) “Spectacular . . . Serious, perceptive, thoughtful and—by no means least—compulsively readable.”—Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post With the death of her fabulously wealthy coal magnate father, Mary Eleanor Bowes became the richest heiress in Britain. An ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II, Mary grew to be a highly educated young woman, winning acclaim as a playwright and botanist. At eighteen, she married the handsome but aloof ninth Earl of Strathmore in a celebrated, if ultimately troubled, match that forged the Bowes Lyon name. Freed from this unhappy marriage by her husband’s early death, she stumbled headlong into scandal when a charming Irish soldier, Captain Andrew Robinson Stoney, flattered his way into the merry widow’s bed. When Mary heard that her gallant hero was mortally wounded in a duel defending her honor, she could hardly refuse his dying wish; four days later they were married. Yet the “captain” was not what he seemed. Staging a sudden and remarkable recovery, Stoney was revealed as a debt-ridden lieutenant, a fraudster, and a bully. Immediately taking control of Mary’s vast fortune, he squandered her wealth and embarked on a campaign of appalling violence and cruelty against his new bride. Finally, fearing for her life, Mary dared to plan an audacious escape and an even more courageous battle to reclaim her liberty and her fortune. Based on meticulous archival research, Wedlock is a gripping, addictive biography, ripped from the headlines of eighteenth-century England.
BOOK ONEPSYCHIC WEDLOCKMarital union takes place on three planes - body, mentality and spirit. In the perfect union, the amount of energy expended on any one plane is in exact equation with that expended on either of the others. But when the reverse occurs, the union is imperfect; and when the inequality is marked, the union has no claim to be called true wedlock.Thus, when the energy expended upon bodily union is greatly in excess of that expended upon the mental and spiritual planes, it is called lust, and right-thinking people turn from it with a shudder.BOOK TWOTHE HEAVEN OF THE BIBLE "For thee, O dear, dear Country, Mine eyes their vigils keep." What does the Bible say about that world beyond the grave, called Heaven? This is a question which many a devout Christian has asked, only to be referred to the apocalyptic visions of John in the book of Revelation, - visions which relate chiefly to the religious side of the future life. I maintain, however, that all through the Bible may be caught glimpses of that life, not only in its religious, but also in its social and industrial aspects. And if we bring our intelligence to bear upon each of these momentary revelations of Heavenly customs, we shall be able to construct a fairly vivid mental picture of life in Heaven. Our sources of information, as revealed in the Bible, may be classified as follows: 1. The book of Revelation. 2. The statements of such seers as Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Daniel concerning various interviews which they claim to have had with angelic beings and with the Lord. 3. The allusions to angels and their ways of doing which are scattered throughout both the Old and the New Testaments. 4. Passages which seem to recognize that which is variously termed in modern times the dual personality of man, his wraith, his astral form, his double. 5. The angelic appearances of deceased prophets at the Mount of Transfiguration and in the abode of the Witch of Endor. 6. The ascensions of Elijah and Jesus. 7. The words of Jesus while on earth. Throughout this book, the Revised Version of the Old and New life, as embodying archives of the most recent and most accurate scholarship has been used for quotations.
