The main incident of this novel is highly improbable; but the strange conduct of the lady who submits to a marriage with a man who had become enamoured of her, provided he will be satisfied with a fortnight's cohabitation, excites the reader's curiosity so forcibly, that he feels a perpetual irritation to get at the secret. The suspense is artfully managed, and, of course, the attention is kept alive to the end.
