Excerpt from Mrs. Fitzherbert and George IV, Vol. 2 of 2SO matters went on for nearly three years, the Prince growing ever more passionate in his en treaties to Mrs. Fitzherbert to rejoin him. He de clared she was the only one who could save him from himself, and She, the woman who loved him, began to waver. She still regarded herself as the Prince's wife, and a reconciliation, after his profession Of penitence and sorrow, was the logical consequence of such reasoning. In I799 she seems at last to have given a half-promise, through Admiral Payne, to rejoin the Prince, but upon re¿ection she with drew it. This vacillation brought the Prince to a state bordering on desperation. On June I3, I799, when staying at Windsor Castle, he wrote her a letter, which had the nature of an ultimatum. He reproached her with having withdrawn her promise he reminded her of her marriage vows (incon sistently enough, for it was he who had broken them), he declared that he could no longer endure the misery Of the last five years, and he vowed that}? If she still refused a reconciliation he would publicly proclaim his marriage with her, be the consequences what they might. It was in this letter that the Prince made the declaration (already quoted) con cerning witnesses to his marriage.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
