Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dona Blanca of Navarre, Vol. 3 of 3: An Historical Romance
The count had no other resource but to enter upon an open struggle with Don Alphonso and, as the latter's mysterious life, as well as his equivocal conduct with regard to the Queen, gave so much room for calumny, it was easy for him, if not to persuade Catalina, at least to instil suspicion into her mind against one who had so strongly opposed the attain ment of her desires. On the other band, the innocent girl had never imagined that it was possible to make a formal resistance to the commands of her father, and her filial piety and respect being alarmed, she shut up in her heart the terrible secrets which Ximeno had revealed to her. With a joy, therefore, not free from apprehension, she cast down her eyes, and, in tremu lous tones, promised complete submission to her father's orders.
