Three Weddings, Three Goodbyes

Synopsis

I used to be married three times. The first time, I married Edward Shea, the heir of the Shea family, by my parents' arrangement. But what he wanted was a capable mistress of the household, while I was still a gentle, innocent girl. The second time, I married Victor Chenford, a General, through an arranged marriage. He wanted a young woman who looked up to him with adoring eyes, but by then, I had already become that capable mistress of the household. The third time, I chose for myself. I married the handsome young scholar, Simon Stone. I was a powerful general, high in rank and authority, and I could finally make my own decisions about my marriage. On the day I married, Edward stood in the street, begging me to stop my carriage. Victor tried to steal me away on my wedding day.
