She was the daughter and sister of dukes, and her big, lively family was connected, by blood, marriage, friendship, or politics, with half the establishment of England and Ireland. Presented at Court as a captivating fifteen-year-old, Lady Sarah effortlessly beguiled the young George III, whose proposal she refused; she had many occasions to be thankful she was not Queen to this particular King. She married instead a foppish baronet who cared more for his racehorses than for his charming young wife; in due course she ran off with a handsome moody Scot, to whom she bore a daughter.That brought scandal, ostracism, and divorce, all of which Lady Sarah endured with uncomplaining good grace; until, at thirty-six, she married George Napier, a soldier from a family even older and more distinguished than her own, and realized that till then she "never knew what real happiness was." The Napiers had eight children, generously endowed with their parents' intelligence and good looks, and their five sons made great careers as soldiers and scholars.The story of Sarah Napier's long life (1745-1826) and of her family's deep involvement in their turbulent times is retold in this masterly biography by Priscilla Napier (who married one of Lady Sarah's descendants).We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
