ABSTRACT
The scene is now changed, and passing over what is not immediately material to be detailed, we behold Gabrielle de Montmorency in Naples, unmolested, and unnoticed in her male attire; and having no imbecile fears of her own to contend against, she had performed her journey without danger, and with little difficulty. She was entering on a world, where all was strange and new to her; but yet her strong mind felt no alarm, nor did she suffer herself to be discouraged; the reflection of her purpose armed her with resolution, and tower-crested fortitude lent her treble shield. Determined to dare the worst in the prosecution of her duty, undismayed she considered every obstacle that might arise, and, undismayed, planned how to surmount them.
