Book Description
Excerpt from The Court of Christina of Sweden, and the Later Adventures of the Queen in Exile The question has been raised, indeed, whether Christina, who has been accused Of having had so many lovers, ever really had any lover at all the secrets of her alcove having been almost as well kept as the secret Of the motive of her crime. She went, say her champions, no further than flirtation with her young favourites at Stock holm; no further than Platonic friendship with Cardinal Azzolino at Rome. She resembled, in short, according to that theory, the beautiful heroine in Mr. George Moore's Celibates, who delighted in dalliance, but was deterred by a modesty indistinguishable from terror from yield ing to any man's passionate advances; and she kept lovers at a distance for the same reason for which she refused to marry.
