Every opinion I then ventured to state, not upon the authority of any special power of divination or of psychological insight of my own, but solely upon the authority of this personal knowledge of Monsieur and Madame Heger in my early girlhood, and also of the information I owed to the friendship and kind assistance given me, in my endeavour to rectify false judgments, by the Heger family, has quite recently, not only been confirmed, but established upon entirely incontrovertible evidence, by the generous gift made to English readers throughout the world of the key needed to unlock once and for ever the tragical but romantic 'Secret' of Charlotte Brontë. - Summary by Frederika MacDonald More information: http://librivox.org/the-secret-of-charlotte-bronte-by-frederika-richardson-macdonald/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

Margaret of Angoulême, Queen of Navarre by Agnes Mary Frances ROBINSON (1857 - 1944) Genre(s): War & Military, Biography & Autobiography, Literary Criticism Read by: Pamela Nagami in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 24 - Ch. 18: The End (1547-1549), Pt. 1 00:15:42 - 25 - Ch. 18: The End (1547-1549), Pt. 2 Margaret of Angoulême, Queen of Navarre (Marguerite de Navarre), (1492-1549), was the sister of Francis I, King of France. She was highly-educated and was courted by the future Henry VIII of England. However, at the age of seventeen, she was married by royal decree to the untutored dolt, Charles IV of Alençon. After his death she wed Henry II of Navarre by whom she had a daughter (the mother of the future Henry IV of France) and a son, who died in infancy. The author takes us with Margaret on her perilous journey over the Pyrenees to Spain to attempt to free her brother, Francis, held captive by the Holy Roman Emperor. Margaret's support for the first stirrings of the Reformation in France alarmed the Catholic conservatives of the Sorbonne. Her cycle of short stories, the 'Heptameron,' is still read and enjoyed today.

Dennis is passionate, proud and indebted to no one. But, Dennis has an obsession with gambling that is leading the family to ruin. When tragedy strikes, Clodagh finds herself in a situation where she must defend the family honor because 'no Asshlin is ever obliged to anyone'. She marries a man she does not love who is many times her age and is thrust from adolescence to adulthood literally overnight. Clodagh travels to Europe and mingles with people of society and fashion which through her immaturity, she believes is her right. She finds instead uncertainty, despondency, and deceit. Her emotions are constantly in battle with reality as she discovers her society acquaintances are not the 'friends' she believes them to be. During her visit to Europe, Clodagh discovers that she too is burdened with the Asshlin curse for gambling which eventually leads to more heartbreak. A chance encounter seems to change her life and she returns to Ireland, only once again to be thwarted by the Asshlin curse. A surprise and tense ending is in store for the listener.

Um die Verhältnisse des jungen Mannes zu ordnen, begibt sich Hanckel zu dem Gutsherrn Krakow von Krakowitz; er will versuchen, einen schon seit Jahren andauernden erbitterten Erbschafts-Rechtsstreit zwischen Krakow und seinem Freund beizulegen. Dort lernt er Krakows junge und bildschöne Tochter Jolanthe kennen. Der alte Junggeselle, »dicker, kahler Schädel, Specknacken, Doppelkinn, das Ganze feurig braunrot wie ein scharf angeheizter Kupferkessel«, ist völlig hingerissen von dem Mädchen, er verliebt sich augenblicklich in sie, und es beginnt ein etwas skurriles Brautwerben. Jolanthe und ihre Eltern scheinen von der guten Partie angetan zu sein, und bald wird sogar die Heirat des ungleichen Paares geplant. Doch da ist immer noch des Brautvaters unversöhnlicher Hass, der nun auch auf Hanckels Schützling Lothar fällt, und Hanckel fühlt sich in dieser Situation alles andere als wohl. Hanckel verliert immer mehr die Kontrolle über sich und das, was um ihn herum geschieht, und auf der Hochzeitsfeier begegnen sich schließlich Jolanthe und Lothar...
