Valerie is a novel written by Captain Frederick Marryat, first published in 1830. The story revolves around the titular character, Valerie de Chatillon, a young French girl who is orphaned at a young age and sent to live with her uncle in England. Despite her initial struggles to adapt to her new life, Valerie soon finds herself falling in love with her cousin, Captain Henry de Chatillon.As the two grow closer, they must navigate the challenges of their respective families and social circles, as well as the looming threat of war between France and England. Along the way, Valerie must also confront her own past and the secrets that her uncle has been keeping from her.Filled with romance, intrigue, and adventure, Valerie is a classic tale of love and loyalty set against the backdrop of 19th century Europe. Marryat's vivid descriptions and engaging characters make this a timeless story that will captivate readers of all ages.As her daughters were led down to the carriages, I thought that she was going to faint; but it appeared, on second thoughts, that she wished first to see the girls depart in their gay equipages; she therefore tottered to the window, saw them get in, looked at Newman's greys and gay postillions --at the white and silver favours --the dandy valet and smart lady's-maid in each rumble. She saw them start at a rattling pace, watched them till they turned the corner of the square, and then --and not till then --fell senseless in my arms, and was carried by the attendants into her own room.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
