I The family of Van Steenwik was a we; I thy and honorable one, far superior toth I of Vesale in birth and fortune : but tl distinguished position to the latter had ni quired for himself, entitled liim to an all atice even more exalted. The son of tl Princess Margaret's apothecary would ha\ been rejected by the rich Ilarlaem burglx but, as tlie Emperor's first physician, w accepted as tho most eligible son-in-la Tho marriage solemnized, Vesale accoi panicd by his young bride, set oil' for ? villc, where Charles then held his court. Though she loved her husband, the was so much awe mingled with her atlei tions as to tlnow an appearance of restrai over her demeanor towards him, even in tl privacy of domestic life. Tlio very n iuro of his profession and occupation w calculated to increase that awe, and even create some degree of repugnance in I shrinking mind, which nothing but stroi affection could overcome. | Isabella's nature required skillful drav ing out and tender fostering. Vesalo u fortunately mistook her temerity for co< ness, and resented it accordingly. Tliis It to the estrangement on her i>art, which I attributed lo dislike, and jealousdistrust last took possession of liis soul.
