Just goes to show you that despicable comes in all shapes and sizes.
Poor Elizabeth. On the surface, she seemed to have it all - beauty, a handsome and ambitious husband, a lovely family and a solid marriage. However, she suffered so many agonies, the worst I would imagine would be the loss of her son.
When you're betrayed by your life partner, that's got to be painful, but to have it done via public scandal? Horrible.
She remained a lady throughout her every ordeal - the death of her son, her illness and the death of her marriage. Bless her.
