		He is drawn to Gwendolen, sensing the vulnerability and despair that lurk behind her brilliant facade.
		Rich, worldly and sophisticated, he could have been the ideal husband for Gwendolen but feels compelled to crush her independent spirit and mould her into his perfect wife, unaware of the repressed hatred he is stoking up.
		Romola believes that Gwendolen's relative inexperience, though possibly a fault, is not the flaw that leads to her downfall.

		Grandcourt's wish to be introduced had no suddenness for Gwendolen; but when Lord Brackenshaw moved aside a little for the prefigured stranger to come forward and she felt herself face to face with the real man, there was a little shock which flushed her cheeks and vexatiously deepened with her consciousness of it.
		Gwendolen found a relief for herself by thus changing the situation: not that the tete-à-tete was quite disagreeable to her; but while it lasted she apparently could not get rid of the unwonted flush in her cheeks and the sense of surprise which made her feel less mistress of herself than usual.
		In the ladies' dining-room it was evident that Gwendolen was not a general favorite with her own sex: there were no beginnings of intimacy between her and other girls, and in conversation they rather noticed what she said than spoke to her in free exchange.

		Drawn to Gwendolen Harleth the moment he sees her at the roulette table, he senses the vulnerability and despair lurking behind her brilliant façade.
		And Gwendolen doesn't think about others, and as a result suffers because she doesn't know enough about other people to be able to judge characters properly.
		Grandcourt is determined to marry Gwendolen because, Bonneville explains, he relishes the challenge of controlling someone who thinks that she can control him.

		To be a queen disthroned is not so hard as some other down-stepping: imagine one who had been made to believe in his own divinity finding all homage withdrawn, and himself unable to perform a miracle that would recall the homage and restore his own confidence.
		But Gwendolen, with whom weeping had always been a painful manifestation to be resisted, if possible, again pressed her handkerchief against her eyes, and, with a deep breath, drew her head backward and looked at her mother, who was pale and tremulous.
		Impossible for Gwendolen not to feel some triumph in a tribute to her power at a time when she was first tasting the bitterness of insignificance: again she seemed to be getting a sort of empire over her own life.

	Severn River
		With Locrinus out of the way, Gwendolen took over the government of the kingdom, behaving in the same extravagant fashion as her father had done.
		She ordered Estrildis and her daughter Habren to be thrown into the river which is now called the Severn; and she published an edict throughout the length and breadth of Britain that this river should be called after the girl's name.
		Gwendolen's intention was that this everlasting honour should be done to Habren because her own husband had been the girl's father.

		The personages in the _Faerie Queene_ are not characters, but richly colored figures, moving to the accompaniment of delicious music, in an atmosphere of serene remoteness from the earth.
		She is Cynthia, she is Thetis, great queen of shepherds and of the sea; she is Spenser's Gloriana, and even Shakspere, the most impersonal of poets, paid tribute to her in _Henry VIII._, and, in a more delicate and indirect way, in the little allegory introduced into _Midsummer Night's Dream_.
		She was to Spenser, to Sidney, and to Raleigh, not merely a woman and a virgin queen, but the champion of Protestantism, the lady of young England, the heroine of the conflict against popery and Spain.

		You see, when Queen Victoria was a little girl, dolls wore queer frocks and long pantalets and boy dolls wore funny frilled trousers and coats which it would almost make you laugh to look at.
		Once Lady Gwendolen said haughtily and disdainfully and scornfully and scathingly: "If you sit there so much, those low Racketty-Packetty House people will think you are looking at them." "I am," said Lady Patsy, showing all her dimples at once.
		Lady Gwendolen spoke first and instead of being haughty and disdainful, she was as humble as a new-born kitten.

		In London, Jack (as Ernest) courts Gwendolen, the daughter of the formidable Lady Bracknell, aka Algy's Aunt Agatha.
		When Jack hears Gwendolen saying "my idea was always to love someone with the name of Ernest" he is in a pickle within the cucumber-sandwich nibbling society.
		Worse yet, when he asks for her hand in marriage and is interviewed by Lady Bracknell who is attracted by his wealth (a great scene!) he explains that he has lost his parents.

		He said nothing of his having incidentally heard that Mr Grandcourt had returned to Diplow; knowing no more than she did that Leubronn had been the goal of her admirer’s journeying, and feeling that it would be unkind uselessly to revive the memory of a brilliant prospect under the present reverses.
		The effect of her words now was stronger than she could imagine: they raised a new set of possibilities in Gwendolen’s mind a vision of what Grandcourt might do for her mother if she, Gwendolen, did — what she was not going to do.
		Mrs Davilow looked up in wonderment, but Gwendolen implied her wish not to be questioned further by saying — at a deadlock.’Put down that detestable needlework, and let us walk in the avenue.
