Is George Biot a Widow ?
Since the death of George Henry Lawes, many newspapers have been discussing his gelation to George Elliot, whose genius and literary labors have entirely overshadowed his fame and his works, deserving as they are. Tho press genera'ly speaks of her as his wife, which she was, spiritually, though not lezally, owing to circumstances that could not be controlled. The wife of the author eloped from him many years ago ; but, having repented of her folly, and wishing to return to him, he very gener- ously restored her to his heart and hoine, She proved to be incurably inconstant. She left him a seeond time, and he soon after met George Elliot, between whom and himself sprang up a strong friend- ship, based upon perfect mental sympathy and community of trade. They would have married, but they could not do so, inasmuch aa, having once condoned his wife’s offence, the laws of Great Britain were not capable of granting him a divorcee. He could not marry again until his late wife’s death, and she, unfortunately, showed every symptoms of longevity. Such conditions naturally produced a dilemma. After long deliber- ation atid consultation with common friends, among them some of the best minds of Europe, they decided to dwell under the same roof, disregarding conventienality for the sake of mutual assistance and mental growth, a course in which their frienda, it is said, fully sustained them. George Elliot has been called and known for years as Mrs. Lewes, and will so continue to be ealled and known, albeit the former wife still lives, and bids fair to survive the gifted novelist, wh» is nearly sixty, and has long been in very delicate health.
