The Marquise is raped, apparently unbeknownst to her, by a Russian count. The count proposes marriage to her in an attempt to cover up his misdeed. However, the Marquise discovers she is pregnant before the marriage can be arranged. The Marquise prints an ad in the local paper asking the father of her baby to come forward so they can be married. She is shocked when the count is the one who comes forward. The two are married and live separately the first year of their married life. After the baby is born the count gives the baby a large sum of money as a gift. He also signs his estate to his wife upon the day of his death. The two begin to correspond with each other and soon fall in true love. --- www.bookrags.com. ER -
