When Isabella and Jules returned to Savannah, Jules had a surprise for her. He had purchased a grand house on Monterrey for his young bride and furnished it with Chippendale furniture, accented with fine oil paintings, all illuminated by the flicker of lit Georgian candlesticks. When the carriage pulled in front of the house, Jules told Isabella to close her eyes. When she opened them, Negroes could be seen hurrying to make everything right for her homecoming. Isabella grabbed Jules’s hand and squeezed it. Her heart stood still, she was paralyzed, her mind was speeding with excitement. Jules looked at Isabella as though he would never forget the way she looked at that moment.

Isabella entered the house and quickly glanced around the rooms. Jules lit two lamps and one candle. The maid and hired hands had left and it was the first night alone in their new home. Isabella had thought about how it would be marrying a man that she did not love, but right now, it didn’t seem too bad, not too bad at all.
