Corey Junkins 5/6 The Eustace Diamonds
The Eustace Diamonds is a novel from a series of novels called the Pallisher novels. This
novel is about love, truth, hate, and possession. The main character in this novel is Lizzie
Greystock who beccomes Lady Eustace after marrying Sir Florian Eustace. Lizzie, when she was
young was decorated with gems and jewels. After her father died she moved in with her aunt Lady
Linlithgrow, whom Lizzie hated. It wasn't Lady Linlithgrow who was the "witch" it was Lizzie.
She always had to have her way. After living with her for a while Lizzie met Sir Florian. He
was a rich man. He owned many estates across Europe, and the Eustace diamonds were in his
grasp. They were worth 10,000Ibs. and Lizie was looking forward to having them when he dies
which wouldn't be long. She didn't marry him for who he was, she married him for his wealth.
Just before he died she said that he gave her the diamonds but according to Mr. Camperdown the
Eustace's lawyer she stole them. "she had so far played her game well, and had won herstakes."
(pg.9). Mr. Camperdown tried his best to get the diamonds back but she kept refusing. She met
a new love named Lord Fawn. She actually loved him for who he was. When he found out that the
jewels were wanted by the lawyer he wanted for her to give them back. She refused, so he left
for Scotland until she gave them back. Since he left she ended their engagement. After she
thought about it she said, about Lord Fawn," Is there anything in him that a woman could love?
Is he not a poor social stick;-a bit of half dead wood, good to make a post of? I did want a
post so sorely then! I don't see why!"(pg.288). She then left to her inherited castle,Potray
castle, to escape the commotion of the diamonds. She felt overwhelmed by people staring at her
for they new of her and the diamonds. She ends up keeping the diamonds because no one has proof
of her just taking them.
