Dorothy Osborne, the daughter of a staunch Royalist, met William Temple, whose father favoured Oliver Cromwell, towards the end of the Civil War. Despite strong opposition from both families, the couple embarked on a secret, seven-year courtship, mostly through letters – many now found in the British Library.

Dorothy Osborne, fiica unui regalist convins, l-a cunoscut pe William Temple, al carui tata l-a favorizat pe Oliver Cromwell, spre sfarsitul Razboiului Civil. In ciuda opozitiei puternice din partea ambelor familii, cuplul s-a angajat intr-o curte secreta de sapte ani, mai ales prin scrisori - multe care se gasesc acum in Biblioteca Britanica.
