A few weeks before Amor was born, his weak, selfish boy-father whose name was King Mordreth also had been killed while hunting, and his fair mother with the clear eyes died when he was but a few hours old.
There was Mordreth, who did little but portraits and "deaders" at that but who fancied he might come out reasonably strong on landscape and on architectural accessories if somebody would only give him a chance.
The Land of the Blue Flower was not called by that name until the tall, strong, beautiful King Amor came down from his castle on the mountain crag and began to reign. Before that time it was called King Mordreth's Land, and as the first King Mordreth had been a fierce and cruel king this seemed a gloomy name.
There is no room for darkness in the mind of him who thinks only of the stars." This had been said to him by the Ancient One. Upon the plateau at the foot of the crag on which the castle stood there were marvelous walled gardens. The sad young Queen of the first King Mordreth had planted them, and after her death they had been left to run wild.
"Will return in half an hour," said the card on Gowan's door; so Little O'Grady sped back upstairs and burst in on Mordreth. Mordreth was sitting composedly before a half-finished portrait of an elderly man of rustic mien.
