Through the window-gratings under the doors, through the walls, the virginal perfume of the vast orchards filtered an intoxicating breath, that Rafael, in his impassioned restlessness, imagined as wafted from the Blue House, caressing Leonora's lovely figure, and catching something of the divine fragrance of her redolent beauty.

The peculiar restlessness that had driven him away from his home and impelled him to go on this unusual journey was silenced as soon as he sat in the shadow of his mother’s little house. But he was so tired that he soon fell asleep.

Her father's restlessness returned, and they were again in Milan for a short time, and then in Florence.
