The limes and chestnuts were unfolding their tender sprays of spring-tide emerald, the willows shivered as their green buds made ripples in the water, and the soft light of sunset streamed over towers and colleges, giving a rich glow to the broad windows of the library, and bathing in its rosy tinge the white plumage of the swans upon the river.
"Come over by Roderigo's bed," Lucia said, "we have only a little time to talk before we leave." "Oh, but you must be excited!" Maria exclaimed.
