The king was uncommonly gay and gracious; these two days in his beloved Berlin, after weeks of fatigue and weariness in Silesia, had filled his heart with gladness.
"Many people since Haystoun's book," said the other. "I have just glanced at it. Is there anything important in it?" "Nothing that we did not know before. But things are put in a fresh light. He covered ground himself of which we had only a second-hand account." "And he talks of this Bardur?" "A good deal. He is an expert in his way on the matter and uncommonly clever.
Their first baby died when he was eleven months old, but another beautiful boy came to take his place, named after two friends, Warren Horsford, but familiarly called "Rennie."
