In yonder loggia, lifted above the garden and the court, two lovers are in earnest converse. They lean beneath the coffered arch, against the marble of the balustrade, he fingering his dagger under the dark velvet doublet, she playing with a clove carnation, deep as her own shame. The man is Giannandrea, broad-shouldered bravo of Verona, Duke Guidobaldo's favourite and carpet-count.
How strange it will feel being polite once more, like wearing a long curled wig, and making a leg and carrying a sword.

There was plenty of this herb at the Turtle Back, and wherever it grows it gives the country a lovely carnation tinge; this, blending with the bright green of the grass, and the yellow and other tinted hues of several kinds of flowers, impresses on the whole region the appearance of a garden. In the morning, in consequence of a cold and dewy night, the horses declined to drink.

She began to arrange them very quickly into one long straight line. "It's so difficult I've never before in all my life tried to get to the bottom of my mind. For one thing, I've not treated Willie properly. He he counted on me. I know he did. I was his hope.
The little prince was delighted to hear this, and as soon as he had gone out of the queen's room he sent a servant to his father's greenhouses to inquire for a rosemary plant.
