He despaired of gaining an Heiress of so great a Fortune, and would rather have died than attempted it by any indirect Methods. Leonilla, who was a Woman of the greatest Beauty joined with the greatest Modesty, entertained at the same time a secret Passion for Florio, but conducted her self with so much Prudence that she never gave him the least Intimation of it.
Florio was so overwhelmed with this profusion of happiness, that he was not able to make a reply, but threw himself down at his father's feet, and, amidst a flood of tears, kissed and embraced his knees, asking his blessing, and expressing in dumb show those sentiments of love, duty, and gratitude that were too big for utterance.
When all was in readiness, one of largest size and of apparent superiority beckoned to Florio to come near. Afraid to disobey, yet equally fearful of treading upon them, Florio approached, and in a moment he was surrounded, and with gentle pressure obliged to take their various offerings.
On November the 1st a reconnaissance by car was ordered, to test the practicability and the need of accelerating the forward movement of our guns. This most original mixture, which we christened "florium," was excellent, more thirst-quenching than rum, more sustaining to the spirit than florio. That day we travelled 76 miles at the least, in a great curve, through liberated country.
30: Shakspere already uses this expression in King John for purposes of mirthful mockery. We cannot think of any other explanation than that the phrase in question had become so popular through King John as to render it advisable for Florio to steer clear of this rock. Shakspere: 'a consummation devoutly to be wished. This word is only once used by Shakspere in such a sense.
Miss Bonnicastle broke the silence, saying they must have some tea, and calling upon Olga to help her in preparing it. For a minute or two the men were left alone. Florio, approaching Piers on tiptoe, whispered anxiously: "Miss Hannaford is in mourning?" "Her mother is dead." With a gesture of desolation, the Italian moved apart, and stood staring absently at a picture on the wall.
We felt genuine regret and compunction at being obliged to leave the "Queen of the summer sea" without paying our devoirs at the tomb of Virgil, father of Latin poets. We had unfortunately been unable to make any excursions in this direction, owing to our limited time. The railway journey to Messina is both tedious and expensive, we therefore secured berths in one of the Florio line of steamers.
Is not this the character of Ophelia, as described by Shakspere the virgin inclining to voluptuousness in Goethe's view? 79: Hamlet, act iv. sc. 5. In Eastward Hoe, Marston, Chapman, and Jonson make capital out of this word, and use it as a sneer against Hamlet and Ophelia. We shall return to this point later on. 80: Florio, 617. 81: Act iv. sc. 5. 82: Laertes, act i. sc. 3:
Let us walk over the grass, as we may do in this free country. I have something to tell you, Miss Hannaford." "That's nice of you, Mr. Florio. So few people tell one anything one doesn't know; but yours is sure to be real news." "It is I assure you it is.
We have thus gathered our dramatis personae, the parties most essentially interested in Spenser's unlucky passion, into one familiar group. Of Rose Daniel's marriage with the "Resolute John Florio" there is no manner of question.
