Will it please your Majesty to go and see the statue?" So Leontes and Polixenes, and Florizel and Perdita, with Camillo and their attendants, went to Paulina's house where there was a heavy purple curtain screening off an alcove; and Paulina, with her hand on the curtain, said
Nothing can be more fresh and youthful, nothing at once so ideally pastoral and princely as the love of Florizel and Perdita; of the prince, whom love converts into a voluntary shepherd; and the princess, who betrays her exalted origin without knowing it, and in whose hands nosegays become crowns.
He could not give the required assurance to the detective. He must gain time. His hesitation had not lasted a second. "Be it so," said he, "let us walk together to the Prefecture." The man once more bowed, and proceeded to follow Florizel at a respectful distance in the rear. "Approach," said the Prince.
With these words, motioning the clergyman to follow, Florizel left the apartment and directed his steps towards the garden gate; and the Dictator, following with a candle, gave them light, and once more undid the elaborate fastenings with which he sought to protect himself from intrusion. "Your daughter is no longer present," said the Prince, turning on the threshold.
Compare with Florizel and Perdita in 'The Winter's Tale. Are Miranda and Ferdinand undeveloped characters whose relation to each other is more important to the play than they themselves are? Which is the most important of the lesser characters and why? Is Gonzalo blamable at all under the circumstances for following the command to turn Prospero and Miranda adrift?
Notice the high and pure character of their love as shown in the facts that Florizel did not find it fitting to buy pedler's "knacks" for Perdita, a trait not in Greene. Compare these two lovers with Ferdinand and Miranda in "The Tempest." For suggestions see Poet-lore, April, 1891.
"I thank you," said Florizel, once more addressing the functionary; "I am sorry to have deranged you for so small a matter." And he dismissed him with a movement of his hand. "And now," added the Prince, turning to Francis, "give me the diamond." Without a word the casket was handed over.
Our oath forbids us all recourse to law; and discretion would forbid it equally if the oath were loosened. May I inquire your Highness's intention?" "It is decided," answered Florizel; "the President must fall in duel. It only remains to choose his adversary." "Your Highness has permitted me to name my own recompense," said the Colonel. "Will he permit me to ask the appointment of my brother?
The little Perdita grew up a lovely maiden; and though she had no better education than that of a shepherd's daughter, yet so did the natural graces she inherited from her royal mother shine forth in her untutored mind, that no one from her behaviour would have known she had not been brought up in her father's court. Polixenes, the king of Bohemia, had an only son, whose name was Florizel.
Prince Florizel walked with Mr. Rolles to the door of a small hotel where the latter resided. They spoke much together, and the clergyman was more than once affected to tears by the mingled severity and tenderness of Florizel's reproaches. "I have made ruin of my life," he said at last. "Help me; tell me what I am to do; I have, alas! neither the virtues of a priest nor the dexterity of a rogue."
