His excellent father, himself ill, has recovered strength to take care of Henry, to watch over him; a miracle of paternal love which does not astonish us the rest of us.

Her birth is, therefore, sovereign, her beauty is incomparable, her heart is as worthy of her birth as her mind is worthy of her beauty, as my sister, the Abbess of Saint Hermangilda, has written me. The abbess, as you know, has often the honor of seeing this well-beloved daughter of your royal highness.
Hermangilda, for whom I have the most affectionate respect, one day showed to us, to my father and myself, a picture." "Where I was represented as a page of the sixteenth century?"
Finally, the affection which is shown for you by the worthy abbess of Saint Hermangilda, who did not know you till after your arrival here do you not owe it altogether to the elevation of your mind, the beauty of your soul, and your sincere piety?"

"Which is in the apartment of the Abbess of Saint Hermangilda it was Henry's portrait." "Yes, dear father, believing this to be a painting of another age, one day in your presence, I did not conceal from the superior that I was struck with the beauty of this portrait.
You recollect we accused him of exaggeration. Strange chance! If any one had then told me But though you have undoubtedly now almost divined my secret, let me follow the march of events without interruption. The Convent of Saint Hermangilda, of which my aunt is the abbess, is hardly a quarter of a league distant from Gerolstein, for the abbey gardens border on the suburbs of the city.
A short time after this sad scene, the "Official Gazette" of Gerolstein contained the following announcement: "Yesterday took place, at the Grand-Ducal Abbey of Saint Hermangilda, in presence of his royal highness the reigning grand duke and all the court, the taking of the veil by the very high and most puissant princess, her Royal Highness Amelia of Gerolstein.
