We forgot the volcano in our admiration of the climber. Foot by foot he made his way zigzagging this way and that, slipping, falling, and struggling till at last he reached the summit. Then, fifty throats poured forth a lusty cheer to do him honor.
The acorn which was shed in the forest has grown into a lusty oak, while trees at that time in their pride have fallen and decayed away. Dead! yes, she has passed from all memory save mine, where she will ever dwell. Generations of men have gone down to the grave since her time a succession of kings have lodged within the castle but I am still a denizen of the forest.

Sebastiano's lusty voice came to her from below. She turned and saw him standing with Lucrezia on the terrace, and his arm was round Lucrezia's waist. He took off his cap and waved it, but he still kept one arm round Lucrezia. Hermione hesitated, looking once more towards the mountain-top.
