John went into the library and read the first few pages of Machiavelli's "History of Florence," about a king of the Zepidi and his daughter, Rosamond, and he slept, and as he slept he dreamed. It seemed to him that his Rosamond, perhaps ten year older, came into the room.
'What is the matter with my sweet one? cried Dorothy, as I bore in Miss Rosamond, who was sobbing as if her heart would break. 'She won't let me open the door for my little girl to come in; and she'll die if she is out on the Fells all night.
From a conversation with Sir Thomas a few weeks ago, he gave us every assurance of an alliance of the families. Gerald is living on the consummation of his hopes being realized, while I would fain remind him of the line 'Hope deferred maketh the heart sick."

Black beings flitted about like ants round a disturbed nest; Rosamond hoped she detected some scarlet among them, and Cecil lamented over not having brought her opera-glass.
