Now, I saw that this promise frightened Miss Ruth more than she would say, for it was the first time that it occurred to her that men might come out of the pit. But she was just the one to turn it with a laugh, and crying, "What folly! what folly!" she called out at the same time for little Rosamunda, and began to think of that which I had clean forgotten.
"She could not feel," reasoned Lena, with contempt. "I don't know," said Lily, knitting her brows. "It's not ALL make believe! I do love my Rosamunda Rowena, and she loves me, and I shall tell her not to be jealous of this dear Betsinda. For, do you know, when Rosamunda was ill in the Red Sea, father carried her up and down on deck, and made her a dear little deck chair." "But she is not alive.
More wonderful still was it to see the manner of the young ladies towards him for I shall always call them that they petted him and fondled him, and one put a mock crown of roses on his head. Then, with that pretty song of theirs, "Rosamunda munda munda," they all ran off together towards the northern shore and left us in the darkness, as surprised a party of men as you'll readily meet with.
All that remains of her tomb of stone, the letters of which are almost worn out, is the following: " . . . Adorent, Utque tibi detur requies Rosamunda precamur." The rhyming epitaph following was probably the performance of some monk: "Hic jacet in tumba Rosamundi non Rosamunda, Non redolet sed olet, quae redolere solet."
He'd give his biggest diamond for such a dancer as Floracita; and what is his Flower of the World compared to my Rosamunda?" Floracita, whose warm heart always met affection as swiftly as one drop of quicksilver runs to another, became almost as much attached to him as she was to Rosa. "How kind Gerald is to me!" she would say to Tulee.
sang Rose as the voice paused and a tap came at the door. "Good morning, Rosamunda, here are your letters, and your most devoted ready to execute any commissions you may have for him," was Charlie's greeting as he came in looking comely, gay, and debonair as usual. "Thanks.
I know that I am a favorite with your father and mother, so I cannot see why you have not told them and will not tell them." "Now, Rosamunda, don't be a little idiot! Be a little angel, as you always have been! Am I not doing everything I can for your comfort and happiness, only asking you in turn to be faithful and patient until I can make you my wife before the whole world?
The verse was by Giovanni Rucellai, the distinguished author of "Rosamunda" and the "Api," and the music by Pietro Strozzi. One of the singers was a certain young Giulio Caccini, who lived to be famous. Torquato Tasso's pastoral play "Aminta" had choruses though we cannot say who composed the music.
People think of me as a spectacled lady of an uncertain age, and everybody is satisfied. But you would like some tea. I wish Clare was in. She isn't afraid of that gas stove. I am ashamed to confess that I am. Come out with me while I light it, Rosamunda mia. And you shall make the tea. I never can remember how many spoonfuls to put in. How pretty you look in blue!
What business had she to play the spy upon my daughter? She does well to be a prude, for she is as ugly as sin. But we are in her power. She is to go to-morrow with Julia to Devonshire. It will make a quarrel between me and Miss Bateman no matter for that; for now, the sooner we get rid of that Rosamunda, too, the better she talks me dead, and will let no one talk but herself.
