They moved forward, the Sleeping Beauty maintaining an air of dreaminess, while Everychild simply could not remove his eyes from her she was so perfect! All the others in the room were silent, gazing now at the Sleeping Beauty, and now at Everychild. And just at that moment there were evidences of new life in the adjoining apartments. You could hear some one playing on a spinnet.
He must have danced it perfectly, this dance of kings and queens in days when crowns were duly honored, for the lovely lady always smiled benignly and never scolded him at all, and danced so divinely herself to the stately measures the spinnet was playing that August could not take his eyes off her till, their minuet ended, she sat down on her own white-and-gold bracket.
Well, now, said my master, for Pamela's version: V. But yet, if from my innocence I ev'n in thought should slide, Then let my fingers quite forget The sweet spinnet to guide. Mr. Williams read: VI. And let my tongue, within my mouth, Be ty'd for ever fast, If I rejoice, before I see Thy full deliv'rance past. This, also, said my master, is very near: VI.
And there is a spinnet too, said she; if it be in tune, you may play to divert you now and then; for I know my old lady learnt you: And below is my master's library: you may take out what books you will. And, indeed, these and my writing will be all my amusement: for I have no work given me to do; and the spinnet, if in tune, will not find my mind, I am sure, in tune to play upon it.
Living is very cheap in Venice; we gave a little money to the mother, and provided for the subsistence of her daughter. She had a voice, and to procure her some resource we gave her a spinnet, and a singing master.
