She cherished it, and you were her favourite and should wear it. God knows I have enough." Likewise he presented him with a little vellum-bound book.
Those represented the twelve chapters into which the poem is divided, and I adhered to that arrangement to the last." When in the autumn he journeyed with his wife to Rome, the vellum-bound quarto was with him, but the persons from whom he sought further light about the murder and the trial could give little information or none.
