"Out of God's choicest treasury we bring down
New virtue to sustain all ill-new power
To braid life's thorns into a regal crown.
We pass'd into the outer world to prove
The strength miraculous of Sisters' Love."

CHAPTER I.

"His voice and beauty,

Youth, carriage, and discretion must, from men
Endued with reason, ravish admiration.

From me they did."

JOHN FORD.

Rose's Journal.

I LIKE London. I like to drive about, and see all the carriages and horses, the crowds of people, the bustle, the fuss, the different expressions on different faces; and when any appear to me more deeply moved than others, I speculate upon the cause, no doubt vastly different from the reality.
