Excerpt from The Hour and the Man, Vol. 2 of 3: A Historical Romance
Euphrosyne wished that he would come out, within sight of the beckon of her hand. She dared not call, for fear of wakening her grandfather; but she very much wanted a flowering orange-branch. A gay little humming-bird was flitting and hover ing near her; and she thought that a bunch of fragrant blossoms would entice it in a moment. The little creature came and went, flew round the balcony and retired: and still old Raphael kept out of sight behind the leafy screen.
