In which the Prince Comforts Age and Beauty and Delivers a Lecture on Discretion1 in Love
THE Prince was early abroad: in the time of the first chorus of birds, of the pure and quiet air, of the slanting2 sunlight and the mile-long shadows. To one who had passed a miserable3 night, the freshness of that hour was tonic4 and reviving; to steal a march upon his slumbering5 fellows, to be the Adam of the coming day, composed and fortified6 his spirits; and the Prince, breathing deep and pausing as he went, walked in the wet fields beside his shadow, and was glad.
A trellised path led down into the valley of the brook7, and he turned to follow it. The stream was a break-neck, boiling Highland8 river. Hard by the farm, it leaped a little precipice9 in a thick grey-mare’s tail of twisted filaments10, and then lay and worked and bubbled in a lynn. Into the middle of this quaking pool a rock protruded11, shelving to a cape12; and thither13 Otto scrambled14 and sat down to ponder.
