"Your Majesty will pardon this occasion to acknowledge the great honor conferred by this tender allusion to a loving and loyal subject." In her blushing loveliness, Lady Rosamond received a fragrant and beautiful white rose from the hand of her liege sovereign as expressive of the desired continuation of his former regard and endearment.

This was truly a remarkable moment in the life of her ladyship.

She felt the true force and depth of friendship.

If the favor of her monarch could give happiness, would she not exercise a large monopoly?
Yet there was happiness enjoined in the ceremony.

His Majesty was happy to meet his former friend and companion.
