Kind memories can never be obliterated from kind hearts.
Lady Rosamond in after years never forgot the sailor prince of her childhood days.

The old admiral was proud of the attachment thus formed in his early career.

He had entertained towards the generous prince a warm regard.

In naval cruises they were often thrown in company, while on more than one occasion Sir Thomas had granted leave to obtain the service of his young friend for a lengthened cruise.
It is not, therefore, a matter of surprise that Lady Rosamond hailed with rapturous delight the accession of the sailor prince as William the Fourth of England.

Her hopes beat high as she thought of the approaching ceremony when she would once more be recognized by her old friend.
