Heads are uncovered as she passes, hands are kissed to her, all
the people bless her. "Heaven's benediction on the dear girl! See where
she goes in her youth and beauty; she who so nobly saved his life!"
Near the corner of the street the second to the right, he speaks to her,
and calls her attention to the windows on the opposite side. The corner
well passed, he says: "Do not look round, my darling, for a reason that I
have," and turns his head. Then, looking back along the street, he sees
the litter and its bearers passing up alone under the arch, as he and she
and their marriage train go down towards the shining valley.
