Excerpt from The Way of Perfect Love Lionella, the daughter of the late Duke, being un touched by love, lived a maid among her seven hand maidens, seeking always to understand love's nature, until one time, - whereas the Duke, her cousin, had long since sought her in marriage vainly, - a Strolling Player drew her away to follow him over the world. Finding at last that he loved her less than the freedom of the soul, she found the courage to send him from her. Then she was sheltered by a Shepherd, whom - he worshipping her as something half-divine - she came to love In his turn, until the years brought by the Way farer again and renewed the summons of the unknown and the unfettered, breaking up her life of simpler afi'ec tions.

Her presence in the Palace had not been missed, for her Waiting Gentlewomen had by turns supplied her place; her reappearance in the world was the signal, throughout the duchy, for indescribable happiness. The Shepherd, turning from earthly love to heavenly, had moved steadfastly meanwhile towards perfection; so likewise had Messer Peregrino, following, through all these years, with a soul emancipate, desire unattainable and therefore immortal.
