King Baldwin
always quite resigned and, silent and all unnoted, continued her life in a poetical fairy-land, imagining and even composing what she had wholly ceased to write down.
It may prove a dream as unrealised as her earlier modest expectations were, but that these utterances are worthy of a general hearing, and may gain it, now that her gentle spirit can no longer feel pleasure or pain in the result, is the hope and belief in which the survivor now offers them to the world.
