Book excerpt: Constantine, on his part, looked down into the eyes of his fair kinswoman,knowing her speech was not finished. The slight inclination of his person towardher was intended for encouragement. Indeed, he made no attempt to conceal theinterest possessing him."The Empire may be shorn, even as thou hast said," she resumed presently,in a voice slightly raised. "But is not this city of our fathers by site and manyadvantages as much the capital of the world as ever? A Christian Emperorfounded it, and his name was Constantine; may it not be its perfect restoration isreserved for another Constantine, also a Christian Emperor? Search thy heart, Omy Lord! I have heard how noble impulses are often prophets without voices."Constantine was impressed. From a young person, bred in what were reallyprison walls, the speech was amazing. He was pleased with the opinion she wasevidently forming of himself; he was pleased with the hope she admitted touchingthe Empire; he was pleased with the Christian faith, the strength of mind, thecharacter manifested. Her loyalty to the old Greek regime was unquestionable.The courtiers thought she might at least have made some acknowledgment of hisprincely kindness; but if he thought of the want of form, he passed it; enough forhim that she was a lovely enthusiast. In the uncertainty of the moment, hehesitated; then, descending from the dais, he kissed her hand gracefully,courteously, reverently, and said simply:"May thy hope be God's will."Turning from her, he helped the blind man to his feet, and declared theaudience dismissed.Alone with his secretary, the Grand Logothete, he sat awhile musing."Give ear," he at length said. "Write it, a decree. Fifty thousand gold piecesannually for the maintenance of Manuel and Irene, his daughter."The secretary at the first word became absorbed in studying his master'spurple slippers; then, having a reply, he knelt."Speak," said Constantine."Your Majesty," the secretary responded, "there are not one thousand piecesin the treasury unappropriated.""Are we indeed so poor?"The Emperor sighed, but plucking spirit, went on bravely:"It may be God has reserved for me the restoration, not only of this city, but ofthe Empire. I shall try to deserve the glory. And it may be that noble impulses arespeechless prophets. Let the decree stand. Heaven willing, we will find a way tomake it good."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prince of India, Vol. 2: Or Why Constantinople Fell She was aware of the admiration which went with her, and the sensation was of walking through a purer and brighter sunshine. Nor did she affect to put aside the triumph there certainly was in the demonstration; but she accounted it the due of charity - a triumph of good work done for the pleasure there was in the doing. At the basin mentioned as the landward terminus of the garden the progress in that direction stopped. Thence, after gracious attentions to the women and children there, the Princess set out for the summit of the promontory. The road taken was broad and smooth, and on the left hand lined from bottom to top with pine trees, some of which are yet standing. The summit had been a place of interest time out of mind. From its woody cover, the first imbabi tants beheld the Argonauts anchor off the town of Amycus, king of the Bebryces; there the vengeful Medea practised her incantations; and descending to acknowledged history, it were long telling the notable events of the ages landmarked by the hoary height. When the builder of the palace below threw his scheme of improvement over the brow of the hill, he constructed water basins on different levels, surrounding them with raised walls artistically sculptured; between the basins he pitched marble pavilions, looking in the distance like airy domes on a Cyclopean temple; then he drew the work together by a tesselated pavement identical with the floor of the house of Caesar hard by the Forum in Rome.
