The momentous transition would come now with exquisite facility. As the hand moved, the mind moved too, ranging sadly over the vicissitudes of mortal beings, reflecting upon the revolutions of kingdoms, and dreaming, with quiet clarity, of what the hours, even then, were bringing - the union of two nations - the triumph of the new rulers - success, power, and riches - a name in after-ages - a noble lineage - a great House.
