A warm room;
the scent of roses in a vase;
evening light;
gauzy drapes;
a large four-poster bed;
Christian and Laurinda.
Early morning;
the garden;
dew on leaves and petals;
a hovering hawk;
a cool breeze;
the fish basin (mentioned for the fourth time);
gravel grating underfoot.
They do not want their time together to end. I do not want this part of the book to end but only thirty pages remain. I expect to reread to the end some time tomorrow.

Kaor, Paul!
what I thought of just now was to wonder how people in the 18th century kept fish alive in basins like the one being mentioned? They certainly didn't have electrically powered aerators! Frequent changes of water? Or was that basin fed by water running from a stream?
