II soon proved that Arthur who, though
he never. strictly speaking. loved Amy.
yet had very respectable imitation of
love for her. preferred 70 stay at home.
while Amy wanted to go out as often as
possible. Now, though Arthur had much

kept whipping William OF Orange time

somehow or other William had come out
