In execution of the resolution which he had formed during his cooler moments, Prince John received Cedric and Athelstane with distinguished courtesy, and expressed his disappointment, without resentment, when the indisposition of Rowena was alleged by the former as a reason for her not attending upon his gracious summons.
Ahogy józanabb perceiben elhatározta, János herceg megkülönböztetett udvariassággal fogadta Cedricet és Athelstane-t. Sajnálatát fejezte ki, de nem fortyant fel, amikor megtudta, hogy Rowena nem tett eleget a kegyes és kitüntető meghívásnak.
