About this book

The Heart of Princess Osra is by Anthony Hope, who is named as the author of The Prisoner of Zenda. The contents list names, among others, the chapters The Happiness of Stephen the Smith and The Wager of the Marquis de Mérosailles. Stephen the smith says he is very sorry for a lady because, as there is a heaven above, he does not love her.

Men who say they are ordered to let none pass spread themselves across the hall and bar the way to the staircase. The Bishop faces the men in great anger, crying out and asking whether they are all parties in this treachery. Count Sergius takes breath and begins another speech that promises to be not a whit less long, and the King smites his hand on his thigh and roars about making speeches.
