He was a Christian and he would not take advantage of a woman. No matter what. Five hours later, he entered the princess' rooms and found her again asleep on the window seat. This time instead of the bible, she had a copy of Moby Dick by Herman Melville open on her lap. He smiled a small smile. He'd read that book cover to cover so many times, he knew the words by heart. His father had given it to him as a gift when it was first published in 1851. William had just turned 16 and was already tired of his parents friends and acquaintances who were just as uppity and stuck up as his parents were. He found escape in the pages of Melville's grand tale. William decided then, that he was not suited for his life of titles, arranged marriage and parties. He wanted to travel, to see the world. By the time he was 25, his father had already started to pressure him for the arranged marriage to their neighbor Sara that William had always suspected was his parents wish. He reluctantly agreed to the union. All William wanted to do was sail away. He took his first opportunity and was ashamed of secretly being happy for the excuse to postpone when the Civil war broke out in 1861. His family never survived the war. When William was first back home, all he did was mope around drink all day and party. all night. Until he was rummaging around in his parents attic one day and found his copy of Moby Dick, his fathers inscription still in the front.

He could see that the table was set and that dinner had been delivered. In a minute. He thought. I'll rest for a moment and then go see if she is hungry. He must have dosed off because he awoke a few minutes later when the book slipped to the floor. He cracked his eyes open a bit and could see her sliding off the window seat.
