While walking on the Palace grounds, near a grassy knoll, you notice a shadowy figure slipping away at your approach, apparently dropping something as it flees. You have no idea which way the figure went, but, walking toward the knoll, where the shadow seemed to be, you can't help but overhear your sister Dido, the Queen of Carthage, as she speaks to her guest, Prince Aeneas, of the fallen city of Troy. From your location near a park bench, you can hear them quite well and can even catch glimpses of them now and then, but they probably can't see you.
 
(Right now, first-time readers of this story should probably type
ABOUT.)
