This design, though inscribed "Ariadne" appears in the stained glass windows at Peterhouse as "Hypsyphile", which is inscribed as such. Unlike 2673.1, this design has not been altered in the change over from Ariadne to Hypsyphile. The cartoon for this drawing identified as Hypsyphile is at the City of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (No. 521'04). These designs (see Nos. 2673.2 and 2673.3) are illustrations to three of Chaucer's "Dream of Good Women", designed in January 1864 for a window in the Combination Room at Peterhouse, Cambridge. They were perhaps originally made for Birkett Foster's House at Witley, Surrey (according to A.C. Sewter - see his notes). The windows were not executed by Morris & Co. until 1869. In the Account Book for 1861-82 there are two entries: (1) Jan 1864 "To 7 windows of Good Women at the mean and unremunerative price of £3 each. £21." (2) Undated, after May 1st 1869 "to touching up some Good Women and I would rather have been boiled ten times over. £1. 1.
