With an air of indescribable dignity, Giglio checked their natural, but no more seemly, familiarity. 'Jones, Smith, my good friends, said the PRINCE, 'disguise is henceforth useless; I am no more the humble student Giles, I am the descendant of a royal line. 'Atavis edite regibus, I know, old co cried Jones. 'Friends, continued the Prince, 'I am that Giglio, I am, in fact, Paflagonia.
