The convent projected out in front of the courtyard. To the left angle of the convent was the chapel or Mission of the Alamo. Santa Ana had come across the desert with 5,000 men. To the demand for surrender, Travis answered with a cannon shot. The Mexican leader then hung the red flag above his camp and ordered the band to play "no quarter."
"This is fortunate, Ana," said the Prince, laughing a little in his light way. "Now take you the half that lies nearest to you and I will take mine. If you die first I will lay my half upon your breast, and if I die first you shall do the same by me, or if the priests forbid it because I am royal and may not be profaned, cast the thing into my tomb.
On the way back to the city the elite or befriended may drop in at the University Club at the end of the wall for a cooling libation. On Sunday night comes the band concert in the palm-ringed Cathedral Plaza. There is one on Thursday, too, in Plaza Santa Ana, but that is packed with all colors and considered "rather vulgah." In the square by the cathedral the aggregate color is far lighter.
I whispered, reading the hieroglyphs of the Prince's name, and he nodded and laughed in his great fashion. "Men come to their own sometimes, Ana, especially if they do not seek their own," he said. "But if so, much must happen first that is terrible. The new Pharaoh is not the only man who dreams, Ana.
Only then " and he looked over her head to where the nurse stood rocking the sleeping child. "Then what, Magician?" Giving no answer, he turned to me. "Learned Ana, to you remember meeting me at Tanis one night?" I shook my head, though I guessed well enough what night he meant. "Your memory weakens, learned Ana, or rather is confused, for we met often, did we not?"
And if Ki chances really to believe that I am his adversary and his master at this black work, as because of what happened in the temple of Amon thousands believe to-day, will he not mete me my own measure soon or late? Oh! I fear Ki, Ana, and I fear the people of Egypt, and were it not for my lord beloved, I would flee away into the wilderness with my son, and get me out of this haunted land!
Dan continued: "Jim Cummings isn't his right name any more'n it's mine. His name is Fred Wittrock, and he lives in Chicago." "Where?" "At West Lake street." "Will you swear to that?" "Yes, I will; he runs a coalyard there. He ana a man named Weaver. I had nothing to do with robbing the car.
Rise, Ana, and cease from giving me titles, for we are not at Court. Tell me, how long have you been in Tanis?" "Many days, O Prince," I answered, "seeking your presence and in vain." "And how did you win it at last?" "By payment, O Prince," I answered innocently, "as it seems is usual. The doorkeepers " "I understand," said Seti, "the doorkeepers!
"We are named, Seti Meneptah aforetime Prince of Egypt, and heir to its crown; Bakenkhonsu the aged Councillor, and Ana the scribe and King's Companion, and our message is from the gods." "We have heard those names, who has not?" said Pharaoh, and as he spoke all, or very nearly all, the company rose, or half rose, and bowed towards the Prince.
This was the largest and gayest assembly I ever witnessed during my stay among the Ana, and was prolonged far into the Silent Hours. The banquet was spread in a vast chamber reserved especially for grand occasions. This differed from our entertainments, and was not without a certain resemblance to those we read of in the luxurious age of the Roman empire.
