"Let me see," said the latter, "you are you are What is your business now? I did hear, but I've forgotten." Galusha told of his connection with the National Institute. "I do ah archaeological work," he added. "Egyptology is my specialty." Minor nodded. "Yes, yes," he said, doubtfully. "Just so." Plainly he regarded it as a weird sort of business. "And you are still a ah banker?" queried Galusha.
To a great extent he changed his pursuits and certain political ambitions which he once cherished, seemed no longer to appeal to him. He became a student of past history and especially of Egyptology, which under all the circumstances you may think strange, as I did. However it suited me well enough, since I also have tastes that way.
My second friend was a young Pole who devoted himself eagerly to Egyptology, and whom Lepsius had introduced as a professional comrade. So, during those hard winters, I did not lack friendship. But they also wove into my life something else which lends their memory a melancholy charm.
For the return of John Bellingham would most effectually have cut the Gordian knot of my friend Godfrey's difficulties. "You are a good deal interested in Egyptology yourself, aren't you?" I added. "Greatly interested," replied Mr. Jellicoe, with more animation than I had thought possible in his wooden face.
The sealings, the general description of which has been already given, have come to light in such considerable quantities during the past few years that their study became a special branch of Egyptology. As to the earliest sealings, it was not until the time of Den that a broad uniformity of style was established.
Like Jacob Grimm, he compelled me, as an Egyptologist, to remain in connection with the kindred departments. Later my own experience was to teach me the correctness of his assertion that it would be a mistake to commence by studying so restricted a science as Egyptology.
"How nice Mike is!" she said simply. "He's one of the best." "Is he going to make Egyptology his profession?" "I don't know I don't think so. I'm afraid it's just another bit of Mike's drifting." "What a pity!" Margaret was practical. "I tell him it's time lost at his age he ought to be at the job he means to succeed in." "Isn't he taking this up in earnest? He seems to love the life."
Either she would find a new circle of friends or else swerve the course of the present circle into an atmosphere of Ibsen, Pater, advanced feminine thought, and so on with Egyptology as a special side line. She would even become an advocate of parlour socialism, perhaps. She would encourage languid poets and sarcastic sex novelists with matted hair and puff satin ties.
During this late period Heinrich Brugsch developed in the linguistic department of Egyptology what I had gained from Lepsius and by my own industry, and I gladly term myself his pupil.
Those I have name will show you that I am sufficiently feathered with diplomas to fly into even a sick-room. Early in life fortunately for my interests and pleasures, but unfortunately for my pocket I fell in with Egyptology. I must have been bitten by some powerful scarab, for I took it bad.
