Two Egyptians were waiting as Winston and the boys walked down the stairway, and the scientist at once hurried to greet them. Obviously the three were old friends. Winston introduced the two boys.

Night is very beautiful in the desert; for this is the desert, where Abdel Hassan the Arab lives.

He pretended to be very modest.
Lyndaraxa, in the Conquest of Granada, assumes the same lofty tone with Abdelmelech. He complains that she smiles upon his rival. "Lynd. And when did I my power so far resign, That you should regulate each look of mine? Abdel. Then, when you gave your love, you gave that power. Lynd. 'Twas during pleasure 'tis revoked this hour.
