"He has never yet been seen to travel with anything on his head." "And his grey cloak is not very imperial looking." "He always wears the purple at a banquet." "Do you know who his walk and appearance remind me of?" "Who?" "Of our late high-priest, Abibaal; he used to walk in that ponderous, meditative way, and wear a beard like the Emperor's." "Yes, yes and had the same piercing grey eye."

He lifted his head and saw that the light appeared to flow from the interior of the tomb of King Abibaal. The next moment Amory's cheery voice, pitched high in consternation and relief, made havoc among the echoes with a background of Jarvo's smooth thanksgiving for the return of adôn. St.

Of what was wrought on the island I can tell you little, though the time will come when the eyes of the whole world will be turned upon Yaque as the forerunner of mighty things. Ruled over by the descendants of Abibaal, the islanders have dwelt in peace and plenty for nearly three thousand years until, in fact, less than a year ago.

"Now everything is settled, and you can tell the ship-builder we shall go. Our white dresses are still quite good, but a few ells of new light blue ribbon for my hair, and of red for Selene's, you must buy on the way, at Abibaal, the Phoenician's." "Very good." "I will see at once to both the dresses but, to be sure, when are we to be ready?" "In two hours."

Back there, where the light glimmered beside the tomb of King Abibaal, nobody could tell what awaited him.

Which, if you come to think of it, and no matter how absurdly you learn it, is a thing immeasurably worth realizing in this world of possibilities. It is one of our two magics. "And this," Jarvo said softly, pausing before a vacant niche opposite the tomb of King Abibaal, "this will be the receptacle for the present king of Yaque, his Majesty, King Otho, by the grace of God."

"Do you know who his walk and appearance remind me of?" "Who?" "Of our late high-priest, Abibaal; he used to walk in that ponderous, meditative way, and wear a beard like the Emperor's."
