"That is strange," interrupted the Prince, "but forgive me, Bakenkhonsu sees these things. If you, O Ki, would tell us what is written upon Ana's tablets which neither of you can see, it would be stranger still, that is if anything is written." Ki smiled and stared upwards at the ceiling. Presently he said: "The scribe Ana uses a shorthand of his own that is not easy to decipher.
"How far are we from a railway station?" she asked desperately, when her watch said that they had sat by the Santa Ana's bedside for thirty-five minutes. "Can't tell you that, ma'am," snapped Sealman. "But it's too far to walk, unless you've got seven-league boots." "What's the matter? Haven't you found out yet?" "Thought it might be the pump. But it doesn't seem to be. I give it up!"
They are long-haired men; and their faces are deeply burned by sun and wind, one hundred and eighty-three of them; and where they died, fighting to the last against four thousand of Santa Ana's soldiers, rose the first boot-hill.
This, of itself, is placing a confidence in him, that will make him walk bolt upright, and display his white hand, and his fine diamond ring; and most mightily lay down his services, and his pride to oblige, and his diligence, and his fidelity, and his contrivances to keep our secret, and his excuses, and his evasions to my mother, when challenged by her; with fifty ana's beside: and will it not moreover give him pretence and excuse oftener than ever to pad-nag it hither to good Mrs.
We must look for that if we have need, which happily all have not in its lighter literature. Nor with "Menagiana," or other 'ana's as vain and artificial as they are often foul; nor with novels and poems, long since deservedly forgotten. On the first perusal of this lighter literature, you will be charmed with the ease, grace, lightness with which everything is said.
There have been twenty changes of government in ten years, and sometimes extreme severity has been the rule, which may change at a day's notice into the extreme of mildness. In Santa Ana's time the utmost rigour of the law prevailed.
But the whole object of Doña Ana's manoeuvre had been to get possession of Dolores' person, as a means of strongly influencing Don John's actions, in order thus to lead him into a false position from which he should not be able to escape without a serious quarrel with King Philip, which would be the first step towards the execution of the plot elaborated by Doña Ana and Perez together.
Yet as Jane dwelt upon Ana's queries, it came slowly to Jane that certain changes in herself might be well. She obeyed this wise, if late, impulse, and when Lola came home in June she had her reward.
"They were given me by Dona Ana of Austria to sell for her account. That is the business that has brought me to Valladolid." "Is this Dona Ana's portrait?" "It is." "And this lock of hair? Is that also Dona Ana's? And do you, then, pretend that these were also given you to sell?" "Why else should they be given me?" Don Rodrigo wondered.
The dwarf met Doña Ana's eyes, and grew slowly pale, till his face was a yellow mask; for he feared her. The door on the other side of the throne was opened, and the King and Queen, followed by Don John, and preceded by the Master of Ceremonies, went out.
