"Listen to me," said he, gently. "As you entered, I had just prayed to God, in the suffering and sadness of my heart, to show me some way and means of escape from the labyrinth in which Count Brenda has placed us. It would seem as if He has had compassion on us all, for at the very moment he sends you, the affianced bride of the count, and through you alone can we be saved.
He found this mummy in a royal tomb at Memphis. He well, I suppose, stole it of course under the usual licence from the Khedive and sent it home to Dad. Now comes the mystery. That was the mummy of Nitocris, the daughter of the great Rameses, and it was the dead image of my living self." "Oh, but, Niti what do you mean?" "I don't know, Brenda. I wish I did.
By a master-stroke of strategy Franklin Marmion had, in placing the three demonstrations of the long-supposed impossible before them in quick succession, kept the learned, but now utterly bewildered mathematicians so busy that they literally had not time to begin "the trouble" which Brenda was now actually dreading.
In a few days the Countess Brenda and Caesar's friendship passed beyond the bonds of friendship; but in the course of time it cooled off again.

A few weeks were all they had; then the Brenda was ready, Nat was to sail from New York, and Dan went along to see him off; for his own plans fermented in his head, and he was eager to be up and doing. A farewell dance was given on Parnassus in honour of the travellers, and all turned out in their best array and gayest spirits.
Her tone had changed again; it was suddenly light, almost coquettish, and she looked at me with a challenging lift of her eyebrows, as if, most astonishingly, she had read my secret adoration of her and defied me to acknowledge it. "In what way am I prejudiced?" I asked. "Hush! here's Brenda coming back," she said.

"I'd better leave my things," I said, returning to the subject which was of chief importance to me. You take me to that inn at Hurley.
Soon after Nitocris and Brenda had joined the group, Phadrig approached the Prince, who happened for the moment to be standing alone at the bottom of the lawn, and said softly in Russian: "Highness, my dream, as you are pleased to call it, has proved true. That is the Queen she who was once the daughter of the great Rameses, Lady of the Upper and Lower Kingdoms." "What?" laughed the Prince.
