First, in view of the fact that I had seen Gabrielle Engledue lying dead and had, for a bribe of five thousand pounds, signed a death certificate purporting to be from Doctor Gordon Garfield, of Queen Anne Street, Cavendish Square, it seemed beyond credence that the girl who had died and been cremated should be led about the streets of Florence by this Italian, Doctor Moroni.
The Sikh soldiers who died during this period were cremated in the furnace connected with the open altar. The Chinese have been an agricultural people for thirty centuries or more, and this characteristic is embodied in the Temple of Agriculture, which occupies a park of not less than three hundred and twenty acres of city property opposite the Temple of Heaven.
On the terms proposed by Hector the arms of the dead could not be either burned or buried with him. Iliad, IX. 546. Phoenix says that the Calydonian boar "brought many to the mournful pyre." All were cremated. Iliad, XXII 50-55. Her meaning is not very clear, but she seems to imply that if Hector's body were in Troy it would be clad in garments before cremation.
The bodies were never cremated, but the bones are so damaged that it is impossible to say what the most usual position was. Objects of bronze and iron together with pottery and ornaments were found in the tombs. The more important tombs are of a more complicated type. They seem to have contained the remains of emperors and their families.
He left his disciple Lang Ling in charge of his body, saying that if he did not return within seven days he was to have the body cremated. Unfortunately, when only six days had elapsed the disciple was called away to the death-bed of his mother. In order to be able to leave at once he cremated the body forthwith, and when the soul returned it found only a heap of ashes.
Hayman would be there was more doubtful, seeing that she had been cremated. Secretly Cook thought that Mr. Timothy would be upset he had always been so set against barrel organs. How many times had she not said: "Drat the thing! There it is again! Smither, you'd better run up and see what you can do." And in her heart she would so have enjoyed the tunes, if she hadn't known that Mr.
The Chinese, of which there are large numbers, are usually buried, but in case of a mixed marriage the children are cremated. There are many superstitions. A peculiar one in court circles is the wearing of a different-colored panung each day of the week, on Sunday, red; Monday, cream; Tuesday, purple; and so on, for good luck.
We came near to the villages of Chambry, Marcilly, Etrepilly, and Vincy along the road from Meaux to Soissons and found that the trenches dug by the Germans were filled with human corpses in thick, serried masses. Quicklime and straw had been thrown over them by the ton. Piles of bodies of men and of horses had been partially cremated in the most rudimentary fashion.
More than once I had wondered whether she were under hypnotic influence, but that theory had been completely negatived by Sir Charles Wendover. Be that as it may, I had now fallen desperately in love with the girl whom I was seeking to rescue from her enemies. Why had the body of Gabrielle Engledue been cremated if not to destroy all evidence of a crime?
I tried to form a scheme for further action, but could think of no way by which to force him to acknowledge our previous meeting. That the beautiful girl had died, and that her body had been cremated upon the false certificate I had given, was beyond all doubt. But what had been the rich man's motive?
