"Apparently, since they handled it at the time of the murder, it is easier carried about than one would think. And then they fled last night, or rather in the small hours of this morning, under cover of a dense fog." "It is clear enough now," said De Gayangos, peering through the window, where a pale winter sun shone in a clear steel-hued sky. "They are bound to be caught in the long run."
Random began hurriedly, so as to prevent further arguments of an unprofitable kind. "I was at Genoa with my yacht, and there stopped on shore at the Casa Bianca." "What place is that?" "An hotel. I there met with a certain Don Pedro de Gayangos and his daughter, Donna Inez, He was a gentleman from Lima, and had come to Europe in search of the green mummy." Braddock stared.
"I found a screed of Latin along with the mummy, when I looted it from your Lima house, but it dropped out of my mind as to what became of it. Maybe I passed it along to the Paris man, and he sold it along with the corpse to the Maltese gent." "But I tell you this copy was found in Sir Frank's room," insisted De Gayangos. "How did it come to be there?"
Braddock turned impatiently to De Gayangos, as he did not approve of Archie's apparent flippancy. "Does any one else know of the contents of this manuscript?" he demanded irritably. Don Pedro nursed his chin and looked musingly on the ground. "It is just possible that Vasa may." "Vasa? Vasa? Oh yes, the sailor who stole the mummy thirty years ago from your father in Lima. Pooh! pooh! pooh!
My Spanish colleague in 1883 was, as I have said, Don Pascual Gayangos, well known among students for his History of Mohammedan Dynasties in Spain, for his edition of the Correspondence of Cardinal Cisneros, and other historical work. A propos of the examination, he came to see me in Russell Square, and his talk about Spain revived in me, for the time, a fading passion.
His "History of the Domination of the Arabs and Moors in Spain," has been generally regarded as of high authority, and is in truth the first work on the subject drawn wholly from Arab sources; but it receives summary condemnation from Señor de Gayangos, for "the uncouth arrangement of the materials, the entire want of critical or explanatory notes, the unaccountable neglect to cite authorities, the numerous repetitions, blunders, and contradictions."
Jasher's influenza proved to be very mild indeed. When Donna Inez de Gayangos and Lucy paid a visit to her on the afternoon of the day succeeding the explanations in the museum, she was certainly in bed, and explained that she had been there since the Professor's visit on the previous day. Lucy was surprised at this, as she had left Mrs.
He died in 852, leaving the crown to his son Mohammed, whose reign, as well as those of his two sons Almundhir and Abdullah, who filled the throne in succession, is but briefly noticed by Al-Makkari, though Señor de Gayangos has supplied some valuable additional matter in his notes.
There was a pile of old books whose turn had not yet come lying on the floor. Gayangos picked one up. It was a volume containing the plays of Mr. William Shakespeare, and published in 1623. In other words, it was a copy of the First Folio, and, as he declared to me, in excellent preservation. At that time he knew nothing about Shakespeare bibliography.
They will sell to supply me with money to fit out my expedition to the tomb of Queen Tahoser." "I shall dispute your claim," cried De Gayangos, losing his calmness. Braddock waved his hand with supreme content.
