The man to whom Klea had done many kindnesses, and whom Imhotep had that very day told that she was the good spirit of his house, and that he ought to venerate her as a divinity obeyed her orders, though with some doubt and hesitation. The heavy bolt flew back, the brazen gate opened, the water-bearer stepped out, flung a dark veil over her head, and set out on her walk. By Georg Ebers
Having brought with him every man that could be spared from Beveren and from the bridge, he now ordered Camillo del Monte to transport some additional pieces of artillery from Holy Cross and from Saint James to Fort Saint Georg. At the same time a sharp cannonade was to be maintained upon the rebel fleet from all the forts.
She spoke of German literature, and as I mentioned receiving a letter the day before from Professor Georg Ebers, the historical novelist, she said: "You are happy indeed that you can meet such people; how I should like to know Ebers!" Such are the limitations of royalty.
I shall return with you to Leyden and from thence try to reach Delft; meantime I'll keep watch and give you warning, if necessary." "Let us bid each other farewell now, Georg; hours may pass before I return." "I have time, a horrible amount of time. I'll wait. There goes the door."

Wolfgar was not dead; but when we picked him up it was obvious that he was dying. The violet beam vanished as his body struck it vanished with a hiss and splutter, and a puff of sulphuric smoke that mingled with the smell of burning garments and flesh. Georg and I leaped forward. Argo was standing transfixed by surprise at what Wolfgar had done; and as the beam died, Georg was upon him.
Georg was a blond, powerful young giant. A head taller than I blue-eyed, from his mother, now dead square-jawed, and a complexion pink and white. He was slow to anger. He seldom spoke impulsively; and usually with a slow, quiet drawl. Always he seemed looking at life and people with a half-humorous smile looking at the human pageant with its foibles, follies and frailties tolerantly.
Besides, experience taught him that an offence would be more easily pardoned the more his master himself disliked the person against whom it was committed. By Georg Ebers The ropedancer, Kuni, really had been with the sick mother and her babes, and had toiled for them with the utmost diligence. The unfortunate woman was in great distress.
