Isabel blushed faintly, but her countenance was grave and distressed. Looking down, and marking some hieroglyphical figures in the dust with the point of her slipper, she said, with some hesitation and a vain attempt to be gay, "Signor, whoever wastes his thoughts on an actress must submit to have rivals. It is our unhappy destiny not to be sacred even to ourselves."

"He asked me to read his son's letter to him, for he is not apt, it would appear, in deciphering writing; and, indeed, it was more or less hieroglyphical, then gazed for a few moments at the dilapidated crew, dilapidated as to health, I mean; for they are clean and decent, and fairly respectable looking, and said, 'Well, ye do all seem to be enj'yin' a powerful lot of poor health among ye.

America is anxious to bestow her funeral favors upon you, and wishes to do it in a manner that shall distinguish you from all the deceased heroes of the last war. The Egyptian method of embalming is not known to the present age, and hieroglyphical pageantry hath outlived the science of deciphering it.
