"And yet," said an old priest, "his brother, who left us some years ago, and who had chosen me for his guide and teacher, was a particularly loveable and docile youth." "And his father," said Ameni, "was one of the most superior energetic, and withal subtle-minded of men." "Then he has derived his bad peculiarities from his mother?" "By no means.
