This title, by which the Arab rulers were known, had been conferred on the Arab rulers of Oman for centuries, and signifies a sort of priest-king, like Melchisedek, to whom, curiously enough, is given the same title in the Koran.
The corners of his mouth drooped dejectedly, whether from Cicely's chidings or from the taste of the soap it would be hard to say. "Pretty little dear; isn't he, Allyn?" she asked, while she scoured away at the tiny paws. "Just my ideal of a dainty lap dog. Melchisedek mustn't go into the coal. No, no!"
It was an old joke, but they were still laughing over it when Cicely appeared in the doorway, with Melchisedek under her arm. "Cousin Theodora?" she said interrogatively, for the piazza was dark. "Yes." "I want to talk." "You generally do, Cis," Billy observed unkindly. "Yes; but I mean I have something to talk about. I don't always." "Shall I go away?" he asked politely.
It has the image of a serpent, whose head, in relief, set with a ruby, is connected by a fine chain with a tiny circlet which fastens the jaws of the reptile." "What I should like awfully to know is the origin and the aim of this sacrifice. What has Melchisedek to do with your affair?" "Ah," said the astrologer, "Melchisedek is one of the most mysterious of all the figures in the Holy Bible.
You will remember Melchisedek, no doubt; he was the King who came out and levied a tribute on Abraham the time that he pursued Lot's captors to Dan, and took all their property from them. That was about four thousand years ago, and Melchisedek died shortly afterward. However, his tomb is in a good state of preservation.
"Wish he would and done with it." Allyn rolled over on his side with his back inhospitably turned to his caller. Her dimples came ever so little. Then she said quietly, "What a dear, courteous soul you are, Allyn! Please do listen to me, for I've come to tell you something." "Tell away, if you want to." He pushed aside Melchisedek who had stolen up behind him and pounced down upon his ear.
Melchisedek had eaten until his small legs stuck out stiffly from his distended little body, and now he was endeavoring to bury the remainder of his meal in the folds of the rug. The room was a large one, and it took a perceptible time for Theodora to reach the scene of action.
"I've a daughter of my own," he added; and Theodora, when she came in search of her guest, found the guest and the maid laughing uproariously. "Oh, Cis!" "Well?" "Come down here." "Can't. I'm busy." "What are you doing?" "Washing Melchisedek. He hunted an hypothetical rat all over the coal cellar, and came out looking like a chimney sweep." "Well, hurry up.
Cicely's eyes were dancing, and the dimples in her cheeks were at their deepest; but Phebe never looked up. "Poor little Melchisedek!" the girl went on. "Wouldn't his old Aunt Babe give him one little bittie piece? Well, it was too bad. Do you lunch out here from choice, Babe; or were you sent away from the table?" "Don't be silly, Cicely. Can't you see I am studying it?" "What for?"
A hot, lonely, thirsty land the heart of Italy where the rocks are honeycombed with the tombs of that mysterious Etruscan race, the Melchisedek of the nations, coming no one knows whence, 'without father and without mother' a land which has to the west of it the fever-stricken Maremma and the heights of the Amiata range, and to the south the forest country of Viterbo.
