The talk flitted from topic to topic, mainly concerning itself with matters artistic, and never for one moment approaching the critical subject of John Bellingham's will. From the stepped pyramid of Sakkara with its encaustic tiles to medieval church floors; from Elizabethan woodwork to Mycenean pottery, and thence to the industrial arts of the Stone Age and the civilization of the Aztecs.
The company seemed to thirst for every detail as to her theory of the rise of the Mycenean civilization. Mrs. Wake, for all her tact, was too wary, too observant, to fill so perfectly the part of buffer-state as was Miss Bocock. If one wanted pure amusement, with but the faintest tincture of pity to color it, the countenances of the Pottses were worth close study.
Here are some very ancient stones with Mycenean whorls cut upon Istrian material, perhaps by some prisoner taken by Istrian pirates; also stones with these whorls half obliterated, and hollows sunk here and there, which, it is thought, were a kind of star map made by shepherds when Istria was wooded, to direct them in driving their flocks.
Electra has been compelled to marry a Mycenean labourer, a man of noble instincts who respects the princess and treats her as such.
The local painted pottery has almost entirely given place to simpler yet better wares with occasional Mycenean importations. It is impossible to decide whether this Sicilian civilization ought to be included under the term megalithic.
