Now, good night, and remember that the night-cap is to be a night-cap, and when you've put it on you really must go to bed. You've been thinking a great deal too much this week. Good-night, Dad." "Good-night, Niti, dear. Don't trouble your head about my thinking. Sufficient unto the brain are the thoughts thereof. Sometimes they are more than sufficient. Good-night.
"I think we manage to bore each other quite enough in London, and we like each other all the better when we meet again." "Is not that rather an ungracious speech, Niti, seeing that one of the said acquaintances has only just chanced to join us?" said the Professor mildly. "You mean as regards the Prince?" she laughed. "Certainly not. His Highness is hardly an acquaintance yet.
He found this mummy in a royal tomb at Memphis. He well, I suppose, stole it of course under the usual licence from the Khedive and sent it home to Dad. Now comes the mystery. That was the mummy of Nitocris, the daughter of the great Rameses, and it was the dead image of my living self." "Oh, but, Niti what do you mean?" "I don't know, Brenda. I wish I did.
"Despotism, Niti and an angel from heaven for the despot," he replied, with another look into the Prince's eyes which brought him to the conclusion that the sooner his presence on board the Grashna was dispensed with the better for his plans. There was a sense of quiet mastery in Franklin Marmion's manner which made him uneasy.
Although he could see and move and hear, and, no doubt, eat and drink in this world, he was unexistent as regards the inhabitants of it, and yet he knew perfectly well he was standing by the side of the road where the motor-car ought to be, and over there, a few hundred yards away, Niti would be sitting in her room or walking in the garden and she wouldn't be born for nearly a thousand years yet.
Raffles, in his account of this work, says that it contains one hundred and twenty-three stanzas, and that it is said to be contemporary with the Bharata Yuddha. Vreede, in his "Catalogue," says in a note, "Winter mentions the 'Niti Sastra Kawi, and as its author Prabu Vidayaka, in the time of Aji Saka."
For him, then, there was evidently no danger but Niti ? They moved along to the next door. That was hers. The woman put her hand on the knob and turned it. To his horror, the door opened. She had forgotten to lock it. They both crept in, and he followed them boldly enough now, knowing what he did.
And so I and Her Majesty are really one and the same! It ought to seem very wonderful, but somehow it doesn't in the slightest." "I don't think that anything will seem wonderful to you now, Niti," was the quiet response. "But as we are at present on the lower plane of existence, it will be necessary for us to go to breakfast."
Now, let us go back into the drawing-room, and my daughter will give us some tea." When Nicol Hendry left "The Wilderness" that afternoon he was about the most mystified man in London. After he had gone, Franklin Marmion said to Nitocris: "Well, Niti, what do you think of our gimlet-eyed friend? Will he do?" "Yes, Dad; I like his manner, and he seems very clever in his own way.
"I want to take possession of Lord Leighton for about half an hour, dear, if you don't mind. I've got something very serious to say to him. Dad, with the characteristic cowardice of his sex, has left it to me to say. It's well, it's about a mummy: a female mummy, or, at least, I suppose I ought to say a mummy that was once a female about five thousand years ago." "My dear Niti "
