Why, I thought " "Ma told her she could go over to play with Dorothy. Didn't she come?" "Why, I haven't seen her. I told Dorothy she might go to play with Annie." There was a frightened catch in Peggy's voice. Rosetta Muriel hastened to reassure her, though with a distinct touch of patronage. "It's nothing to get fidgety about. Those young ones are up to some mischief, that's all.
"Rosetta Rosa's coming, and she won't go quite everywhere not quite! By the way, it's about time she did come." He looked at his watch. "Ah, Mr. Foster," the divette said, "you must tell me all about that business. I'm told you were there, and that there was a terrible scene." "What business?" I inquired. "At the Opera the other night, when Alresca broke his thigh.
Just imagine Winter dodging Jiro around the Rosetta Stone or the Phoebus Apollo, whilst the woman is visiting some one or some place of infinite value to our search. It is positively maddening." Perhaps, in his heart, Brett felt that Winter was not so greatly to blame.
At the age of nineteen he was appointed a professor of History at one of the smaller French universities and there he began his great work of translating the pictures of the old Egyptian language. For this purpose he used the famous black stone of Rosetta which Broussard had discovered among the ruins near the mouth of the Nile. The original stone was still in Egypt.
Salt, who had found it in a mummy-case; and that very evening he had proved it to be a horoscope of the age of the Ptolemies, and had determined the date from the configuration of the heavens at the time of its construction. Dr. Young had already made himself famous by the interpretation of hieroglyphic characters on a stone which had been brought to the British Museum from Rosetta in Egypt.
The French at Rosetta, who with miserable fear beheld the engagement, were at a loss to understand the stillness of the fleet during the performance of this solemn duty; but it seemed to affect many of the prisoners, officers as well as men; and graceless and godless as the officers were, some of them remarked that it was no wonder such order was Preserved in the British navy, when the minds of our men could be Impressed with such sentiments after so great a victory, and at a moment of such confusion.
Jacob Wheeler's hired man had broken his leg and had had to be conveyed to his distant home on a feather bed in an express wagon. Mrs. Wheeler could not leave home until she had obtained another hired man. Consequently, it was the evening after the funeral when Mrs. Wheeler whisked up the steps of the Gordon house and met Miss Rosetta coming out with a big white bundle in her arms.
It was early discovered that the hieroglyphic character was not reserved solely for sacred inscriptions, as the Greeks had supposed in naming it; indeed, the inscription of the Rosetta Stone sufficiently dispelled that illusion.
For as Rosa was among sopranos, so was Alresca among tenors the undisputed star. Without other aid Alresca could fill the opera-house; did he not receive two hundred and fifty pounds a night? To put him in the same cast as Rosa was one of Cyril Smart's lavish freaks of expense. As these two stood together Rosetta Rosa smiled at him; he gave her a timid glance and looked away.
There is the Rosetta Stone, which is the gateway of history; there the Elgin Marbles, which proclaim the glory of the Greece that was; there the palimpsests which recall an age when men had time to think; and there the books of all time by means of which we can rethink the big thoughts of men long since gone from sight.
