Egyptian, in Hieroglyphics. Greek. Babylonian Cuneiform. Latin. Assyrian Cuneiform. Arabic, in Cufic script. Hebrew, in ancient script. Arabic, in modern script. Hebrew, in square character. The traveller should have had practice in making measured drawings of buildings.
Suffixes were apparently used to indicate gender, and pictorial signs indicating the contents of the document are also in use, though more sparingly than they came to be in the later form of script. Such signs as occur seem to show that the documents in which they are found mainly related to matters of business.
The later ones were the more difficult because they were of no set system at all I mean no one system, but a primitive conglomeration, probably evolved by Paddington himself, based on script music and also the old childish trick of writing letters shaped like figures, which can be read by reversing the paper, and holding it up to the light.
"Mistakes, indeed! It is no mistake when I recognize my own work." "But but how could this old man have stolen your work and away back there at the Red Mill? I believe he has lived here on the Point for years. At least, every summer." "Then somebody else stole it and he got the script from them. I tell you it is mine!" cried Ruth. "Miss Fielding! Let us be calm "
The writing was Tom Castleton's; and the writing of the script hastily flung open by Jaffery was Tom Castleton's Tom Castleton, the one genius of our boyish brotherhood, who had died on his voyage to Australia. There was no mistake. The great square virile hand was only too familiar as different from Adrian's precise, academical writing as Tom Castleton from Adrian.
His fingers failed to coordinate on his typewriter and his manuscript copy turned out rough, with strikeovers, xxx-outs, and gross mistakes. The pile of discarded paper massed higher than his finished copy until Mrs. Bagley took over and began to retype his rough script for him. His state of mind remained chaotic. Mrs. Bagley began to treat him with special care.
Hamar obeyed, and after sitting for exactly three minutes with his pencil between his fingers, he felt a cold, pulpy hand laid over his, impelling him to write with lightning-like rapidity. The script read as follows:
Grattan could hardly have brought himself to believe that the real repeal of the Union would actually be signed in London in the strange script as remote as the snaky ornament of the Celtic crosses. It would have seemed like Washington signing the Declaration of Independence in the picture-writing of the Red Indians.
He fussed with his script, and he squinted into the viewfinder, and he made certain for the second time just where the side-lines came, and thrust half an inch deeper in the sandy soil the slender stakes which would tell Annie-Many-Ponies where she must guide the pinto when she came tearing down to foreground. But he could delay the signal only so long, unless he cut out the scene altogether.
The sharp edges of the broken surface, however, suggest that it was damaged after removal from the soil, and the possibility remains that some of the missing fragments may yet be recovered either at Pennsylvania or in the Museum at Constantinople. As it is not dated, its age must be determined mainly by the character of its script.
