"Yes, bwana." "And if any man grumbles, or if any man objects even one word to what I do or where I go, bring him to me at once. Understand?" "Yes, bwana." "Bassi." "What is it you intend to do now?" asked the Leopard Woman curiously. "Go back, of course." "Back where?" "To M'tela." She gasped. "But you cannot do that! You have not considered; you have not thought." He shrugged his shoulders.
The act of acknowledgment consists in stooping down and lifting up the child from the ground. For this reason the expression used for acknowledging and undertaking to rear a child was "lifting" or "picking up." In our instance the little son and daughter are, of course, not only picked up, but welcomed as the young hopes of the proud house of Silii Bassi.
I went to the first performance, and saw to my surprise that the chief actor was a Venetian, and a fellow-student of mine, twenty years before, at St. Cyprian's College. His name was Bassi, and like myself he had given up the priesthood. Fortune had made an actor of him, and he looked wretched enough, while I, the adventurer, had a prosperous air.

A Franciscan friar threw himself upon his knees before the mighty leader and asked to join the expedition.

My proposal was welcomed with shouts of joy, and I called for pen, ink, and paper, and drew up the agreement. "For to-morrow," I said to Bassi, "the prices for admission shall remain the same, but the day after we will see what can be done.
Bassi had done his best, and when we met at supper he came up to me looking extremely confused, and gave me ten or twelve florins. "Courage!" said I; and I proceeded to share them among the guests present.
"Oh, she's one of your prodigies of female learning, such as our topsy-turvy land produces: an incipient Laura Bassi or Gaetana Agnesi, to name the most distinguished of their tribe; though I believe that hitherto her father's good sense or her own has kept her from aspiring to academic honours.
These worthy people, seeing me dressed like a lord, with a cross on my breast, took me for a cosmopolitan charlatan who was expected at Augsburg, and Bassi, strange to say, did not undeceive them. When the company had taken off its stage rags and put on its everyday rags, Bassi's ugly wife took me by the arm and said I must come and sup with her.
On the archway of the entrance are carved representations of the sun and moon. Hieroglyphics are found in the interior. Besides the sculptured bassi relievi, these stones bear hieroglyphics painted with a kind of red varnish which remains unimpaired. The second is a great stone slab covered with inscriptions or hieroglyphics.
