"Did I not tell you that De Gex is as friendly with Sanz as he was with Despujol?" "I know. But in face of other facts I have learnt, the problem presented is an amazing one." As he spoke a tap came upon the door, and a page-boy handed in a card. "Show the gentleman up," Rivero said in his broken English. "Here is someone who will relate some very strange facts.
Diogenes Laertius tells us that when Zeno consulted the oracle as to what he should do in order to attain happiness in life, the deity replied that he should assimilate himself with the dead. Having understood, he applied himself exclusively to the study of books. Thus speaks Laertius, in the translation of Don Jose Ortiz y Sanz. I confess that I should not have understood the oracle.

But be careful not to be seen by Despujol.
At Scotland Yard they acted upon my suggestion, and at once sent a wireless message to Señor Rivero in Madrid, telling him of the discovery of the notorious Mateo Sanz. In the meantime my curiosity was further aroused by a note sent to me by Mrs. Tennison's servant, Mrs.
In that case John of Hastings, lord of Abergavenny, put in a claim as the grandson of Earl David's youngest daughter. Hist. de Guillaume le Maréchal, ii., 64, II. 11899-902.

At the end of April of this year six hundred and three, on the eve of Sts.
