"Is it you, Miles Coverdale?" said she, smiling. "Ah, I perceive what you are about! You are turning this whole affair into a ballad. Pray let me hear as many stanzas as you happen to have ready." "Oh, hush, Zenobia!" I answered. "Heaven knows what an ache is in my soul!" "It is genuine tragedy, is it not?" rejoined Zenobia, with a sharp, light laugh.
It must be owned, too, that I had a keen, revengeful sense of the insult inflicted by Zenobia's scornful recognition, and more particularly by her letting down the curtain; as if such were the proper barrier to be interposed between a character like hers and a perceptive faculty like mine. For, was mine a mere vulgar curiosity? Zenobia should have known me better than to suppose it.
Of course her example must have done much injury to the girls of her train. Of course, also, she is the Zenobia of dear Mr Hawthorne. One wonders what her book would have been like. Mr. We must talk about that, which I have not read yet, not delighting much in Eastern travels, or, rather, being tired of them. Ah, how sad it will be when I cannot say "We will talk"! Surely Mr.
But presently he manned himself and hastened to untie the ropes that held the inanimate form on the horse's back. Zenobia meanwhile went on talking in a low tone to Blanka.

"Oh, there is substance in these fingers of mine," she answered, giving my hand the faintest possible pressure, and then taking away her own. "Why do you call me a dream? Zenobia is much more like one than I; she is so very, very beautiful!
Herod, the son of Odenathus, though not of Zenobia, a young man of a soft and effeminate temper, was killed with his father. But Mæonius obtained only the pleasure of revenge by this bloody deed. He had scarcely time to assume the title of Augustus, before he was sacrificed by Zenobia to the memory of her husband.

"Already I have made four appointments for this afternoon and I've raised my fee to $50." "If you can cinch 'em all the way you did Stella," says I, "it'll be as good as ownin' a Texas gusher.
In this city, surrounded with strong walls, Zenobia had gathered the various military engines which in those days were used in siege and defence, and, woman though she was, was prepared to make the most vigorous resistance to the armies of Rome. Aurelian had before him no light task. In his march over the desert the Arabs harassed him perpetually.
