she heard that persons had arrived at Ferhabad,
demanding admittance to her son, the barbarous
murder of her husband flashed across her mind;
and she was unable to connect this demand with
any other idea than that of the loss of her child.

uture cruelty: and, also, that if no accident had happened to the
^mple of Ephesus, Alexander would have invaded Asia, and
co nquered Persia, just the same.
