This usage it has been my care to revive ; and, as this our meeting is unparalleled in its heroic design, so it was my ambition to bid to it one unparalleled, either as a teacher or a guest. Fired by an original idea, unobserved of my slaves, aided only by my singing- boy, the faithful Glyco, I have succeeded in placing behind that black curtain, such an associate of our revels as you have never feasted with before — whose appearance at the fitting moment must strike you irresistibly with aston...ishment; and whose discourse — not of human wisdom only — will be inspired by the midnight secrets of the tomb. By my side, on this parchment, lies the formulary of questions to be addressed by Reburrus, when the curtain is withdrawn, to the Oracle of the Mysteries of other Spheres.
