Excerpt from Bibliographical Ghosts
Tymethes, lacking the sternly virtuous mold of his prototype, the young Hebrew, finds himself unable to resist the machinations of the Queen and willingly sub mits to the strict precautions she imposes upon him in order that they may meet in secrecy. She, on her part, takes every measure and risks all to gratify her desires and yet keep her victim in complete ignorance of the exalted personage with whom he is dealing. By the lavish use of gold she attempts to secure the confidence and secrecy of her trusted attendants.
