Antony conducted his troop of horsemen across the desert in a very safe and speedy manner, and arrived before Pelusium.

In the mean time, Gabinius arrived with the main body of the Roman troops, and commenced his march, in conjunction with Antony, toward the capital.

There were still many difficulties and dangers to be passed through, before the period arrived when she became really a sovereign.

Nor could he, when once arrived on the Egyptian coast, easily go away again; for, at the season of the year in which these events occurred, there was a periodical wind which blew steadily toward that part of the coast, and, while it made it very easy for a fleet of ships to go to Alexandria, rendered it almost impossible for them to return.

He arrived at Alexandria, but he found that Pompey was not there.

When they arrived at Alexandria, they sent the head, wrapped up in a cloth, and also the seal, as presents to Caesar.

The legions which Caesar had sent for into Syria had not yet arrived, and his situation in Alexandria was still very defenseless and very precarious.

In the course of the conversation he learned that Cleopatra had arrived at Alexandria, and that she was then concealed in Caesar's palace.

In the mean time, however, the forces which he had sent for from Syria had not arrived, and no alternative was left but to defend the capital and himself as well as he could with the very small force which he had at his disposal.

A short time after these transactions occurred, there came into the harbor one day, from along the shore west of the city, a small sloop, bringing the intelligence that a squadron of transports had arrived upon the coast to the westward of Alexandria, and had anchored there, being unable to come up to the city on account of an easterly wind which prevailed at that season of the year.

The tidings arrived that a large army under the command of a general named Mithradates, whom Caesar had dispatched into Asia for this purpose, had suddenly appeared at Pelusium, had captured that city and were now ready to march to Alexandria.

Caesar arrived in Egypt in pursuit of Pompey about the first of August; the war was ended and Cleopatra established in secure possession by the end of January; so that the conflict, violent as it was while it continued, was very brief, the peaceful and commercial pursuits of the Alexandrians having been interrupted by it only for a few months.

Brutus and Cassius arrived here first.

At length he arrived, though in coming he had to be borne upon a litter, being still too sick to travel in any other way.

As soon as she arrived at Rome, Octavius, her brother, whose indignation was now thoroughly aroused at the baseness of Antony, sent to his sister to say that she must leave Antony's house and come to him.

The news at length suddenly arrived at Alexandria that Octavius had appeared before Pelusium, and that the city had fallen into his hands.

Cyril and Everard in the meantime have arrived at Malbourne Rectory.

Two hours afterwards Hardress himself arrived in a fit of compunction.

Hardress told her that his former servant had left the country, but soon the soldiers arrived at the house with the hunchback in charge.

The boat arrived to convey him to the ship, and whilst descending the steps he was overcome by a seizure, and would have fallen but for the aid of his escort.

My heart sickened as I read, "Miss Mayton herewith returns to Mr. Burton the package which has just arrived, with his card.
