Glyn, English novelist, whose best-selling romantic novels were once considered daring and slightly scandalous. The novel begins: The Sphinx was smiling its eternal smile. It was two o�������clock in the morning. The tourists had returned to Cairo, and only an Arab or two lingered near the boy who held Tamara�������s camel, and then gradually slunk away; thus, but for Hafis, she was alone-alone with her thoughts and the Sphinx.
