Ayesha (Ella)

Hemos grabado esta estupenda novela de aventuras en un sonolibro, con toda clase de efectos especiales y música de ambientación. Estamos seguros de que la vais a disfrutar, ya sea en un viaje largo, o paseando, o haciendo tareas en casa."- ¿Un pueblo salvaje? ¿Qué pueblo?- No puedo darte ahora muchos detalles. Confórmate con saber que aquella reina, en circunstancias que ya averiguarás algún día, acabó por asesinar a Kalíkrates. La princesa egipcia, su viuda, consiguió escapar y llegar, no sé cómo, a Atenas, donde dio a luz un hijo al que llamó Tisísthenes, que quiere decir El Poderoso Vengador."Quinientos años o más, después de esto, la familia emigró a Roma en condiciones que ignoro, porque no quedan rastros. Allí, probablemente con la idea de alentar el espíritu de venganza que empezó a infundirse a sus descendientes desde Tisísthenes, la familia asumió regularmente el apellido Vindex, o sea, El Vengador. Este nombre se transformaría en Vincey quinientos años más tarde, cuando su descendiente directo pasó a Inglaterra, alcanzando, en tiempos de Guillermo el Conquistador, grandes honores.- Pero, amigo mío, yo te conozco bien, y nunca me has dicho que los Vincey fueran nobles..."
