Cleopatra VII was the famous ruler of Egypt who managed to capture the minds and hearts of both Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony. Countless tales have been recounted of her beauty, wisdom, wiles and feminine charm. e-artnow presents to you yet another famous story about the famous Pharaoh Queen by Claude Ferval. Claude Ferval was the pen name of Baroness Marguerite AimeryHarty de Oierrebourg nee Thomas- Galline. She was a novelist, biographer, and poet. She devoted her literary career to writing biographies, which generally were about great female figures. Excerpt: "It was about seven o'clock. On the crowded docks of Alexandria the sailors were unloading the last bales of merchandise. Swiftly, like belated birds, the fishing boats dropped anchor at the old wharves in Eunostus harbour. It was almost dark when the last vessel slipped in stealthily. A man stepped down, broad-shouldered, covered from head to foot with a dark cloak, his traveller's cap pulled down to his ears. With the utmost care he helped a woman to land, a woman so young, so light-footed, that she seemed almost a child."
