"Oh, believe me, age doesn't make a difference. You'll see, age doesn't keep people from doing stupid things, or keep them from getting bad eyesight." And you know what, "Did you know that Sphinxes were an important part in the Egyptian society?" Hmmmm? Did he? "In Egypt, there are really big statues of Sphinxes. It's really quite interesting."
Not that she was trying to steer the subject away from the book.
Conan frowned at her. He wasn't holding any horses. Or was he meant to be holding them? That may have been the problem.
"Egyptian? Ancient or present? I know that there are sphinxes there, but they aren't real. They were just a myth. A religious creation." Conan had read books. He had never visited Egypt. It wasn't part of his father's work.
"If they are real, do you have one?" Maybe they were only tiny little things. The Egyptians just made them look big.
