He was worthy of being Ba's father out of the whole world, only he, so far as my experience goes. She loved him, and he said, very recently, while gazing at her portrait, that only that picture had put into his head that there might be such a thing as the worship of the images of saints. My sister will come and live with me henceforth. You see what she loses.
A touching paragraph, bearing upon this subject, is dated October '65. . . . Another thing. I have just been making a selection of Ba's poems which is wanted how I have done it, I can hardly say it is one dear delight to know that the work of her goes on more effectually than ever her books are more and more read certainly, sold.
They were just ascending the hill when the black man, getting within speaking distance, cried out: "Miss Vi'la, Ah jist cum frum town, an' what do yo' 'spose? Sam Wiles hab' 'scaped frum jail. He got out las' night. Sumhow he got a file an' cut two ba's out'n his cell winder an' crep' through. In sum way he clim' ober de yawd fence an' got cl'ar 'way.
Almost he seemed to wave his hands and say, "Look at these nice pictures of me and my family and our ways of life, painted on the walls our servants, our dwarfs, our mountebanks and acrobats, our flocks and herds. Sorry there's no refreshment at present on my alabaster mastaba, or table of offerings, but you see I didn't prepare for visitors outside my own immediate circle of Ka's and Ba's.

Just then one nanny looked over a fence and said "Ba-a-a-a!" in a very loud tone, and Jennie almost jumped into the middle of the street. "Come out! Come on!" she cried, urging her friend onward. "Goats are always butting in." A derisive chorus of "ba's" followed them as they hurried along the street. "There's 307!" cried Nancy, pointing.
It was gey slow wark for Sandy though, an' I think he had gotten tired, for the laddies roond aboot me began to say, "There was thirteen ba's i' that lest over; I think Sandy Bowden's dreamin'," an' so on. I think mysel' Sandy had been doverin', for the ba' hut Batchy's wicket, an' every ane o' the loons playin' gae a yowl at the same meenit "How's that?"
But besides this ka, it appears for the first time that the king at any rate possesses also a soul called a ba. In later times we see that every man possessed a ba, and we learn that each god possessed several ba's. But it is in the pyramid texts that we learn for the first time of the ba of a man, and that man is a king.
