"My mother," she said to Bent-Anat, "no doubt loves me, but she has managed badly for Mena, very badly; and I, miserable idiot, slept and dreamed of Mena, and saw and heard nothing of what was happening to his to our inheritance. Now my mother is afraid of my husband, and those whom we fear, says my uncle, we cannot love, and we are always ready to believe evil of those we do not love.
The entrance to the tent was thrown wide open. Uarda retired modestly into the back-ground, and Mena and Nefert went forward hand in hand to meet their unexpected guests. The Greek prince was an old man, his beard and thick hair were grey, but his movements were youthful and light, though dignified and deliberate.
She will contrive that Paaker shall be the ruin of Mena, as sure as I have ears to hear with, for that woman is capable of playing any tricks with her daughter, and would marry her to that lame dog yonder if it would advance her ambitious schemes." "But Nefert!" said Nemu. "You should have seen her. The dove became a lioness."
Along the arboured road from Cairo, flashed motor-car after motor-car, their lights winking in and out between the dark trees, now blazing, now invisible, their occupants all intent on doing the right thing: dining at Mena House, and seeing the full moon feed honey to the Sphinx.
But Lennon could see only her lack of trust in him and her deceit. Elsie's childlike eyes had been watching the evening shadow of the cliffs creep along the valley after the retreating sunlight. Drawn at last by Lennon's tense silence, she looked up and saw his frown. "Oh! oh, Jack!" she cried. "What is it? You look so cross! Is it is it 'cause what I told about Mena? Oh, it is!
If I tried to resist they beat me with rods; and when once, in a rage, I forgot myself, and hit little Mertitefs hard, Mena, who came in, hung me up in the store-room to a nail by my girdle, and left me to swing there; he said he had forgotten to take me down again. The rats fell upon me; here are the scars, these little white spots here look!
The old woman sang this spell not without skill; but the Mohar appeared not to listen to her jargon. He descended carefully into the valley, and directed his steps to the resting place of the wife of Mena. By the side of a rock, which hill him from Nefert, he paused, set the cup on a flat block of stone, and drew the flask with the philter out of his girdle.
The day before Starr was expected to come back to Old Orchard Michael took up the morning paper and with rising horror read: BANDIT WOUNDED AS FOUR HOLD UP TRAIN. Express Messenger Protects Cash During Desperate Revolver Duel in Car. Fort Smith, Ark. Four bandits bungled the hold-up of a Kansas City passenger train, between Hatfield and Mena, Ark., early to-day.
"You mean that people will speak well of my mistress for sacrificing so large a sum for the sake ?" "Whose sake? why speak well of her?" cried the old woman impatiently. "Here we deal with other things, with actual facts. There stands Paaker there the wife of Mena.
Mena left the tent, and went to the stables; there he met Rameri, who was waiting to speak to him. The eager boy said that he had always looked up to him and loved him as a brilliant example, but that lately he had been perplexed as to his virtuous fidelity, for he had been informed that Mena had taken a strange woman into his tent he who was married to the fairest and sweetest woman in Thebes.
