"She would be wild in such a storm," said Agatha, "and not know what she was about." "Sister Beata and I have gone to each house," said Mr. Flight. "When did you say you saw her last?" "I saw her when we were grouped," said Paula; "Sister Mena, when she was helping him to put up his photos." "The strange thing is," said Mr.
"What do you mean by a bridge which we must step over? I do not understand the flowers of speech, and desire plain language." The dwarf reflected for a moment; and then asked, "Shall I say nakedly and openly what I mean, and will you not be angry?" "Speak!" "Mena is the crocodile. Put him out of the world, and you will have passed the bridge; then Nefert will be thine if thou wilt listen to me."
I'd pinned him like a stuck butterfly. I could remember that he was the first known king, and founded Memphis and lived six thousand years before Christ, all because we're going to stay at Mena House, which is named after him. I don't know why I remembered him that way, but I did. Just as I could recall the queen with a name like a sneeze by thinking of her as Queen Hat-and-Shoes.
Ani saw her robe as she herself fled, clenched his fist with rage as he shouted her name, and then, not knowing what he did, rushed headlong through the corridor into which the different royal apartments opened. The fearful crash of the falling stairs brought the King and Mena also out of the sleeping-room.
My father has given Mena leave of absence from his office for several days, and I have excused her from her attendance on me, for the time during which we were so necessary to each other really came to an end yesterday.
I would rather not go to the Mena House, -I could not bear it ..." Her voice gave way entirely, and she broke out crying bitterly. Denzil stood still and regarded her with a kind of sullen shame and remorse. "What a very sympathetic sister you are!" he observed.
"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.
A detailed and elaborate examination of the relative positions of the tombs, their dimensions, and the objects found in them, compared with the various fragments of historical records of the early dynasties, enables us to reconstruct the exact order of these ancient rulers. * Ka and Zeser were possibly brothers of Mena.
These men working, some of them in the field of practical exploration, some as students of the Egyptian language and writing, have restored to us a tolerably precise knowledge of the history of Egypt from the time of the first historical king, Mena, whose date is placed at about the middle of the fifth century B.C. We know not merely the names of most of the subsequent rulers, but some thing of the deeds of many of them; and, what is vastly more important, we know, thanks to the modern interpretation of the old literature, many things concerning the life of the people, and in particular concerning their highest culture, their methods of thought, and their scientific attainments, which might well have been supposed to be past finding out.
At last he could quit the scene of war with the hope of marrying Nefert. He rode his horse to death the sooner to reach the goal of his desires; but when he reached Tanis, the city of Rameses, the news met him that his affianced cousin had been given to another, the handsomest and bravest man in Thebes the noble Mena.
