In due course all the gods assembled in the Great House, and they ranged themselves down the sides of the House, and they bowed down in homage before until their heads touched the ground, and said, "Speak, for we are listening." Then addresing Nu, the father of the first-born gods, told him to give heed to what men were doing, for they whom he had created were murmuring against him.

But Sofia's leaden limbs carried her safely to the upper landing, then on to the blessed shelter of her room, where she collapsed upon a chaise-longue and there lay in a stirless huddle, dry of eye but deaf to the plaintive entreaties of Chou Nu and numb to all sensation but the anguish of her humiliated heart.

There were numerous rings on her fingers, and she perpetually smelt of peppermint. "Nu, stand not chattering there," she went on. "Come in. Dost thou wish me to catch my death of cold?" Moses slouched timidly within, his head bowed as if in dread of knocking against the top of the door.

We have already given the chief details of the history of the gods Horus and Thoth, and the principal gods of the other companies may now be briefly named. NU was the "father of the gods," and progenitor of the "great company of the gods"; he was the primeval watery mass out of which all things came.

Becky had broken the news of Esther's arrival to her father, as was evident from the odor of turpentine emanating from the opened bottle of rum on the central table.

Very pleasant pictures you have and Ostroffsky six volumes. Very agreeable.

Lung , the daughter of Lung Wang's third son, obtained her grandfather's permission to take the gift to Miao Shan and beg that she might be allowed to study the doctrine of the sages under her guidance. After having proved her sincerity, she was accepted as a pupil. Shan Ts'ai called her his sister, and Lung reciprocated by calling him her dear brother.

Then the Majesty of Nu, to son Ra, spake, saying: "Thou art the god who art greater than he who made thee, thou art the sovereign of those who were created with thee, thy throne is set, and the fear of thee is great; let thine Eye go against those who have uttered blasphemies against thee."

The face of his old acquaintance had vanished; this was a cajoling, coquettish, smiling face, suggesting undreamed-of things. "Nu, yes," he replied, without perceptible pause.

On the borders of the Pacific Ocean, a few miles inland, I have raised his grave.
