Amrah made no sign not even a ghost stirred. Silently, then, he stole round to the south. There, too, the gate was sealed and inscribed. The mellow splendor of the August moon, pouring over the crest of Olivet, since termed the Mount of Offence, brought the lettering boldly out; and he read, and was filled with rage.
She came forward; and they, seeing the joy in her face, thought not once how wrinkled and tawny it was. She knelt at his feet, clasped his knees, and kissed his hands over and over; and when he could he put the lank gray hair from her cheeks, and kissed them, saying, "Good Amrah, have you nothing, nothing of them not a word not one little sign?"
They fell upon their knees, Amrah with the rest; and the prayer of the elder outspoken was as a psalm. Tirzah repeated it word for word; so did Ben-Hur, but not with the same clear mind and questionless faith; for when they were risen, he asked, "In Nazareth, where the man was born, mother, they call him the son of a carpenter. What is he?"
All the long-pent love of the simple creature burst forth: with tears and passionate exclamations she kissed her mistress's garments, and for a while the latter strove to escape from her; then, seeing she could not, she waited till the violence of the paroxysm was over. "What have you done, Amrah?" she said. "Is it by such disobedience you prove your love for us? Wicked woman!
"He says they are godless inventions of unbelievers and Shechemites." Tirzah looked at the ring doubtfully. "What shall I do with it?" "Wear it, my little sister. It becomes you it helps make you beautiful, though I think you that without help." Satisfied, she returned the amulet to her ear just as Amrah entered the summer chamber, bearing a platter, with wash-bowl, water, and napkins.
The greater company on the hill shouted shrilly, "Unclean, unclean!" "Surely," thought Amrah of the two, as they kept coming "surely, they are strangers to the usage of lepers." She arose, and went to meet them, taking the basket and jar. The alarm at the well immediately subsided. "What a fool," said one, laughing, "what a fool to give good bread to the dead in that way!"
Amrah sent me to tell you she will bring you your breakfast, and that you need not come down. She should be here by this time. She thinks you sick that a dreadful accident happened you yesterday. What was it? Tell me, and I will help Amrah doctor you. She knows the cures of the Egyptians, who were always a stupid set; but I have a great many recipes of the Arabs who "
That they were there upon the hill she had no doubt; that they must come down and near she knew; when the people at the well were all served they would come. Now, quite at the base of the bluff there was a tomb which had more than once attracted Amrah by its wide gaping. A stone of large dimensions stood near its mouth.
"Go on with Amrah, mother, and leave me here," she said, faintly. "No, no, Tirzah. What would the gain be to me if I were healed and you not? When Judah asks for you, as he will, what would I have to say to him were I to leave you?" "Tell him I loved him."
I have seen him under all circumstances said to be trials and tests of men; and while I am certain he is a man as I am, not less certain am I that he is something more." "What more?" asked Simonides. "I will tell you " Some one coming into the room interrupted him; he turned, and arose with extended hands. "Amrah! Dear old Amrah!" he cried.
