"It shall be as you wish," he said; "it is the duty of every man to give pleasure to those around him if it lies in his power, and as your friend is a man of thews and sinews, and has a frank and honest face, he will assuredly suit me as well as another; do you therefore both follow me to my house." The other captives saluted Amuba as he and Jethro turned to follow.
Therefore, let us not bemoan our lot, for it might have been worse, and our life in Egypt may not be wholly unbearable." "That is just what my dear mother said, Jethro," Amuba replied, repeating the message the queen had sent him. "My dear mistress was right," Jethro said.
"Here," he shouted to one of the peasants who were gathered round the crocodile, "one of you run down to the water and bring up a gourdful." "I don't think she is dead," Amuba said. "It seemed to me that the crocodile had seized her by the leg." "We must carry her somewhere," Jethro said, "and get some woman to attend to her. I will see if there is a hut near."
Above all, do not try to interfere on my behalf. One man, though endowed with supernatural strength, cannot overcome a mob, and your trying to aid me would not benefit me, and might cost you your life, and so deprive Chebron and Amuba of their protector."
I will write my father a letter telling him all about it, and send off one of the slaves with it at once. He can get back to-morrow, and it will gladden the old man's heart to know that it is all arranged. I wish to tell my father, too, of my trouble." "What trouble?" Amuba asked in surprise. "You have told me nothing about anything troubling you." "Do you not understand, Amuba?
She would make me marry some one else who was rich, regardless of my wishes. No, Chebron, nothing shall make me go back to her." Chebron looked perplexed. "Here come Jethro and Amuba, dear. You had best talk it over with them. I see nothing else for you to do." As Jethro came up Mysa walked to meet him. "I will not go back to my mother, Jethro!" she exclaimed impetuously.
The men were, for the most part, given to the priests for service about the temples. To his great delight Amuba found that Jethro and himself were among the eight captives who were assigned to the service of the priests of one of the great temples.
He saw at once that Chebron had been informed of the fate that had befallen his father. "Have you heard aught of what is passing in the city?" Amuba asked him. "Yes," Chigron answered; "naught else is talked about.
But if we come upon it from behind we shall secure him." "But you have forgotten to bind Plexo," Chebron said. "Plexo is dead," Jethro replied. "As he fell his arm was beneath him, and the knife with which he had intended to strike you pierced his heart. I am very glad that you observed the way I spoke to Amuba. It was of the greatest importance that the name should not be mentioned.
Amuba and Jethro looked on with great interest, for they had seen painted on the walls representations of these fights between boatmen, which were of common occurrence, the Egyptians being a very combative race, and fierce feuds being often carried on for a long time between neighboring villages.
