Marcus and Dada allowed themselves to be carried onward by the throng which was tending towards the city-walls and the Canopic gate.
The first introduction of them to the Saite Pharaoh, Psammetichus, was promoted by Gyges the Lydian to further his own ends, but the first development of their social influence in Egypt was due to the enterprise of Miletus in establishing a factory on the lowest course of the Canopic Nile.
On the body of the vase, the protecting goddess Khûit is depicted with outspread wings, while Horus and Thoth are seen presenting the bandage and the unguent vase; the whole subject being painted in blue and red upon a white ground. From the time of the Greek domination, the national poverty being always on the increase, baked clay was much used for coffins as well as for canopic vases.
When the gaudy ship left the gardens of the Paneum and turned into the Canopic way, the crowd pursued it in a dense mass, hallooing and shouting. Like a torrent suddenly swelled by a storm it rushed on, surging and growing at each moment, and carrying with it even those who tried to resist its force.

X., who declared that when she met Burton she was inexpressibly shocked by his Chaucerian conversation and Canopic wit. "I can quite believe," commented Mrs. Burton, sweetly, "that on occasions when no lady was present Richard's conversation might have been startling." How tasteful is this anecdote, as they say in The Nights, "and how enjoyable and delectable."
The curse that rested on Dada was that of her position; she herself was pure as pure as a lily, as pure as the heart of a child, as pure as the blue of her eyes and the ring of her voice. He would obey the angel's behest! He could and he must save her! In the greatest excitement he went out of the house, through the great gate, into the Canopic way, and walked on.
