It has nothing to do with Omoroka. The word used is Lakhami, the plural of Lakhamu. This scene, the description of the monsters and the installation of Kingu, occurs four times in the 'Epic. See p. 424. Delitzsch, Babylonische Weltschöpfungsepos, p. 25. Cory, ib. p. 92. "The chamber of fates" where Marduk sits on New Year's Day and decides the fate of mankind for the ensuing year.
The doors and windows of the stores stood open, displaying limp wares of trade, but few tokens of life; the clerks hanging over dim counters as far as possible from the glare in front, gossiping fragmentarily, usually about the Cory murder, and, anon, upon a subject suggested by the sight of an occasional pedestrian passing perspiring by with scrooged eyelids and purpling skin.
In such an instant does the return of a person dissipate all the weight of imaginary perplexity from distance of time and space! I'll promise you good oysters. Cory is dead, that kept the shop opposite St. Dunstan's, but the tougher materials of the shop survive the perishing frame of its keeper. Oysters continue to flourish there under as good auspices. Poor Cory!
"Why," he would say, "I know fifty boys just like him down there in La Salle Street." Lapham he loved as a brother. Never a point in the development of his character that he missed or failed to chuckle over. Bromfield Cory was poohed and boshed quite out of consideration as a "loafer," a "dilletanty," but Lapham had all his sympathy.
She and Custard were alone in the sitting-room a little later, when Mrs. Cory came in. Grandmother glanced at the sober face. "Is anything wrong, dear?" she asked. "I'm positive I can't make it," Patricia said forlornly. "Make what?" And Patricia explained.
As, with magic effect the strains of "Hail Columbia" poured into the schoolroom, Master Cory skilfully met a moment of open rebellion with these words: "Boys, that organ is a remarkable instrument. You never heard the like of it before. I give you half an hour's intermission. Go into the street and listen to the music!"
"The grocer give me a book about raising them. There's money in hens." "I choose to take keer of the sheep," cried Bobby. "I'll help ma do the work in the house and the garden," volunteered Cory. "And I'm strong enough to work outdoors now," said Lily Rose. "I shall help with the garden and with the housework."
Cory said that with the Turcos, and the other two platoons of the company, he could hold the trenches at the northeast angle of the village, so I consented to their leaving. It was a very brave offer, and it showed excellent spirit on their part to wish to go and participate in the defence of the peak of the salient which was considered the most dangerous part of the whole line.
Justice was strict, and the circumstances were generally unfavorable to thoughts of mercy. I was in San Francisco the day after Casey and Cory were hung by the Vigilance Committee. Things looked quite military. Fort Gunny-bags seemed well protected, and no innocent man in any danger.
"Amarilly," cried Cory, "we kin hev real flowers fer nuthin' and pies and ice-cream, and we kin cuddle little chicks like ma told me, and make daisy chains, and hev picnics in the woods. Oh " Words also proved inadequate to Co's anticipations. "Amawilly, we kin play wiv little lambs," lisped Iry.
