The captive was happy, for here was the end of his pilgrimage. Exemplary conduct, combined with the art with which he forced salads from the boorish soils, found him favour and earned privileges and concessions. Hu Dra kept no count of the passing months.
More especially it was the funerary chapel of Thothmes I. His tomb was excavated, not in the Dra' Abu-l-Negga, which was doubtless now too near the capital city and not in a sufficiently dignified position of aloofness from the common herd, but at the end of the long valley of the Wadiyên, behind the cliff-hill above Dêr el-Bahari. Hence the new temple was oriented in the direction of his tomb.
"Oh, what I said is nothing but the silly talk of him Dra " began Jessie lightly, but stopped when she again found herself under the reproving glances of Laura and Belle. Dick glanced at one of the girls in turn, his glance beginning to show curiosity. Laura bit her lip; Belle locked highly indignant. Prescott opened his month as though to ask a question, them closed his lips.
It was a reality, a guarantee, an assurance. Good, though gruff, the gaoler was wont to say that his departing guest gazed on the flower with almost religious fervour and mumbled over it a prayer; and the gaoler's insight was true, for in comparison with a flower, the masonic emblem, the pride of Tsing Hi's life was to Hu Dra but tinsel. It passed all understanding.,
Soon after the boy would sit down near the table in the morning and, fingering the Slavonic alphabet, repeat after his aunt: "Az, Buky, Vedy." When they reached "bra, vra, gra, dra" for a long time the boy could not read these syllables without laughter.

"Me Hu Dra," reiterated the captive as they jogged on. "Me come Coo'tow' one yar." "Shut yer mout! Didn't I tell yer before that ye're Tsing Hi?
Once a Chinaman had left the district unceremoniously, more especially at the forcible persuasion of flesh-hungry blacks, his dues lapsed by unanimous consent. He became merely a fragrant remembrance. It is so still, and the virtue is as virile as the odour of musk. To himself Hu Dra was always so.
Besides the articles above mentioned, antimony, euphorbium, horns, hemp, linseed, rice, maize, and dra, orchella weed, orris-root, pomegranate peel, sarsaparilla, snuff, sponges, walnuts, garbanyos, gasoul, and mineral soap, gingelane, and commin seeds, &c., are exported in various quantities.
"However," said he, "I'll dra' you a picture of what it'll be like when it's up;" and on the sand he drew a figure like this: X Having thus drawn the plans of the building, he leaned back against a cocoa-palm and lit his pipe. But he had reckoned without Dick. The boy had not the least wish to live in a house, but he had a keen desire to see one built, and help to build one.
Hu Dra clung to the basket-stick threateningly. "Fwhat! Resisting the pollis in the execution of dooty. Me bhoy, ye're a new-chum or yer niver wad be so bould. It is sarious bizinis." The stick flew out of Hu Dra's hands, and, as if by magic, he found his hands clamped in iron bands, which pinched his wrists excruciatingly. He yelled with vexation, fear, and pain.
