"It's a mighty risky job, guv'nor, these times, driving a keb through London streets. Still, one's got to live, I suppose. 'Old up there my Gawd, that's another of those bombs! You just got out of there in time, sir." Even as though it had been timed, as it might well have been, a torpedo dropped from a ghostly shape drifting slowly across the grey November clouds.
At last the clop-clop-clop of a horse's hoofs sounded close by, and an unshaven man in an ancient high hat steered a four-wheeler to the curb, barking: "Keb, keb!" Bob lurched forward and laid a hand upon the driver's knee. "Very man I'm lookin' for." The hiccup that followed was by no means intentional. "Yes, sir. Where to, sir?"
This identification of the dead man with the dead god Osiris was later enlarged to include all men, and became in the Ptolemaic period the most characteristic feature of the Egyptian conception of life after death. Keb gave Osiris his dominion, the earth, and made him the god of the earth, and he ruled justly and powerfully.
And so doing Dominic turned cold and a little faint. He would not condescend to look back; but he had recognised Alaric Barking, and was in no doubt which house he had entered. "Keb, sir? 'Ere yer are, sir," the cabby called cheerily. "Very cold night. Just set one gentleman down, and 'appy to tike another up.
We have now five gods in existence; Khepera, the creative principle, Shu, the atmosphere, Tefnut, the waters above the heavens, Nut, the Sky-goddess, and Keb, the Earth-god. Presumably about this time the sun first rose out of the watery abyss of Nu, and shone upon the world and produced day. In early times the sun, or his light, was regarded as a form of Shu.
But what business of theirs was it? The money felt good. "All right, bo," they agreed. Thundering down the platform came the afternoon train, a great event in the town life. As the baggage was being tossed off, the passengers alighted and the five hackmen swarmed at them. "Keb, sir, kerridge. Taxi, lady!" From the Pullman alighted a widow, in deep mourning.
Thy members shall not receive the fire of that which is thy poison. Thou shalt not go backwards on the land, and thou shalt not be brought low on the water. Thou art the son of the sublime god 82 who proceeded from Keb. Thou art Horus, and the poison shall not gain the mastery over thy members.
Possibly in an earlier period the long narrow valley, or even a section of it, may have suggested the figure of a man lying prone upon his back. Such was Keb, the Earth-god, whose counterpart in the sky was the goddess Nut, her feet and hands resting at the limits of the world and her curved body forming the vault of heaven.
"The Earl of Fairholme, Stanhope Gate." "Curious," thought Brett. "Where is his lordship?" he said aloud "at the door, or in the street?" "In a keb, sir." "Bring his lordship up." A rapid glance at "Debrett" revealed that the Earl of Fairholme was thirty, unmarried, the fourteenth of his line, and the possessor of country seats at Fairholme, Warwickshire, and Glen Spey, Inverness.
They gave no evidence of it until they had reached their own precincts. Then, like a dog that hesitates to bark until he is within the confines of his own yard, they "cut loose." Taxicab chauffeurs were bawling for customers. Hackmen with ancient horses sent out their call of: "Keb! Keb! Hack, sir! Have a keb!" The motor bus of the Hotel Taft was being jammed with prosperous looking individuals.
