As they set down their glasses, a strange cry sounded from below, a stifled call, inarticulate, but in such a key of distress that all four faced about, and listened intently. "Kom down," called a hesitating voice, "kom down and look-see." They sprang to the stairs, and clattered downward. Dim radiance flooded the landing, from the street door.
"No, never, Shoni; I will never go back there again, so don't bring the gig for me; but if you will kindly send my big box to the Rock Bridge, I will send somebody across for it." "'S' no need for you to do that. I will take it down to the shore on the whilbare and row it over in Simon Lewis's boat. I will kom before dawn tomorrow, then no one will know where you are.
It was not till I took very energetic measures that he would stop, which amused the Voivoda immensely. P.'s horse was ill in fact, it was his last journey. A few days afterwards he died from inflammation of the lungs, contracted at Velika that day. We went for a few days' shooting on the Vasojevićki Kom, and were handed over by the Voivoda to one called Vaso, a rich peasant of the district.
The grassy plateau was about five thousand feet high and bitterly cold at night; below us, on either side, stretched great beech forests, and the Kom rose abruptly before us. Our hut was large and roomy, but draughty to an extreme. At night the icy wind whistled through its crevices, and we had to bury our heads in blankets.
OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. Well, why don't you kiss me, Lázar Elizárych? PODKHALYÚZIN. Why, sure! Permit me, ma'am! With great pleasure! OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. What shall I say to you? PODKHALYÚZIN. Oh, say anything any little thing, ma'am. It's all the same to me, ma'am! OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. Kom voo zet zholi! PODKHALYÚZIN. What does that mean, ma'am? OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. How nice you are!
Immense boulders, with an occasional tree growing out of a crevice, and every here and there clumps of firs, every yard affording excellent cover for a hidden enemy. Our destination was Carina, a collection of stone huts on an open green slope, which reaches up to the rocky sides of the Kom.
Close to Kom Ombos some soul imbued with romance has had the inspiration to set up a factory! And Philae is it to go? Is beauty then of no value in the world? Is it always to be the prey of modern progress? Is nothing to be considered sacred; nothing to be left untouched, unsmirched by the grimy fingers of improvement? I suppose nothing.
It was only after we had passed Sir Ernest Cassell's red house, with the smoky irrigation works where fourteen hundred Arabs have chased the desert into the background, and after we had visited the splendid twin temples of Light and Darkness at Kom Ombo, towering majestically above the Nile bank, that I found time to catechize and lecture Miss Guest.
As we drew gently near, they rose in black throngs, and skimmed low into the distance of the wintry landscape, trailing their legs behind them, like the duck on the wall of Kom Ombos. There was no duck for dinner in camp that night, and the cook was inconsolable. But I had seen a relief come to life, and surmounted my disappointment.
"Hendchen, Hendchen," she cooed in her consoling tones, "to house to house, I am so angry hangry." "Hungry." "Hungry, yes, and Minna and Clara is ready. Kom!" The child linked arms with her and pulled Miriam towards the corridor. Once out of sight under the gallery she slipped her arm round Miriam's waist.
