We possessed the gates of our enemies and Mizraim sat upon the shores and wept after us. "Below Masaarah, the darkness fell; the sun perished in the morning and the stars were not summoned in the night, for the Lord had withdrawn the lights of heaven. But His hand was upon the waters and His glory stood about us and we feared not. "And lo! there came a call upon Him from the shores to the east.
"The Lord God bless him," the girl murmured earnestly. "Where dost thou say we go?" she asked after a little silence. "To the quarries of Masaarah, opposite Memphis." The color in the young Israelite's face receded a little. "To the quarries," she repeated in a half-whisper. "Fearest thou?" "Nay, not for myself, at all, but we may not have another Atsu over us there. I fear for thee, Deborah."
I can not break up the statue; sooner would I assail sweet flesh with a sledge; but when it is done I shall bury it in the sands. It will wrench me sorely to do even that. During the carving I feel most secure, for Memphis and Masaarah think I come hither to look after the removal of stones, since I am a sculptor.
"Thy pardon, Hotep," Kenkenes replied, advancing into the chamber, "I had an errand of much importance to Masaarah and it was fruitless. It shall trouble me no more." Hotep lifted his brows, as though he exclaimed to himself, and made no answer. Kenkenes greeted the guests with a wave of his hand and did obeisance before Rameses.
So they thought to punish me, never dreaming that they joined me to Rachel, and hid me away in a nook with a handful to whom I may be merciful and none will spy upon me! They thwarted their end." "Happy Masaarah!" Rachel said earnestly. Atsu laughed again and disappeared in the dark. Rachel drew her hand furtively across the place on her brow that the taskmaster's lips had touched.
On the day after Mentu's return from On, Kenkenes paid the first visit to Masaarah since the incident of the collar, and the last he thought to make until he had won that for which he strove. He went to bury the matting in the sand and to hide other evidences of recent occupancy about the niche.
And need any of these unhappy creatures in Masaarah see me except as it pleases me to show myself?" He seized his oars and rowed down the river another furlong. Leaving the craft fixed in the tangle of herbage at the water's edge, he shouldered his cargo and crossed the narrow plain to the cliffs below Masaarah.
His next move was to bring to the notice of the Pharaoh that the taskmaster Atsu was pampering the Israelites of Masaarah and defeating the ends of the government. Furthermore, the overseer had treated with contempt the personal commands of the fan-bearer.
The dusk settled down over the valley. Deborah came in like a phantom from the camp-fires with the evening meal, and the pair sat down together to eat, Rachel silent, Deborah thoughtful. "Another Egyptian comes to govern Masaarah," the old woman observed. "Agistas departed but now, leaving the camp in charge of the under-drivers."
