Shall I go to the Khedive and say that this night Mustapha Bey, eldest and chosen son of Selamlik Pasha, the darling of his fat heart, was seized by the Chief Eunuch, the gentle Mizraim, in the harem of his Highness? Shall I tell him that, Trousers?" As Dicky spoke, slowly, calmly, Selamlik Pasha turned a greenish-yellow, his eyes started from his head, his hand chafed the air.
David opened the door cautiously and admitted Mizraim the Chief Eunuch. Mizraim's eyes searched the room, and found Nahoum. "Pasha," he said to Nahoum, "may thy bones never return to dust, nor the light of thine eyes darken! There is danger." Nahoum nodded, but did not speak. "Shall I speak, then?" He paused and made low salutation to David, saying, "Excellency, I am thine ox to be slain."
Also, the freedom of the six Circassian slaves whom you house now at Beni Hassan, ready to bring to your palace. Also, for these slaves two hundred Turkish pounds apiece. Also, your written word that you will bring no more slaves into Egypt. Is the bargain fair?" "Mizraim may still betray us," said Selamlik, trembling, with relief, but yet apprehensive.
Yet in their time these aisles were populous, and here a score of generations have besought what earth does not afford now where the banners of crusaders waved the ivy flutters, and there is no incense in this consecrated house except the breath of the wild rose." "The moral is an old one," she returned. "Mummy is become merchandise, Mizraim cures wounds, and Pharaoh is sold for balsams."
But all was vanity, feeding the wind and folly. The Egyptian mummies, which Cambyses or time hath spared, avarice now consumeth. Mummy is become merchandise, Mizraim cures wounds, and Pharaoh is sold for balsams.... There is nothing strictly immortal but immortality.
"It may kill the Inglesi; but it will also sweep thee from the fields of life where thou dost flourish." "It is not against the foreigner, but against the Christian, Mizraim?" "Thy tongue hath wisdom, Excellency." "Thou art a Muslim " "Why do I warn thee? For service done to me; and because there is none other worth serving in Egypt. Behold, it is my destiny to rule others, to serve thee."
"See, thou master of many, squeak not thy voice so high. Ismail will take thy head and mine, if he discovers to-night's business. Go then with a soft tread, Mizraim. Let thy hand be quick on his mouth, and beware that no one sees!" Upon the stroke of midnight Dicky entered the room where Selamlik Pasha awaited him with a malicious and greasy smile, in which wanton cruelty was uppermost.
This Mizraim is the great city situated on the banks of the Nile, which is Pison or Al-Nil . The number of Jewish inhabitants is about 7,000. Two large synagogues are there, one belonging to the men of the land of Israel and one belonging to the men of the land of Babylon.
To an European it would have seemed a shameless mockery to have wished joy to this lean, hateful dweller in the between-worlds; to Nahoum it was part of a life which was all ritual and intrigue, gabbling superstition and innate fatalism, decorated falsehood and a brave philosophy. "I have work for thee at last, Mizraim," said Nahoum. "At last?" "Thou hast but played before.
So looked the Pharaohs and the later Ptolemies; so looked Mizraim, father of the Egyptian race.
