The poet recognized the Mohar at once, asked his will, and learned that he was come to have a wonderful vision interpreted by him. Paaker explained before relating his dream, that he did not ask this service for nothing; and when the priest's countenance darkened he added: "I will send a fine beast for sacrifice to the Goddess if the interpretation is favorable."
Paaker's eyes rolled as he spoke, and his voice sounded hoarsely as he went on. "But Mena was near to the king nearer than I, and your mother " "My mother!" Nefert interrupted the angry Mohar. "My mother did not choose my husband.
"I will tell thee what to swear 'If I do not keep my word to Hekt who gives the Mohar into my power may the Spirits whom she rules, annihilate me before I mount the throne. Do not be vexed, my lord and say only 'Yes. What I can tell, is worth more than a mere word." "Well then yes!" cried the Regent, eager for the mighty revelation.
Iron seems to have been worked in Canaan from an early date. The Israelites were unable to drive out the inhabitants of "the valley" because of their chariots of iron, and when the chariot of the Egyptian Mohar is disabled by the rough roads of the Canaanite mountains the writer of the papyrus already referred to makes him turn aside at once to a worker in iron.
He took the sport of his companions for earnest, and his father, who was unwise only as a tutor, encouraged him to resistance instead of to forbearance, in the idea that he thus would be steeled to the hard life of a Mohar." "I have often heard the deeds of the Mohar spoken of," said the old priest from Chennu, "yet I do not exactly know what his office requires of him."
Presently Ani raised his wine-cup, and drank to the happy issue of his reconnoitring-expedition, and a victorious conclusion to every struggle in which the Mohar might engage. The high-priest then pledged him, and thanked him emphatically in the name of the brethren of the temple, for the noble tract of arable land which he had that morning given them as a votive offering.
Katuti wants a great deal of money to escape dishonor. She need only pick it up it lies at her door." The dwarf looked at the witch in astonishment. "The Mohar Paaker is her sister Setchem's son. Is he not?" "As you say." "Katuti's daughter Nefert is the wife of your master Mena, and another would like to tempt the neglected little hen into his yard."
But the princess let him say no more; she signed to Nefert, who raised her hands in horror and aversion; so, with a shrug of her shoulders, she left her companion behind with the Mohar, and stepped through an opening in the hedge into a little court, where lay two brown goats; a donkey with his forelegs tied together stood by, and a few hens were scattering the dust about in a vain search for food.
Paaker fixed his eyes upon this, but when he observed that the officer signed to the one next to him to come a little nearer, the pioneer imagined that each would endeavor to avoid having him for his neighbor, and with an angry glance he turned his back on the table where the warriors sat. The Mohar was not, in fact, a welcome boon-companion.
She lived in a house of her own, enjoyed the income of an estate assigned to her by the old Mohar, and left to her son-in-law the care of educating her son, a handsome and overbearing lad, with all the claims and pretensions of a youth of distinction. Such great benefits would have oppressed and disgraced the proud Katuti, if she had been content with them and in every way agreed with the giver.
