And so Joseph, who was himself going to be embalmed and put into a mummy-case, may have caught something of the tone of thought prevalent around him, and have believed that to carry his bones to the land of promise was, in some obscure manner, to carry him thither.
But through all the darkening course of Israel in these sad centuries, there stood the 'coffin, the token of a triumphant faith which had leapt, as a trifle, over the barrier of death, and grasped as real the good which lay beyond that frowning wall. We have a better Herald of hope than a mummy-case and a pyramid built round it.
On the continent there is the porter below and the door opens to let you in, not just to see what you want. So in I walked, the door closed and I found myself in the ante-room of Doctor West's apartment, faced by Doctor West himself, and watched by a mummy-case standing close to the wall, a mummy-case painted with a strange, anxious face. Its gold eyes had luminous whites and strong black brows.
I've examined the caliph's mummy-case; the mummy itself has been removed destroyed done away with utterly and the poor creature's body is there!" And here the poor, dumfounded, utterly bewildered Major found voice to speak at last. "Mummy-case! Body! Dear God in heaven, Mr. Cleek, what are you hinting at?" he gasped. "You you don't mean that she that Zuilika killed him?"
The "ka" needs food, and regular gifts are made to it of all it can require; it needs guidance and instruction, and these can be conveyed to it by pictures and writings on the walls of the tomb or in the mummy-case; even its amusement and its need of society and of ministration can be to some extent met in this way.

Stealthily he slunk out of the mummy-case, like a fox stealing from its burrow, his head turning incessantly to left and to right, stepping, then pausing, then stepping again, the very image of craft and of caution. Once some sound in the street struck him motionless, and he stood listening, with his ear turned, ready to dart back to the shelter behind him.
He set the flagon down, and as he raised the goblet to his lips, he heard his own voice saying in the ancient language of Khem: "As was, and is, and ever shall be; ever, yet never never, yet ever. Nitocris the Queen, in the name of Nebzec I greet thee! From thy hands I take the gift of the Perfect Knowledge!" As he drained the goblet he turned towards the mummy-case.
I'd all the trouble in the world to persuade him that a great gaudy gilded mummy-case was not quite the thing for a drawing-room. But, please sit down, Mr. Ventimore." "Thanks," stammered Horace, "but but I mustn't stay. If you will tell the Professor how sorry I was to miss him, and and give him back this note which he left with me to cover any deposit, I I won't interrupt you any longer."
Immediately behind them followed the consecrated boat placed upon a sledge, and containing the mummy-case in a large exterior case covered with paintings. It was drawn by four oxen and seven men. In the boat Amense and Mysa were seated. The sledge was decked with flowers, and was followed by Chebron and other relatives and friends of the deceased, beating their breasts and lamenting loudly.
