When everybody was rested and had had enough strawberry tarts, view and flirtation, we were to make for the Temple of Mut: and, having returned at last to the Enchantress Isis, were to steam away just as tourist boats and dahabeahs were lighting up along the shore. We were to dine late, after starting, and anchor in some dark solitude, so as to enjoy a peaceful, dogless night on the Nile.
'I go to drink water. Keep my place. He blundered out almost into the Englishman's arms, and was bad-worded in clumsy Urdu. 'Tum mut? You drunk? You mustn't bang about as though Delhi station belonged to you, my friend. E23, not moving a muscle of his countenance, answered with a stream of the filthiest abuse, at which Kim naturally rejoiced.
It was just on the cards, Anthony and I thought, that there might be another "demonstration" at Esneh, that unruly town where Mohammed Ali banished the superfluous dancing girls of Cairo in the eighteen forties. After such a setback as that in the Temple of Mut, he thought they would not only be discouraged but frightened.
Perhaps in all that astonished crowd gathered in the Temple of Mut, Bronson and I were the only ones who knew enough Arabic to catch their meaning. His question was answered. And this was not a stage. Those shouting men were not supers in the wings. They were in earnest.
One of them said that I looked so good standing up that it was a crime to have me sit down, but when I spoke for goodness sake get the muffler. The mut! I should go down and horsewhip him. But no, that's what us people that figure in public are bound to get.
He's a growin' thinner and thinner every minute, and Snatchet be that starvin' he could eat another mut bigger'n himself." The girl made no answer to this, but tucked Squeaky's pink nose under the blue-shirted arm and sat mute. Flukey, encouraged, went on. "Nobody'd buy Snatchet he's only a poor, damn, shiverin' cuss." "If we selled Prince Squeaky, some'un'd eat him," mourned Flea.
She talked to the people in their own language; the "open air" was designed for the people. "Kiko! Kiko!" He looked down at a coolie woman with shrivelled breasts crouched on her haunches upon the ground, bent with the bricks of half a century, and back at the girl beside the torch. "Do not delay until to-morrow!" Laura besought them. "Kul-ka dari mut karo!"
I wonder which are temples and which are palaces, Robert added, glancing across the market-place to where an enormous gateway with huge side buildings towered towards the sky. To right and left of it were other buildings only a little less magnificent. 'Did you wish to seek out the Temple of Amen Ra? asked a soft voice behind them, 'or the Temple of Mut, or the Temple of Khonsu?
"I'm making fun of myself. I can't help it. I've a sense of proportion. I know what a mut I am better than anyone else does. It does me good to admit it whenever I get a proper chance." For another interval she studied him, curiously, looked away, and again turned toward him as if still unconvinced of something, and then said, "Well, if you were wise, you would keep on being just yourself.
The vulture was the emblem of maternity, as being supposed to care especially for her young. Hence she is identified with Mut, the mother goddess of Thebes. The queen-mothers have vulture head-dresses; the vulture is shown hovering over kings to protect them, and a row of spread-out vultures are figured on the roofs of the tomb passages to protect the soul.
