Upon this point we can pronounce neither affirmatively nor negatively; the few examples of this kind of decoration which we possess being all from royal buildings. Upon a yellow brick, we have the family name and Ka name of Pepi I.; upon a green brick, the name of Rameses III.; upon certain red and white fragments, the names of Seti I. and Sheshonk.
"Because Melanie's intended lives there too." "Indeed?" "Perhaps you would know him too, you were once good friends Pepi Gyáli!" "Indeed?" "Oh, he has made a great career! An extraordinarily famous man. Quite a wonder, that young man!" "Indeed?" "But you only taunt me with your series of 'indeeds. Tell me how you came here. How have I found you?" "I am steward here on Mr. Topándy's estate!"
In the last two extracts given above we might read "a god" instead of "God," but there is no object in the king receiving the form or attribute of a nameless god; and unless Pepi becomes the son of God; the honour which the writer of that text intends to ascribe to the king becomes little and even ridiculous.
Pepi Gyáli took up his hat and said to Lorand in playful jesting: "The white elephant is yours. Good night." And he went away unharmed. "And now, my dear Desi, you must go home," said Lorand, gently grasping his brother's hand. "Why I have only just come." "I have much to do, and it must be done to-day." "Do it: I will sit down in a corner, and not say a word; I came to see you.
The most powerful monarch in this series is Pepi. He levied armies, conquered the negroes of Nubia, and waged war against the nomads of the eastern desert. The interval from the sixth to the tenth dynasty was marked by usurpations and insurrections. The district governors sought to make themselves independent. Monarchs rose and fell.
Close by it were found some of the most valuable relics of the earliest Pharaonic age, the great ceremonial mace-heads and vases of Narmer and "the Scorpion," the shields or "palettes" of the same Narmer, the vases and stelas of Khâsekhemui, and, of later date, the splendid copper colossal group of King Pepi I and his son, which is now at Cairo.
Not yet, O Nitocris, is the murderous crime of thy death-bridal forgotten. The souls of those who died by thy hand in the banqueting chamber of Pepi still call for vengeance out of the glooms of Amenti. The thirst of hate and the hunger of love are still unslaked and unsatisfied.
The shining distance toward the west swallowed them up. The trio on the raft looked at one another. "Nay, now, saw ye the like before?" Masanath exclaimed, the tone of her voice divided between astonishment and irritation at the loss of her pets. "Let us leave this vicinity," Pepi said, suiting the action to the word, "it is unholy."
Surely no one would have spoken another word to them. And Lorand had been so confused when Pepi uttered this foul thing to his face before me. He did not deny it, nor was he angry. I arrived at home in an agony of shame. The street-door was already closed: so I had to pass in by the shop door.
Rachel stood for a moment gazing sadly across the stretch of sand toward the abrupt wall against which it terminated inland. Pepi, already on shore, reached a patient hand toward her and awaited her awakening. Anubis landed with a bound and made in a series of wide circles for the cliff. His escape aroused Rachel and she stepped out of the boat.
