There were always two gentlemen and two lady dancers in the house party; the beautiful wife of the P. C. and Fraülein Matild, the governess: Lorand and Pepi Gyáli. Pepi was the son of a court agent at Vienna, and his father was a very good friend of Bálnokházy; his mother had once been ballet-dancer at the Vienna opera a fact I only learned later.
When its use was at last discontinued in the tenth century of our era, the cultivation of the papyrus ceased also, and it became extinct in its ancient home. Tradition, however, asserted that leather had been employed by the scribe before papyrus, and in the time of Pepi of the Sixth dynasty a description of the plan of the temple of Dendera was discovered inscribed on parchment.
Masanath would hunt for wild-duck and marsh-hen, while there was yet time. It was an hour after sunrise. Her raft, built of papyrus, was boat-shaped and graceful as a swan. Pepi was at the long-handled sweep in the stern. Masanath sat in the middle, which was heaped with nets, throw-sticks, and bows and arrows.
In an instant she travelled back through fifty centuries to the scene of the death-bridal of her other self, Nitocris the Queen, in the banqueting-hall of the Palace of Pepi. Then it had lain gleaming on her breast, and now she saw it again with the eyes of flesh, after nearly five thousand years.
Rioting crews of river-men fought for first landing at the accessible places on the banks. Memphis shrieked and the pastures became compounds of wild beasts that deafened heaven with their savage bellowing. Pepi and Nari had no thought of saving themselves. It was Masanath who must save them. They clung to her, dragging her down with their arms when she attempted to rise.
VIII. The INSTRUCTIONS, OR PRECEPTS OF TUAUF to his son Pepi. These "Instructions" in reality represent the advice of a father to his son, whom he was sending to school to be trained for the profession of the scribe.
"Have you any appetite?" inquired Pepi scornfully. "Just enough to eat a gingerbread-hussar like you." Lorand laughed uncontrollably at this remark of mine. "Gingerbread-hussar! you have got it from him, Pepi." I was quite flushed with pride at being able to make Lorand laugh. But Pepi, on the contrary, became quite serious.
Troubled and wondering, Masanath ordered that he be brought. In a few minutes, Pepi stood before her. The taciturn servant was visibly frightened. "Pepi!" she cried. "What brings thee here?" "I have lost the Israelite," he faltered. "Thou hast lost Rachel!" "Hear me, my Lady, I pray thee.
Anubis realized his moment of freedom was short and with an instant bound he was out and gone. In no little dismay Rachel started in pursuit, but she had not moved ten paces from the bottom of the steps before she paused, transfixed. An Egyptian, not Pepi, was hauling a boat into the reeds. The craft secure, he turned up the slant, walking rapidly. There was no mistaking that commanding stature.
"Dear me!" the Professor heard himself say as he sat up and rubbed his eyes, "what on earth can be the matter with me? Egypt the Queen Palace of Pepi bridal feast of Nitocris and Menkau-Ra yes, yes, of course I remember it all now.
