I wish now I'd learned more of it at the Sem, and talked more with that French Delpasse girl that was always toasting marshmallows on a hat-pin." "That lady Mrs. Drelmer introduced me to," said Mrs. Bines, "is an artist, miniature artist, hand-painted you know, and she's going to paint our miniatures for a thousand dollars each because we're friends of Mrs. Drelmer."
"Mah frang," he said to his table companion, "wass you sink of a mane w'at hask-a one neegrow to 'ave-a one shair wiz 'im, eh? in ze sem room?" The apothecary found that his fame was far wider and more general than he had supposed. He turned to go out, bowing as he did so, to an Américain merchant with whom he had some acquaintance.
The evidence of the text does not appear to me to support the view that any reference to a watery chaos preceding Creation must necessarily be of Semitic origin. Roy. Asiat. Soc., Vol. Tabl., Vol. I, p. 130. Obv., ll. 5-12. Sum. nigin-kur-kur-ra-ge, Sem. nap-har ma-ta-a-tu, lit. "all lands", i.e. Sumerian and Babylonian expressions for "the world".
"I am certain," replied Sem, "that almost all the priests and nomarchs will do what may be needed for the happiness of Egypt and thy satisfaction, holiness. But be pleased not to forgot that when it is a question of the treasure of the labyrinth the final decision will be given to Amon." "Is that the statue of Amon in Thebes?" "It is." The pharaoh waved his hand contemptuously,
Or what man is there on earth who is without the dream of not paying taxes, since with that which he pays the treasury, his wife, he himself, and his children might buy showy clothes and use various dainties?" "Idleness and excessive outlay spoil a man," said Mentezufis. "What warrior," continued Sem, "would not desire war and covet a thousand drachmas, or even a greater sum?
"And didst Thou kill the child of the prince?" added Mefres. The Greek grew blue from rage, and strove to tear off his bonds. "Yes!" cried he, "I killed the whelp, for I could not find the wolf, his father, may heaven's blazes burn him!" "In what has the prince offended thee, criminal?" asked the indignant Sem. "In what?
The two men were rivals, but Will, being the victor, would have been magnanimous, only he wanted to be alone with his lover's dream. "When do you go back to the sem'?" Ed asked after a little. "Term begins next week. I'll make a break about second week." "Le's see: you graduate next year, don't yeh?" "I expect to, if I don't slip up on it."
Arabs have another theory of its origin. According to a chronicle preserved in the Nefta mosque, the founder of the town was Kostel, son of Sem, son of Noah; he called it Nefta because it was here that water boiled, for the first time, after the Deluge. The Romans called it Nepte, but, in confirmation of this old story, I observe that the Arabs of to-day invariably pronounce Nefta as Nafta.
"Amon is Herhor and Mefres. That they will not agree I know; but I have no intention of sacrificing Egypt to the stubbornness of two persons." "Thou art mistaken, holiness," answered Sem with dignity. "It is true that very often statues of gods do what high priests wish, but not always. In our temples mysterious and uncommon things happen sometimes.
In return for his bounty the high priest bestowed on the sovereign a most beautiful dancer fifteen years of age, who seemed greatly delighted with her fortune. When the pharaoh found himself in the hall of "repose" he sat on the throne, and his substitute in religion, Sem, to the sound of music and amid the smoke of censers, entered the sanctuary to bring forth the divinity.
