On a taboret were cigarettes and cigars and through heavy curtains I caught a glimpse of a sideboard and decanters, filled and set out very frankly.
"The gods keep thee, Son of the Sun," Hotep said. "So it is thou, Hotep. Nay, but I am glad to see thee. Methought Ta-user meant to visit me just now. Is there a taboret near?" "Aye, but I shall not sit, my Prince." "Go to! It makes me weary to see thee stand. Sit, I tell thee!" Hotep drew up the taboret and sat. "I come to thee with news and a petition," he began.
Jamieson was examining the locks of the windows. Halsey dropped into a chair in the living-room, and stared moodily ahead. Once he roused. "What sort of a looking chap is that Walker, Gertrude?" he asked! "Rather tall, very dark, smooth-shaven. Not bad looking," Gertrude said, putting down the book she had been pretending to read. Halsey kicked a taboret viciously.
He took Io's hands, which were clasped across his knee, and rising, gave the chair to Ta-meri. He found a taboret for himself, and as he put it down at her feet, he saw Nechutes fling himself into a chair and scowl blackly at the nomarch's daughter. Kenkenes sighed and interested himself in the babble that went on about him.
A pile of cushions, pulled from chair and sofa, lay before the long window, looking very like a newly deserted nest. A warm-hued picture lifted from the wall stood in a streak of sunshine; a half-cleared leaf of fruit lay on a taboret, and beside it, with a red stain on its title-page, appeared the stolen book.
On a taboret at her right was Seti, the little prince. Although he was nearly sixteen he looked to be of even tenderer years. In him, the charms of the Egyptian countenance had been so emphasized, and its defects so reduced, that his boyish beauty was unequaled among his countrymen. At his feet was Io, playing at dice with Ta-meri and Nechutes.
Later, a butler entered the room; a short and sturdy fellow, extremely ill at ease. Drawing a small taboret to the side of Kirkwood's chair, he placed thereon a tray, deferentially imparting the information that "Missis 'Allam 'ad thought 'ow as Mister Kirkwood might care for a bit of supper." "Please thank Mrs. Hallam for me." Kirkwood's gratified eyes ranged the laden tray.
"Go and dry yourself," said Clifford, cheerfully; and walking over to his easel, sat down and began to work. In ten minutes, all trace of the row had disappeared, excepting that one gentleman's collar looked rather limp and his hair was uncommonly sleek. The men worked steadily. Snatches of song and bits of whistling rose continuously from easel and taboret, all blending in a drowsy hum.
There were divans and a little taboret or two and a framework where an awning could be raised against the sun. There was also a trap door. And here, tempestuously he changed his mind again. He abandoned the goal of outer walls and chances of escape. He wrenched violently at that trap door.
The interior was not yet fully furnished. A rug of Memphian weave covered the sand and a taboret was placed in the center. Presently the serving-man entered with a laver of sea-water, and an Israelitish robe, fringed and bound at the selvage with blue.
