But this law was not easily carried into force in the monasteries on the borders of the desert, which were often well-built and well-guarded fortresses; and on Mount Nitria, in particular, many monks lost their lives in their resistance to the troops that were sent to fetch recruits. The monastic institutions of Egypt had already reached their full growth.
Only a few horses were to be taken along, and in the spring Dave and Barringford were to purchase ten additional steeds, and bring along a well-guarded pack-train containing goods to the value of eight hundred pounds.

Fearful prison-house to which there is no key but the death-groan of a well-guarded tyrant. How fearfully the darkness creeps from yonder vaults! My lamp, too, is flickering in its socket. Oh, come, come, my beloved, 'tis horrible to die here. He has broken his oath. He has forgotten his Bertha. The living think not of the dead, and this vault is my tomb. Hope no more, wretched one.
