So Assa's grandchild, the son of the Mohar, grew up as the gardener's child, and received the name of Pentaur, and he was brought up in the temple here, and is wonderfully like Assa; but the gardener's monstrous brat is the pioneer Paaker. That is the whole secret." Ani had listened in silence to the terrible old woman.
"Explain that thou hadst learned what they proposed doing with Pentaur at Chennu, and that thy word indeed was kept, but that a criminal could not be left unpunished.

I had plenty of money, and I spent it in buying of everyone who professed magic in Thebes, potions to recover Assa's love for me, or in paying for spells to be cast on him, or for magic drinks to destroy him. I tried too to recover my voice, but the medicines I took for it made it rougher not sweeter.
"Assa's race must be exterminated!" muttered the old woman hoarsely. She gazed at the ground, reflecting. "Let the boat be scuttled," she said at last, "and sink with the chained prisoners before it reaches Chennu." "No-no; I thought of that myself, and Nemu too advised it," cried Ani.
