He had hardly crossed the threshold when he felt a hand laid upon his shoulder. He looked round. Behind him stood Ameni. "You fascinated your hearers, my friend," said the high-priest, coldly; "it is a pity that only the Harp was wanting." Ameni's words fell on the agitated spirit of the poet like ice on the breast of a man in fever.
When, from her balcony, she saw the mob of people and the crowd of boats, she went back into her room, called Rameri, who was angrily declaiming at what he called Ameni's insolence, took his hands in hers, and said: "We have both done wrong, brother; let us patiently submit to the consequences of our faults, and conduct ourselves as if our father were with us."
Thou hast nothing to fear from him I will answer for the purity of his motives." "But he is handsome and of powerful speech," replied Ani. "I claim him as my prisoner, for he has killed one of my soldiers." Ameni's countenance darkened, and he answered very sternly: "It is the exclusive right of our conclave, as established by our charter, to judge any member of this fraternity.

While the banquet was going forward at the temple, and Ameni's messengers were on their way to the valley of the kings' tombs, to waken up old Hekt, a furious storm of hot wind came up from the southwest, sweeping black clouds across the sky, and brown clouds of dust across the earth.
Bent-Anat then had recourse to Ani; but, though he promised to mediate for her, he came late in the evening to tell her that Ameni was inexorable. The Regent at the same time, with every appearance of regret, advised her to avoid an open quarrel, and not to defy Ameni's lofty severity, but to remain absent from the festival.
He felt as if he must withstand the speaker; and yet the powerful presence of the other exercised so strong an influence over his mind, long trained to submission, that he was silent, and a pious thrill passed through him when Ameni's hands were laid on his shoulders.
If Kadesh is taken by storm, the temples of the Nile shall have the greater part of the spoil, and you yourself, my young high-priest of Memphis, shall show your colleagues that Rameses repays in bushels that which he has taken in handfuls from the ministers of the Gods." "Ameni's disaffection," replied Chamus, "has a deeper root; thy mighty spirit seeks and finds its own way "
Ameni's order to appear before him came almost as a deliverance, and he followed the messenger prepared for a severe punishment; but not afraid almost joyful.
In a state of uncleanness I went into one of the temples of the Necropolis, and after I had once been into the paraschites' house and incurred Ameni's displeasure, I did it a second time. They know over there all that took place at the festival.
