"You urge me on and on," said Ani. "But supposing your plan were to fail, as Paaker's well considered plot failed?" "Then you are no worse off than you are now," answered Katuti. "The Gods rule the elements, not men. Is it likely that you should finish so beautiful a structure with such care only to destroy it? And we have no accomplices, and need none."

From this I shall go to the tomb of my father, where I shall take off this coarse thing, and these other disfigurements, and shall wait for my chariot, which is already ordered.
When, half-an-hour later, the brother and sister returned to the young wife, two graceful garlands hung in Nefert's bands, one for the grave of the dead queen, and one for Mena's mother. "I will carry over the wreaths, and lay them in the tombs," cried the prince. "Ani thought it would be better that we should not show ourselves to the people," said his sister.

"That is clever! that is splendid!" exclaimed Ani. "What is once remarkable never becomes common. You were the greatest of singers you are now the wisest of women my lady Beki."
