Well, wherever I sang, he sat opposite me, and gazed at me, and I could not take my eyes off him, and thou canst tell the rest! no! Well, no woman before or after me can ever love a man as I loved Assa. Why dost thou not laugh? It must seem odd, too, to hear such a thing from the toothless mouth of an old witch. He is dead, long since dead.
"Oh, willingly!" smiled the Regent, giving the high-priest his hand. "Accept my sincere thanks," said Ameni. "Pentaur was the most promising of my disciples, and in spite of many aberrations I still esteem him highly. When he was telling us of what had occurred to-day, did he not remind you of the great Assa, or of his gallant son, the Osirian father of the pioneer Paaker?"
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.
His gun almost burned his fingers, but faithful to his promise he kept it quiet. But yet and he cautioned his sister about this the gun would go off in spite of him, and probably register a master-stroke in sporting annals, if within range there should come a "tamandoa assa," a kind of large and very curious ant-eater.
Scherau ran off shouting as loud as he could. The old woman pressed her hand to her side, she muttered: "There it is again." "In the other world Assa Assa," and her trembling lips were silent for ever. Katuti had kept her unfortunate nephew Paaker concealed in one of her servants' tents.
An old lady properly so called, both as respects the adjective and the noun, for she was past eighty, and was refined and pure astonished my friend, by asking him one day to try and get a volume or two for her of the works of Assa Behn.
Not one of all the gay young fellows, princes' sons, and nobles, dared to touch my hand. But my hour was to come; the handsomest and noblest man of them all, and grave and dignified too was Assa, the old Mohar's father, and grandfather of Pentaur no, I should say of Paaker, the pioneer; thou hast known him.
His father was the noble warrior Assa," answered the haruspex, "and he therefore, after he himself had attained the highest consideration and vast wealth, escorted home the niece of the King Hor-em-lieb, who would have had a claim to the throne, as well as the Regent, if the grandfather of the present Rameses had not seized it from the old family by violence."

The dead shall all be equally judged, and subject to the inscrutable decrees. Where shall I find him? Among the blest, or among the damned? And I? It matters not! The deeper the abyss into which they fling me the better. Can Assa, if he is among the blest, remain in bliss, when he sees to what he has brought me?
