Leave this spot, woman, I command you, in right of my sacred office." And Bent-Anat obeyed. Pentaur was saved; for just as the people began to recover from their astonishment just as those whom he had hurt were once more inciting the mob to fight just as a boy, whose hand he had crushed, was crying out: "He is not a priest, he is a sword's-man. Down with the liar!"
Nefert glanced anxiously at the chamberlain, and the ladies in waiting who had entered the room with her, and Bent-Anat understood the look; she requested her attendants to withdraw, and when she was alone with her sad little friend "Speak now," she said. "What saddens your heart? how comes this melancholy expression on your dear baby face?
Rameses observed his daughter's action with some surprise, and the guests responded to it with loud cheering. The king looked gravely at Bent-Anat and the young priest; the eyes of all the company were eagerly fixed on the princess and the poet.
Bent-Anat now saw him for the first time in fall daylight; her large eyes rested on him with admiration, and she asked: "Art thou the priest, who yesterday, after my first visit to this house, so readily restored me to cleanness?" "I am he," replied Pentaur.
Rameses observed his daughter's action with some surprise, and the guests responded to it with loud cheering. The king looked gravely at Bent-Anat and the young priest; the eyes of all the company were eagerly fixed on the princess and the poet.
The three companions had labored on as far as the hovel of the paraschites Pinem, but here they were forced to pause, for guards drove back the crowd to the right and left with long staves, to clear a passage for the procession as it approached. "See, Rameri," said Bent-Anat, pointing out the little yard of the hut which stood only a few paces from them.
Ani smiled too, thanked her, and left her; but Katuti said to herself: "Bent-Anat may burn with the rest: I have no intention of sharing my power with her!" Crowds of men and women from all parts had thronged to Pelusium, to welcome the conqueror and his victorious army on the frontier.
"If only a few set the example, the others will take up the cry, and even though you have offended Ameni he will attach himself to you rather than to Rameses. Here he comes, and I already see the standards in the distance." "They are coming!" said the Regent. "One thing more! Pray see yourself that the princess Bent-Anat goes to the rooms intended for her; she must not be injured."
"Oh! if only my father were not so far off, and that I could consult him!" "Yes! the war, and always the war!" sighed Nefert. "Why do not men rest content with what they have, and prefer the quiet peace, which makes life lovely, to idle fame?" "Would they be men? should we love them?" cried Bent-Anat eagerly. "Is not the mind of the Gods, too, bent on war?
The prince colored and looked down; the king signed to Bent-Anat and Pentaur, begged his guests to excuse him for a short time, and was about to leave the tent; but Bent-Anat went up to him, and whispered a few words to him with reference to her brother.
