"From beyond the globe rises some horrid head reddish hair is standing on end; a face of greenish hue; the eye looking down so that only the white of it is visible; the mouth open widely, as if to shriek." "That is Terror!" cried Beroes, and he held his sharp dagger point above the globe. Suddenly the pharaoh bent to the earth. "Enough!" cried he, "why torment me thus?
Indeed our priesthood have given deep thought to this question." "May all blessings fall on you, wealth, power, and wisdom," said Mefres. "Yes, we must raise our priestly order, and do thou, holy Beroes, assist us." "There is need, above all, to assuage the suffering of the people." put in Pentuer. "The priests! the people!" said Herhor, as if to himself.
"This Harran man is not from Harran at all. He is a Chaldean, and his name is not Phut, but Beroes." "Beroes? Beroes?" repeated Dagon, trying to remember. "I have heard that name in some place." "Thou hast heard it!" repeated Hiram, with contempt. "Beroes is the wisest priest in Babylon, the counselor of Assyrian princes and of the king himself."
He insults the priestly rank, he jeers at miracles, he has no belief in gods." "But this concerns me most," said Mentezufis, thoughtfully, "how did he learn of our negotiations with. Beroes? for he knows them, I will swear to that." "A dreadful treason has been committed," added Mefres, seizing his head. "A very wonderful thing! There were four of us." "Not at all four of us.
"If the holy Beroes does, indeed, perform miracles, then ask him, first of all, if Osochar has betrayed the secret." "They inquired of Beroes," said Mefres, "but the holy man answered that in that affair he preferred to be silent.
"Enough!" interrupted Rabsun; "talk of Phoenicia." "Through whom wilt Thou learn of Beroes and the treaty?" asked Hiram of Dagon. "Let that drop. It is dangerous to speak of it, for priests will be involved in the matter." "And through whom couldst Thou ruin the treaty?" "I think I think that perhaps through the heir to the throne. I have many notes of his." Hiram raised his hand, and replied,
And since Osochar had no considerable income, a suspicion rose that that priest had overheard the conversation of Beroes with the Egyptian priests, and had sold to Phoenicians, criminally, the secret of the treaty, and received a great estate from them. When he heard this, the high priest Sem added,
The holy fathers, Mefres and Mentezufis, communicated to him other information which had come to them from Memphis: The Chaldean priest and miracle-worker, Beroes, was received in the subterranean parts of the temple of Set by the priest Osochar, who, when giving his daughter in marriage two months later, had presented her with rich jewels and bought a good estate for her and her husband.
"I have told that which was commanded me," said Beroes, "and do ye that which pleaseth you. But remember that ten evil years are impending." "It seems to me, holy father," said Pentuer, "that Thou didst speak of internal troubles which threaten Egypt in the future. What will they be, if it please thee to answer thy servant?" "Do not ask.
"And what wilt Thou say, worthiness," asked Mefres, "of the prince and the disturbances which his conduct has caused in the country?" "I will say the same as Beroes: 'The heir does not cause harm to Egypt, so we should show him indulgence. "This young man reviles the gods and miracles; he enters foreign temples, he excites the men to rebellion. These are no small matters," said Mefres, bitterly.
