As soon as Pentaur had left the party of feasters, the old priest from Chennu exclaimed, as he turned to Ameni: "Indeed, holy father, just such a one and no other had I pictured your poet. He is like the Sun-god, and his demeanor is that of a prince. He is no doubt of noble birth."
"You are a brave fellow!" said the son of the chief priest of Anion, shaking his right hand, while Anana held his left. The prince freed himself laughing from their grasp. "Now the old man may come home," he exclaimed, "we are ready for him. But all the same I will ask my father to send me to Chennu, as sure as my name is Rameri, if they do not recall Pentaur."

"Order the ship's captain to come to thee as soon as he returns; entertain him with wine and when Ameni sees the distracted wretch, why should he not believe that in a fit of craziness he sailed past Chennu?" "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."
Pentaur knew where to seek Gagabu, for he himself had been invited to the banquet which the prophet had prepared in honor of two sages who had lately come to the House of Seti from the university of Chennu. In an open court, surrounded by gaily-painted wooden pillars, and lighted by many lamps, sat the feasting priests in two long rows on comfortable armchairs.
