They have the right of sitting in judgment on each other, and I cannot interfere with their decisions; the day before yesterday they pronounced their sentence. They would send him to the quarries of Chennu.
Our friends had already for more than a month belonged to the mining-community of the Mafkat valley, and Pentaur had never learned how it was that he had been brought hither with his companion Nebsecht, instead of going to the sandstone quarries of Chennu.
The enemy for whose destruction he prays is Mena, the king's charioteer, and, indeed, he must have been of superhuman magnanimity or of unmanly feebleness, if he could have wished well to the man who robbed him of the beautiful wife who was destined for him." "How could that happen?" asked the priest from Chennu. "A betrothal is sacred."
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."
His grey eyes looked out cheerfully and observantly, but had a vivid sparkle when he was excited and began to twitch his thick, sensual mouth. Close by him stood the vacant, highly-ornamented chair of the high- priest, and next to him sat the priests arrived from Chennu, two tall, dark-colored old men.
"The enemy is not unknown to us also," said the elder priest from Chennu, "although we, on the remote southern frontier of the kingdom, have escaped many evils that in the north have eaten into our body like a cancer. "Hardly?" exclaimed the chief of the haruspices; "they are invited, caressed, and honored.
Let the ship reach Chennu with the prisoners, but, by a secret order to the captain, pass the quarries in the night, and hasten on as fast as possible as far as Ethiopia. Four weeks or even eight may pass before it is known here what has happened.
"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."
The soldier had come to take leave of her, he had to escort some prisoners. "To Chennu?" asked Uarda. "No, to the north," replied the man. His daughter now related what she had heard, and asked whether he could help the priest, who had saved her. "If I had money, if I had money!" muttered the soldier to himself.
