Har-hat sprang forward as the king lifted an amazed and angry face. "Back!" she cried, motioning at him with her full arm. "It is time the Hathors overtook thee, thou ineffable knave!" "I protest!" the fan-bearer cried, losing his temper. "Enough of this play," Meneptah said sternly. "Go on with thy tale, Ta-user. I would know the truth of this."
He lays the curb of silence on my lips and enforces the indifference in my mien. If I revolt the penalty is humiliation and disaster for Masanath and for me. I love her, but I dare not let her dream it. The fan-bearer hath greater things in store for her than a scribe can promise. I am thy brother in hatred of him."
The lips were of similar fullness and the chin retreated. There was refinement in his face, but no force nor modicum of perception. Below, with the light of the torch wavering up and down his robust figure, was Har-hat, Meneptah's greatest general and now the new fan-bearer. In repose his face was expressive of great good-humor. Merriment lighted his eyes and the cut of his mouth was for laughter.
Have I won thine enmity, my Prince?" "I hold naught against thee, O Har-hat, but thou hast not been a profitable counselor to my father in these days of his great need." The young prince spoke frankly and returned the comprehending gaze of the fan-bearer. Har-hat's eyes fell on his daughter, and again on the prince. Slow discomfiture overspread his features.
If I go to Tanis and find her the spoil of the fan-bearer, thine augury will hold, I return not to Memphis. . . . If she was lost in the Nile !" "Nay! Nay! put away the thought if it wrench thee so. No man removed from his place during that night. We were caught and transfixed at what we did.
Ta-user came near to the king, smiling triumphantly at the fan-bearer. "The gods sped my feet," she said, "and I am here first. Hold thy peace, noble Har-hat. Mine is the first audience." Having reached the king's side, she dropped on her knees and folded her hands on the arm of his chair. "A boon, O Shedder of Light! So much thou owest me. Behold, I came to thee on the hope of thy promises.
