I will put her over the children." Kenkenes dropped the money into the man's palm. "I shall have an eye to thee," he said warningly. "Cheat me not." He went his way. The incident restored to him the power of speech. "Now, by Horus," he began, "am I to be denied by an Israelite that which the favoring Hathors designed I should have? Not while the arts of strategy abide within me.
You are young enough to make a wife happy, and your mature wisdom will guard my child from misfortune. Bent-Anat shall know that her father, and king, encourages your suit; but pray too to the Hathors, that they may influence Bent-Anat's heart in your favor, for to her decision we must both submit." The Regent had changed color several times while reading this letter.
"I have said," Mentu answered, raising his head as though surprised at the earnestness in his son's voice. Kenkenes did not meet his father's eyes. He turned on his heel and left the work-room. Had the spiteful Seven, the Hathors, used him as a tool whereby mischief should be wrought between the nation and her slaves? The Fayum.
The slaves looked at each other in astonishment; the wine was brought, and Paaker emptied beaker after beaker. When the servants had left him, the boldest among them said: "Usually the master eats like a lion, and drinks like a midge, but to-day " "Hold your tongue!" cried his companion, "and come into the court, for Paaker has sent us out beer. The Hathors must have met him."
I could not get in to see, and these screaming mothers attracted me, so I am here. But my neighbor's son is a friend of the jailer, and I shall know yet how they died." But Kenkenes was stalking off toward the temple, his shoulders lifted high with disgust. "O, ye inscrutable Hathors," he exclaimed finally; "how ye have disposed the fortunes of four friends!
It is like silk from Tyre, like a swan's breast, like golden star-beams there, it is fixed safely! Nay, leave it so. If the seven Hathors could see you, they would be jealous, for you are fairer than all of them." "How you flatter!" said Uarda, shyly blushing, and looking into his sparkling eyes. "Uarda," said the prince, pressing her hand to his heart. "I have now but one wish.
"I," answered the princess with decision. The priest who up to this moment had remained a silent witness of the scene raised his right hand as in blessing and spoke. "Thou hast done well. The Hathors fashioned thy heart and the Lady of Truth guides it. Thou hast broken in on our night-prayers to request us to send a doctor to the injured girl?"
He viewed the situation with enforced calm. Har-hat was in full possession of the facts. He had the signet and was absolute master of Meneptah. The Hathors had surrendered Kenkenes wholly into the hands of his enemy. Furthermore, the fate of the Israelite seemed to be sealed. At the thought Hotep gnashed his teeth.
The stone-pits were active again after the lapse of half a century. "By the grace of the mutable Hathors," the young man muttered as he dropped back into his seat, "my father may yet decorate a temple to Set, but by the same favor, it seems that I shall be snatched from the brink of a sacrilege." He permitted his boat to drift while he contemplated his predicament.
Take charge of the lad, captain, and aid him to deliver his message to Hosea. The only doubt is whether he is in the city." "No," the soldier answered, "but he is expected with thousands of his men at the armory to-day." "Then may the Hathors, who are partial to love messengers, bring these two together to-morrow at latest," said the priest.
