"It makes me quarrel at the Hathors. The most of us deserve the ills that overtake us. But he alas none but the good could sing as he sang!" The cup-bearer dropped his indifference immediately. "Ha! Whom dost thou mean?" he demanded. "Oh!" the princess exclaimed. "Perchance I give thee news." "If thou meanest Kenkenes, indeed thou dost give us news. What of him? We know that he is dead.
"Hail to your highness!" she cried, half in joke half reverently, and she raised her hands in supplication, as if he already wore the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. "Have the nine Gods met you? have the Hathors kissed you in your slumbers? This is a white day a lucky day I read it in your face!" "That is reading a cipher!" said Ani gaily, but with dignity. "Read this despatch."
If he had a wife, his offerings would be for her too, for she would be the half of his own present." "In spite of all this," said the haruspex Septah, "you are too hard in your judgment of Paaker, for although lie was born under a lucky sign, the Hathors denied him all that makes youth happy.
My father would very willingly have left me at liberty, but my uncle, a caster of horoscopes in the temple of Ptah, who was all in all in my mother's estimation, and his friends with him, found many other evil signs about my body, read misfortune for me in the stars, declared that the Hathors had destined me to nothing but evil, and set upon her so persistently that at last I was destined to the cloister we lived here at Memphis.
"Thus far thou hast borne with me, Kenkenes and having grown bold thereby, I would go further. Return with me to Memphis and come hither no more. She will soon be comforted, if she is not already betrothed. Egypt needs thee the Hathors have bespoken good fortune for thee and thou art justified in aspiring to nothing less than the hand of a princess.
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.
Thou offerest me a pleasure and the fee shall be in proportion to the length of the journey." "Nay, but thou art a genius. Thou dost move me to imitate the Hathors, since they add fortune to the already fortunate. Mark me. I will give thee thy fee now.
The Hathors are against him," he cried. "Was there ever such consummate misfortune? What more?" "Is it not enough, O Rameses?" Hotep answered sternly. "He hath suffered sufficiently. Now is it time for them, who profess to love him, to bestir themselves in his behalf. Thou knowest how near the fan-bearer is to the Pharaoh. Persuasion can not reach the king that worketh against Har-hat.
The Hathors tortured him with an opportunity he dared not seize. How could he ask for Masanath? "I went to pray for that which all Egyptians crave at this hour the succor of Egypt," he said, instead. Meneptah signed his scribe to follow him to a seat near by. "Why may I not require of thee the services of a higher minister?" he began, after he had seated himself.
Hardly so, as the prediction of the Hathors comes strictly to pass in the tale of Anpu and Bata. Let us hope that another copy may be found to give us the clue to the working of the Egyptian mind in this situation. Once there were two brethren, of one mother and one father; Anpu was the name of the elder, and Bata was the name of the younger. Now, as for Anpu he had a house, and he had a wife.
