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."
"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."
Ani gave her his hand and asked: "Did you also as my friend speak to Bent-Anat? Do I interpret your silence rightly?" Katuti sadly shook her head; but Ani went on: "Yesterday that would have decided me to give her up; but to-day my courage has risen, and if the Hathors be my friends I may yet win her."
Straight through the corridors toward the royal apartments she went. Her copper eyes had taken on a luminousness that was visible in the dark. There was an elasticity in her step that spoke of exultation. The Hathors were indulging her beyond reason. A soldier of the royal guard paced outside the doorway of the king's apartments.
The very letter which gave them explicit and formal permission to begin to get ready to commence to put away the Hebrew, fell by the mischievous Hathors! fell into the hands of the victim himself!" Rameses fell back into his chair, his lips twitching once or twice, a manifestation of his genuine amusement. "As it follows, the Israelite is angry.
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.
If thou art false, thou art the instrument of Set, whom the Hathors have given to overthrow Egypt. If thou art true, the Pharaoh shall return safe to his capital in Memphis. The gratitude of Egypt will be sufficient reward." "And I take the message?" Jambres nodded. "Art thou armed?" he asked, bending again to look into the compartment he had opened. "Except for my dagger, nay."
It may be, but to me it seemeth that the Hebrew sorcerer hath cast a protecting spell over the spot. But whatever the cause, the race of churls and their riches have escaped misfortune. Thinkest thou not, good Hotep, that, if they must go, we may by right require their flocks of them to replenish the pastures of Egypt?" Surely the Hathors were exploiting themselves this day.
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 he was born under a lucky sign, the Hathors denied him all that makes youth happy.
