Leave her alone; she is under the particular protection of the princess Bent-Anat, who ran over her not long ago." "I will take her into my house," said Hekt, "and will take care of her. Her grandmother is lying there; she was half choked by the flames, but she will soon come to herself and I have room for both." "Till to-morrow," replied the surgeon. "Then I will provide another shelter for her."
Her steward, whom she sent on repeated messages of enquiry whether the Regent had returned, constantly brought back a negative answer, and added the information that he had found the body of old Hekt lying on the open ground.
But now other things have to be done besides lingering with you; now I will show you that I am a man, now that Pentaur is to be saved. Farewell, Uarda, and think of me!" He would have hurried off, but Scherau held him by the robe, and said timidly: Thou sayst thou art Rameses' son. Hekt spoke of him too. She compared him to our moulting hawk."

When he saw her sitting safe at the feet of old Hekt, who had made her way into the courtyard, he drew a deep breath of relief, and turned his attention to the wounded. "Did you knock down all that are lying here?" he whispered to his friend.
In the valley there was a barking of dogs, and soon the paraschites and his wife appeared, and, at the door of their hut, took leave of old Hekt, who had met them on her return from Thebes. "You have been gone a long time," cried Uarda, when her grandmother once more stood before her. "I have been so frightened."
"It can hurt no one, but I will take no more of it, or old Hekt will be tormented with love and longing for thee; and that would ill please the rich young lord, ha! ha! If the drink is in vain I am paid enough, if it takes effect thou shalt bring me three more gold rings; and thou wilt return, I know it well."
Near her lay a board, fitted with cross pieces, between which a little boy was stretched in such a way that they touched his head and his feet. Hekt understood the art of making dwarfs; playthings in human form were well paid for, and the child on the rack, with his pretty little face, promised to be a valuable article.
The surgeon examined her pulse, and her wound, on which green leaves were laid. "Excellent," he said; "who gave you this healing herb?" The old woman shuddered, and hesitated; but Uarda said fearlessly; "Old Hekt, who lives over there in the black cave." "The witch!" muttered Nebsecht. "But we will let the leaves remain; if they do good, it is no matter where they came from."
Feel how my heart hammers and beats. I believe it will never rest again till you yes, Uarda till you let me give you one, only one, kiss." The girl drew back. "Now," she said seriously. "Now I see what you want. Old Hekt knows men, and she warned me." "Who is Hekt, and what can she know of me?" "She told me that the time would come when a man would try to make friends with me.
