For this act of self-defence the hapless man had been conveyed to the mines as a prisoner of state, and every one knew that the convicts there perished, soul and body, from torturing labor far beyond their strength. Through the influence of old Nun, Hosea's father, the wife and relatives of the condemned man had been saved from sharing his punishment, as the law prescribed.
Hosea's sword was an extremely useful tool to us; but if the hand that guides it is directed by the man whose power ever greater things we know . . . ." "You mean the Hebrew, Mesu?" "Then Hosea will deal us wounds as deep as those he erst inflicted on our foes." "Yet I have heard you say more than once that he was incapable of perjury."

She also learned that the wounded Ephraim had found shelter in his uncle's tent. Was the lad's illness serious, or what other cause detained Hosea in Tanis?
Hosea's sword was an extremely useful tool to us; but if the hand that guides it is directed by the man whose power ever greater things we know...." "You mean the Hebrew, Mesu?"
