Kassandane's blind eyes expressed her gratitude for this self- renunciation on the part of her son, and she said: "My daughter, I need your forgiveness too." "But I never once doubted you," cried Atossa, proudly and joyfully kissing her friend's lips. "Your letter to Bartja shook my faith in your innocence," added Kassandane. "And yet it was all so simple and natural," answered Nitetis.

If, however, you walk two or three times up and down the room you will surpass all the Persian ladies even in your walk!" At this moment a knock was heard and Boges entered. He had come to conduct Nitetis to Kassandane's apartments, where Cambyses was waiting for her.

And when, with a deep sigh, she laid aside the lyre and came back out of this dream-kingdom, the tears were always to be seen in Kassandane's eyes, though she did not understand the language in which Sappho had been singing, and Atossa would bend down and kiss her forehead.

The Greek clasped the offered hand and answered: "Our first point now is to make sure of the king's favor." "I will restore Kassandane's sight." "Is that in your power?" "The operation which removed Amasis' blindness was my own discovery. Petammon stole it from my burnt papers." "Why did you not exert your skill earlier?"

And when, with a deep sigh, she laid aside the lyre and came back out of this dream- kingdom, the tears were always to be seen in Kassandane's eyes, though she did not understand the language in which Sappho had been singing, and Atossa would bend down and kiss her forehead.

When the Pleiades had risen, Nebenchari was to be found seated alone in one of the magnificent rooms assigned to his use on the eastern side of the palace, near to Kassandane's apartments. The friendly manner in which he had welcomed his old servant had given place to the serious expression which his face usually wore, and which had led the cheerful Persians to call him a morose and gloomy man.
