She let the little man kiss her robe and her feet, once more embraced Katuti, and quitted the garden with her royal friend.
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."
Katuti nodded, and then said sadly: "I could bear it all, if I were not condemned to see my poor child being brought to misery without being able to help her or advise her. You once would willingly have married her, and I ask you, was there a maiden in Thebes nay in all Egypt to compare with her for beauty? Was she not worthy to be loved, and is she not so still?
While Paaker was telling her that he must shortly leave for Syria, she involuntarily observed the action of this hand, which often went cautiously to his girdle as if he had something concealed there; this was the oval phial with the rest of the philter.

Paaker stood in stupid perplexity, but he collected himself with an effort and would have gone, but Katuti detained him. "I will go forward to meet Ani," she said.
"But unasked and recklessly," interrupted Ani; "otherwise you have shown yourself capable, and I am willing to spare you for a future time. But overbusy friends are more damaging than intelligent enemies. When I need your services I will call for you. Till then avoid speech. Now go to your mistress, and carry to Katuti this letter which has arrived for her."
The man to whom I could wish to offer my hand must be of a loftier stamp, must be greater, firmer, and better than I, and I will flutter after the mighty wing-strokes of his spirit, and smile at my own weakness, and glory in admiring his superiority." Katuti listened to the maiden with the smile by which the experienced love to signify their superiority over the visionary.
To-day however Katuti had to breakfast alone; but when she had eaten a few mouthfuls she prepared Nefert's breakfast a white cake and a little wine in a small silver beaker, carefully guarded from dust and insects by a napkin thrown over it and went into her daughter's room.
