Without further words he ran back to the boat, and the last Kenkenes saw of him, he was frantically urging his boatmen to greater speed, back to On. Kenkenes had come to the Nile that morning, rejoicing in the propitiousness of his opportunity. Mentu was at that moment in On, seeing to the decoration of the second obelisk reared by Meneptah to the sun.
What then of Rachel, of his own father, of the faithful ministers, of all whom Kenkenes had loved or befriended? The thought filled him with resolution and vigor. "If the Lord God of Israel overtake him not," he said, returning to the king, "then must I! For, in my good intent, it seems that I have undone thee.
There was a pronounced curve of her mouth, a slight tension in the chiseled nostril in fact, an indefinable disdain that had not been there before. It would become Athor well. Kenkenes understood the look but he did not flinch. Instead he let his head drop slowly until he looked at her from under his brows.
Mentu shook his head, but there was no more temper evident in his face. "Now is a propitious hour for a good counselor," Kenkenes pursued. "What knowest thou?" Mentu asked with interest. "Tape," the young man replied briefly. "Nay, the sedition in Tape is old and vitiated." "And the Hak-heb." "That breach may be healed. But we have sedition to fear among the bond-people " "The bond-people!"
The sandy earth had been ground and worked to the depth of over a foot. How difficult had it been for the rearmost ranks to cover this ploughed soil! The track was a mile in width, and by the nature of the marks upon it, Kenkenes knew that husbandmen, not warriors, had passed over this spot. It was the path of Israel, leading east to the Rameside wall.
Mentu remained in his house preparing for his investiture with the office of murket. His hours were spent in study, and the coming and going of Kenkenes crossed his consciousness as swiftly as the shadows wavered under his young palms.
Then thou shalt choose for me, O my generous Prince." "Follow thy father. I would have thee for my murket. Nay, it is ever so. I mold the Pharaoh and he gets the credit." "And thou, the blame, when blame accrues from the molding," Menes put in very distinctly, though under his breath. "But be thou of cheer, O Son of the Sun," Kenkenes added.
"That I know right well," Kenkenes interrupted with an anxious note in his voice, "and for that reason am I possessed to go after it to Tape." The sculptor lifted a stern face to his son and said, with emphasis: "Wilt thou further offend the gods, thou impious? It is not there, and vex me no further concerning it."
"Nay, nor lady-love, thanks to the luck of Nechutes." "Nechutes is no longer lucky," she said deliberately. "No matter," Kenkenes insisted. "I shall be gone eighteen days, and his luck will have changed before I can return." "Thine auguries seem to please thee," she pouted. He put the back of her jeweled hand against his cheek. "Nay, I but comfort thee at the sacrifice of mine own peace."
"If thou art as acquainted with the laws of Egypt as thine office requires, thou knowest that no free-born Egyptian may be kept ignorant of the charge that accomplished his arrest. Wherefore am I taken?" "For sacrilege and slave-stealing," the scribe replied calmly. "At the complaint of Har-hat, bearer of the king's fan," Kenkenes added.
