If it seemed to thee that Thou wert looking at me, that means that thy lover, that worthless Greek, not only has not left Egypt, but even dares to wander through my garden." The Phoenician woman heard him with fright. "Astaroth!" cried she, suddenly. "Save me! Hide me, O earth! for if that wretch Lykon returns mighty misfortune is threatening me."
"Well, first of all take care that these vile reports do not reach the ears of the pharaoh." "Why?" "Because a great misfortune would happen. If our lord hears that Lykon feigns insanity and pretends to be the pharaoh, he will fall into terrible anger. Naturally he will direct that anger against Herhor and Mefres.
"Who knows if Mefres did not act in concert with the most worthy Herhor?" whispered some one. "Enough!" exclaimed the high priest. "If we find Herhor in the labyrinth we will act as the law directs. But to make guesses, or suspect any one is not permitted. Let the secretaries prepare sentences for Mefres and Lykon, Let those chosen hurry after them, and let the militia strengthen the watch.
In our kingdom it is not permitted to patronize murderers and secrete men who resemble the sovereign." Sem, in whose presence Mefres had taken Lykon from the police, was confused out of fear perhaps that he might be suspected of co- operation, still he answered, "I will try to forewarn holy Mefres of these suspicions. But Thou knowest, worthiness, how people answer who attribute crimes to others."
"Say, rather, my son, that it comes of the godlessness and extortion of Phoenicians," interrupted Queen Niort's. "For three days the chief of police from Pi-Bast is in Memphis with two assistants, and they are on the trail of the murderer and deceiver Lykon." "Who was hidden in Phoenician temples!" cried Niort's.
"Take this dagger and go to the palace garden. Halt there at the clump of fig trees and wait for him who deprived thee of Kama, and took her away." Lykon gritted his teeth in helpless rage. "And when Thou seest him, wake," concluded Mefres.
"I saw that wretch, but I said nothing so as to spare thee pain. I must explain, however, that no one has proof that Lykon was put there by the priests, for the Phoenicians might have done that as well." Hiram laughed sneeringly. "O mother, mother!" cried Ramses, with sorrow. "Is it possible that the priests are dearer to thy heart than I am?"
