I cannot even divine, therefore, where we could get thirty thousand talents." "But the treasury of the labyrinth." "That is a treasury of the gods, to be touched only at a moment when the state is in supreme need," replied Mefres. Ramses XIII boiled up with anger. "If earth-tillers do not need this sum, I do," said he, striking his fist on the arm of the chair.
Hence we will honor our new lord so that he may enjoy health and protect us from ruin." In this way the opposition of dignitaries, very strong some mouths earlier, had grown silent and yielded to boundless obedience. The whole aristocracy, all the priests, fell on their faces before Ramses XIII; Mefres and Herhor alone were unshaken.

"And we were so sure of knowing his character that when he returned from the temple of Hator we ceased even to exercise control over him."
