The marriage ceremony took place some days later. To Antefa's palace went the high priests Herhor and Mefres, the nomarchs of the neighboring provinces, and the chief officials of Thebes. Later appeared Tutmosis on a two-wheeled chariot, attended by officers of the guard, and finally his holiness, the pharaoh.
"Lykon," continued Hiram, "whom the high priest Mefres stole from the police and the courts Lykon, who in Thebes ran naked through the garden as a maniac, counterfeiting thee, holiness." "What dost Thou tell me?" cried the pharaoh. "Holiness, ask the most revered queen if she saw him," answered Hiram. Ramses looked in confusion at his mother. "Yes," said she.
In that case the people will flee and there will be need to send warriors, of whom there were many it is true, but not so many as would be needed, according to the' pharaoh's own reckoning. Moreover, Hiram had not returned from Pi-Bast yet with letters proving the treason of Mefres and Herhor.
The exquisite appeared at once, dressed carefully and perfumed. He looked sharply at the prince to learn in what humor he was, and to fix his own features correspondingly. But on the face of Ramses was only weariness. "Well," asked the prince, yawning, "art Thou sure that a Bon is born to me?" "I have that news from the holy Mefres." "Oho!
"That is true," answered Pentuer, quickly, "but the losses will be during the first year only, for when the people increase in strength by rest they will recover all and more in the following years." "That is true," answered Mefres, "but in every case it is necessary to have ten thousand talents for that first year. I think even that twenty thousand talents would not be amiss."
From that time forth there was no day when prophets did not assure the high priest that he was borne in the air, not very high, it is true, about a finger from the pavement." "But what is that to thy power, worthiness?" inquired he of Mefres, suddenly. "The high priest, when he heard his own story, shook in the chair, and would have fallen had not Mentezufis supported him."
"He is sleeping," said Mefres. "Is this not wonderful?" "If he is not feigning." "Punch him, stick him, burn him even," said Mefres. Herhor drew from under his white robe a dagger and pointed it as if to strike Lykon between the eyes, but the Greek did not move, even his eyelids did not quiver. "Look!" said Mefres, holding the crystal up to Lykon. "Dost Thou see the man who carried off Kama?"
Did the prince visit thy lady last night?" inquired Mefres. "Thou hast said it, great prophet." "This is wonderful!" whispered Mefres to the nomarch. The second witness was Sarah's cook, the third her waiting woman.
"I, too, have seen spirits: a young girl made them. And I saw a juggler lying in the air in the amphitheatre." "But Thou didst not see the fine strings which his four assistants had in their teeth," put in Mentezufis. The prince laughed again, and, remembering what Tutmosis had told him about the devotions of Mefres, he said in a jeering tone,
Mefres was silent and gazed into the Greek's eyes, which were burning with rage. He admired his courage, and fell to thinking. All at once he said to the chief, "Worthy sir, Thou mayst go, this man belongs to us." "This man," replied the chief, who was indignant, "belongs to me. I seized him and I shall receive a reward from Prince Ramses."
