Which is the lonelier do you think, you or I?" "I," said Nefert. "For no one is so lonely as a wife parted from the husband her heart longs after." "But you trust Mena's love for you?" asked Bent-Anat. Nefert pressed her hand to her heart and nodded assent: "And he will return, and with him your happiness." "I hope so," said Nefert softly.
Then Rameses helped him to unfasten the rope from round his waist to fasten it to the end of a beam. Rameri now loosened the other end, and followed Mena's example; he too, practised in athletic exercises in the school of the House of Seti, succeeded in accomplishing the three tremendous leaps, and soon the king stood in safety on the ground.
"Aye, aye!" said Hekt. "You will have to keep an eye upon her when she is your wife." "I will treat her like the wife of a noble," said Nemu. "And pay a real lady to guard her. But by this time Katuti has brought home her daughter, Mena's wife; the stars are sinking and there that was the first signal. When Katuti whistles the third time we are to go to work. Lend me your fire-box, mother."
"To-day I cannot fear the worst. Mena's star, the haruspex told me, stands under the sign of happiness, and I enquired of the oracle in the temple of Besa, and heard that my husband is prospering. I have prayed in the temple till I am quite content. Only speak!
The pioneer could not but observe Katuti's agitation, and he said in a tone of sympathy: "I perceive that you are in pain, or in trouble. The master of Mena's stud at Hermonthis has no doubt been with you No? He came to me yesterday, and asked me to allow him to join my troops. He is very angry with you, because he has been obliged to sell some of Mena's gold-bays.
"You know my sister," replied Setchem. "She manages Mena's possessions, has many requirements, tries to vie with the greatest in splendor, sees the governor often in her house, her son is no doubt extravagant and so the most necessary things may often be wanting." Paaker shrugged his shoulders, once more embraced his mother and left her.
Our friends, after they had laid their wreaths on the magnificent altars of their royal ancestors without being recognized, late in the afternoon joined the throng who followed the procession. They mounted the eastern cliff of the hills close by the tomb of Mena's forefathers, which a prophet of Amon, named Neferhotep Mena's great-grandfather had constructed.
"Stay!" said Paaker, turning his back on the lady; and mounting a block of stone by the side of the gorge, he cast a practised glance all round, and returned to Nefert: "I have found a shady spot," he said, "out there." Mena's wife followed with her eyes the indication of his hand, and shook her head.

I never saw a woman more knocked down than she is by that adventure of Vera's." "I know," said Magdalen, rousing herself. "It has made her look ten years older, and she could not talk it over or let a word be said to comfort her. She says it was all her fault, and I should have thought it was that silly little Sister Mena's, if that is her name.
