"Because she loves Mena as much as her mother loves herself," answered Hekt. "As the poets say, 'she is full of him. It is really true of her, there is no room for any thing else. She cares for one only, and woe to those who come between him and her!" "I have seen other women in love," said Nemu, "but "
He has borrowed sums of money from most of the rich men in the country, and that is well, for so many creditors are so many allies. The Regent is a bad debtor; but the king Ani, they reckon, will be a grateful payer." Katuti looked at the dwarf in astonishment. "You know men!" she said. "To my sorrow!" replied Nemu.
The old woman laughed; but Nemu bit his lips, and said: "If you had sent me to school, and if I were not the son of a witch, and a dwarf, I would play with men as they have played with me; for I am cleverer than all of them, and none of their plans are hidden from me.
"Thou speakest of shame, and not of death," said Nemu, "and I learned from thee that one should give nothing up for lost excepting the dead." These words had a powerful effect on the agitated woman. Quickly and vehemently she turned upon the dwarf saying. "You are clever, and faithful too, so listen! but if you were Amon himself there is nothing to be done "
Rameses is great and noble, and will not let a house that is faithfully devoted to him fall into disgrace through the reckless folly of a boy. Certainly I will write to him."

The gate-keeper, swinging a censer before him with a hasty action, admitted him into the sanctuary.
"Bless me," laughed the woman; "you want to play my lady Nefert, and expect me to take the part of her mother Katuti. But, seriously, having seen the child again, have you any fancy for her?" "Yes," replied Nemu. "If we gain our end, Katuti will make me free, and make me rich. Then I will buy Pinem's grandchild, and take her for my wife.
Swear to me that you will require this of him when you have saved him." "In God's name what is happening?" cried Uarda. "Swear that you will provide for my burial," said the old woman. "I swear it!" cried the girl. "But for God's sake " "Katuti, Paaker, and Nemu are gone to set fire to the palace when Rameses is sleeping, in three places. Do you hear, Kaschta!
What the noble organ of sight, the eye, overlooked, the callous despised sole of the foot found; and perhaps the small slave, Nemu, who knows nothing of honor, may succeed in finding a mode of escape which is not revealed to the lofty soul of his mistress!" "What are you thinking of?" asked Katuti. "Escape," answered the dwarf.
If that is what he thought, he was not wise, for no one usually is so self-confident and insolent as just such an idiot." By Georg Ebers An hour later, Ani, in rich attire, left his father's tomb, and drove his brilliant chariot past the witch's cave, and the little cottage of Uarda's father. Nemu squatted on the step, the dwarf's usual place.
