He commanded the laborers to go to their barracks, and, without greeting the nomarch or taking leave of him, he returned to the palace. "Wilt thou, too, tell me," said he to Tutmosis on the road, "that those men are laborers from Sochem?" "But they say that they are, they themselves give answer," replied the courtier.
"He is dangerous! he is dangerous!" said the nomarch of Emsuch, while his hands and head trembled. "There is no doubt that the common people have become insolent and may rise any moment. In that case no high priest or nomarch would be sure of his life, not to mention his office and property." "Against an uprising we have means," replied Herhor. "What means?"
"During the last ten years any prophet had more power than the nomarch of Thebes or of Memphis." "I think that Herhor is preparing in secret a boat in which to flee before the 23d of Paofi," put in Kalippos. "What will be done to Herhor?" said the scribe. "His holiness, who is terrible today, will forgive him when he is obedient."
"Hebron herself entices him," said the nomarch of Horti. "All women entice men," answered the nomarch of Emsuch. "Sense, however, is given a man to avoid sin." "But is not the pharaoh husband to all the women of Egypt?" whispered the nomarch of Abs. "Moreover, sin is under the judgment of the gods, while we are occupied only with Egypt."
Again he began to shout the names of his friends, the slaves, and the porter; but no answer came from any of them, though hasty questions in the Greek language fell upon his ear. The strategist, with his officers, the nomarch of the district with his subordinates, and many citizens of Tennis had arrived. Hermon knew most of them by their voices, but their figures were not visible.
Her profile showed the exquisite aquiline of the pure-blooded Egyptian. Aside from the visible evidences of charm there was an atmosphere of femininity that permeated her immediate vicinity with a witchery little short of enchantment. She was the Lady Ta-meri, daughter of Amenemhat, nomarch of Memphis. The Egyptian accompanying the litter was nearly thirty years of age.
The wisdom and circumspection of his plans and modes of government, his unwearied industry, the moderation he had always shown, the keenness of his wit, were, each and all, subjects of admiration. "How Egypt has prospered under Amasis' government!" said a Nomarch. "And what glory he gained for our arms, by the conquest of Cyprus and the war with the Libyans!" cried one of the generals.
"Here is a ruler!" whispered the chief secretary to Sofra. "If he wished, those people would kill us and our children." The troubled nomarch sighed to the gods, and commended himself to their gracious protection. Late at night Ramses found himself in his own palace, and there the servants told him that another bedchamber had been given him. "Why is this?"
They arrived about four hours after midday, and the nomarch invited all to a feast in his palace. He conducted the prince to a bath, he assisted at the bathing, and brought out from his own chest perfumes wherewith to anoint Ramses. Then he oversaw the barber who arranged the viceroy's hair; next he kneeled down on the pavement and implored the prince to accept new robes from him.
At sunrise the two priests, Sem and Mefres, with the nomarch of Pi- Bast, received a most humble invitation to deign immediately, should such be their will, to come to the chief of police. In fact, all three entered at the very same moment; so the chief, bending low, implored them to tell all that they knew concerning the murder of the son of the viceroy.
