Ramses may act in the same fashion any day." "It is awkward and evil to declare a man of sound mind a maniac," said the nomarch of Horti. "For if people see the falsehood they will cease to believe in us, and nothing will restrain an uprising." "If I say that Ramses is a maniac it must be that I have proof," replied Mefres. "And now listen." The dignitaries moved on their benches.
These were a newly woven tunic covered with embroidery, a skirt worked with pearls, and a mantle interwoven with gold very thickly, but so delicate that it could be held between a man's ten fingers. The heir accepted this graciously, declaring that he had never received a gift of such beauty. The sun set, and the nomarch conducted the prince to the hall of entertainment.
He went from column to column to open slabs and take out hidden pots. In each pot was a cord which Samentu cut, the pots he left at one side. "Well," said the priest, "his holiness might give me half these treasures and make my son a nomarch and surely he will do so, for he is a magnanimous sovereign."
The unfortunate woman seized a blood-stained bundle from the cradle, and took a seat, without resistance, in the litter. All the servants went after her to the chamber of justice. When Mefres, with the nomarch, was passing through the garden, the nomarch said, "I have compassion on that woman." "She will be punished properly for lying," answered the high priest. "Dost Thou think so, worthiness?"
Now in the assembly was heard, not a murmur, but a cry, and it lasted a number of minutes. When it ceased Herhor continued calmly and with emphasis: "My most worthy consort, Queen Niort's, inconsolable through sorrow for her son, has abdicated the throne." "Permit!" exclaimed the nomarch of Memphis. "The most worthy viceroy has called the queen his consort.
His face was blue and his mouth full of foam." "Like that captive in Atribis, Thou rememberest him? His name was Bakura; he broke into the feasting hall with complaints against the nomarch. He died that same night from drunkenness, of course. What dost Thou think?" Tutmosis dropped his head. "We must be very careful, my lord," whispered he. "We shall try," answered the prince, calmly.
While the market place in Tennis was filling, Archias's white house had become a heap of smouldering ruins. Hundreds of men and women were standing around the scene of the conflagration, but no one saw the statue of Demeter, which had been removed from Hermon's studio just in time. The nomarch had had it locked up in the neighbouring temple of the goddess.
Near the prince was Tutmosis, his wig torn, a bronze pitcher in his hand with which he was ready to open the head of any one who dared to go nearer the viceroy. At the door of the hall appeared warriors with swords drawn for action. "What is this? Who is here?" cried the terrified nomarch. At last they beheld the author of the disturbance, a gigantic man, naked, and mud-covered.
It is true that a miracle-working physician visited her, repeated prayers before her, gave her everything to drink, and gave her healing water. Still, fever did not leave the woman, and the bronze-colored spots on her cheeks and brows grew more definite. Therefore an order came from the nomarch to take her out to the eastern desert, where, separated from mankind, dwelt a colony of lepers.
"I have heard," said the nomarch of Sebes, "that an order has been sent to Nitager to hurry at the earliest with new troops, as if those here were insufficient." "Communication between Upper and Lower Egypt is interrupted since yesterday," added the nomarch of Aa. "On the roads are posted troops, and the galleys of his holiness examine every barge sailing on the river."
