After some minutes Nefert's tears grew less violent. With a weary, almost indifferent gaze she looked at the Mohar, still standing before her, and said in a soft tone of entreaty: 'My tongue is parched, fetch me a little water." "The princess may come out at any moment," replied Paaker. "But I am fainting," said Nefert, and began again to cry gently.
You mean the speaker at the Feast of the Valley," and then although she had been told several times that Paaker had been killed, she asked again if her son was alive. Ameni decided at last to fetch Pentaur himself, When he came back with him, fully prepared to meet his heavily-stricken mother, the tent was empty.
The king, four years since, had ordered a sculptor to execute a sacred image with the lovely features of the newly-married bride of his charioteer, and Paaker had succeeded in having a duplicate made.
"And do I not know it?" cried Paaker, placing himself close before her with his arms crossed. "Do I not know it? and you it was who taught me to know it.
"Had you been long bound in those thongs when we came?" asked Pentaur. "Yesterday my brother fell upon me," replied Horus. "He is by this time a long way ahead of us, and if he joins the Cheta, and we do not reach the Egyptian camp before daybreak, all is lost." "Paaker, then, is plotting treason?" "Treason, the foulest, blackest treason!" exclaimed the young man. "Oh, my lost father!
You will find him on the third terrace," he said, "but he is no longer our superior." "They said so in the temple of Seti, whence I have just come," replied Paaker. The porter shrugged his shoulders with a sneer, and said: "The palm-tree that is quickly set up falls down more quickly still." Then he desired a servant to conduct the stranger to Pentaur.
Paaker had disappeared; but the bays which he had driven into the battle were found unhurt in front of his ruined and blood-sprinkled chariot. The Egyptians were masters of Kadesh, and Chetasar, the king of the Cheta, sued to be allowed to treat for peace, in his own name and in that of his allies; but Rameses refused to grant any terms till he had returned to the frontier of Egypt.
"You mean that people will speak well of my mistress for sacrificing so large a sum for the sake ?" "Whose sake? why speak well of her?" cried the old woman impatiently. "Here we deal with other things, with actual facts. There stands Paaker there the wife of Mena.
The wild beasts shook their manes and sprang in front of their master's chariot with loud roars. Mena lashed his whip, the horses started forward and rushed with frantic plunges towards the fugitives, who however could not be brought to a standstill, or rallied by the king's voice the enemy were close upon them, cutting them down. "Where is Paaker?" asked the king.
Two sparrow-hawks sat huddled up over the door of the cave, out of which came the sharp odor of burning juniper-berries; this was intended to render the various emanations rising from the different strange substances, which were collected and preserved there, innocuous. As Paaker approached the cavern the old woman called out to some one within: "Is the wax cooking?"
