Leaving the studio to-day, she had gone down to speak with Herman, whom she wished to take the responsibility of the firing of the bas-relief. When she had finished this errand she turned to a figure in terra-cotta whose freshness showed that it had but recently come from the kiln. "What is this?" she asked. "I have never seen it." "It is a Pasht," the sculptor returned.
You plume yourself a little on your stoicism, and to ask for physical relief would have hurt your pride; but it is rather flattered than otherwise when you risk your life to relieve the irritation of your nerves. And yet, after all, the distinction is a merely conventional one." He drew the cat's head back and looked down into the round, green eyes. "Is it true, Pasht?" he said.
"Dost thou grow pale at the sight of the cup, thou Wanderer from the North? I pledge thee, pledge thou me!" "Nay, King," said the Wanderer, "I have tasted wine of Ismarus before to-day, and I have drunk with a wild host, the one-eyed Man Eater!" For his heart was angered by the King, and he forgot his wisdom, but the Queen marked the saying. "Then pledge me in the cup of Pasht!" quoth the King.
