But Thou canst not be my adviser, though I beg thee to form a council to investigate the riots of working men, and, when I summon thee, declare what thy wisdom enjoins." Pentuer knelt down in taking farewell of his lord. "In every case," added the pharaoh, "know this, that I have no desire to quench the divine light.
"Then what will be the end of this hatred between him and you?" inquired Pentuer. "Hatred!" repeated Herhor. "Could I hate a frivolous fellow, who, moreover, is surrounded, like a deer in a ravine by hunters! But I must confess that his rule is so full of danger that if Ramses had a brother, or if Nitager were younger, we should set aside the present pharaoh."
"But from whom did he learn of the coming of Beroes, even of his interview with Mefres, Herhor, and Pentuer, in the temple of Set?" The high priest Sem, seizing his head with both hands, walked up and down through the cell. "Impossible!" said he. "Impossible! Has any one cast a spell over that young man? Perhaps the Phoenician priestess, whom he stole from the temple."
"In every case remember, prince, that the pharaoh's treasury pays today twenty-four thousand talents to officials, while it gave only ten thousand during the nineteenth dynasty." Deep silence reigned among the dignitaries, for more than one of them had a relative in office, well paid moreover. But Pentuer was unterrified.
They are a few hundred yards from us and have tired horses." "We will come back in an hour with him. He is only an arm's length from us!" whispered some Asiatic. "Patrokles, Tutmosis, I leave the army to you!" cried the heir. "Rest. I will come back immediately." He put spurs to his horse and advanced at a trot, sinking in the sand, and behind him about twenty horsemen, with Pentuer.
"Or tell me, Pentuer," continued the minister, "and inquire: whence will the heir get his twenty talents to keep the promise which he made this day to the army with such improvidence?
"Hence Thou mayest estimate more accurately than others the acts and reasons of the heir, may he live through eternity!" The minister stopped awhile, and then added, "It has not been his custom to speak so much. Tell me then, Pentuer, and record this: Is it proper that the heir to the throne should express his will before the army?
When Herhor issued commands, the adjutant bearing the fan approached Pentuer and asked, "Will it be possible to go by this highway again?" "Why not?" answered the young priest. "But since two sacred beetles have barred the way now, we must not go farther; some misfortune might happen." "As it is, a misfortune has happened.
That was immediately after the maneuvers." "That same day, when Thou hadst compassion on the man who hanged himself through despair because his canal was destroyed," answered the priest. "Thou didst save my house and the Jewess Sarah from the rabble who wished to stone her." "I did," said Pentuer.
We cannot forewarn the people now, but at least inform the troops at the palace, so that they, too, should not give way to panic." Ramses clapped his hands. "Ah, it is too bad!" whispered he, and added aloud. "When will it be, and what will take place?" "Day will become night," said Pentuer. "This will last as much time, perhaps, as is needed in walking five hundred yards.
