Form thou him, O Great Fashioner; this great one is among thy children. Thou didst become a spirit. Thou wast a mighty goddess in the womb of thy mother Tefnut when thou wast not born. Form thou Pepi with life and well-being; he shall not die. Thou hast encompassed the earth, everything is in thy two hands, Grant thou that this Pepi may be in thee like an imperishable star.
Such at least is the case in the queen's chamber, and in the pyramid of Pepi, where such a roof is used. The end walls have sunk throughout a considerable amount, and the side walls have separated; thus all the beams of the upper chambers have been dragged, and every beam of the roof of the chamber is broken through. This is probably the result of earthquakes.
Hearing of the stout aunt, Pepi laughed and then began to feign horror. "Great heavens, Lorand: the seven fat kine of the Old Testament will be there in one: and one of us must dance with this monster. One of us will have to move from its place that mountain, which even Mahomet could not induce to stir, and waltz with it. Please undertake it for my sake."
Márton irritated me the whole night with his satire, the assistants jostled me, and drove me from my place; they sang the "Kneading-trough" air, and many other street-songs: and amid all these abominations I studied till morning; what is more, I finished all my work. That night, I know, was one of the turning-points in my life. Two days later came Sunday: I met Pepi in the street.
"What kind?" asked Pepi with a playful expression. "A kind of dance at which one of us must die." Therewith he handed him the lilac-coloured letter which Hermine had written to him: "Read that." Gyáli read these lines: "Gyáli handed over the album-leaf you wrote on. All is betrayed." The dandy smiled, and placed his hands behind him.
Like a flash of lightning rending the darkness of the midnight heavens, the gap of oblivion between his lives was rent, and the light flamed into his soul. Phadrig had lied to him. The daughter of Rameses had not died that night in the banqueting chamber of the Palace of Pepi. She had lived and reigned virgin queen of the Sacred Land.
That simulation, that comedy of cynical frivolity, would be difficult to play before him. The new arrival was waiting for him in the reception room. When Lorand opened the door and stood face to face with him, an entirely new surprise awaited him. The young cavalier who had thus hastened to find him was not his brother Desi, but Pepi Gyáli.
Pepi lacketh nothing. If Pepi falleth into the water Osiris will lift him out, and the Two Companies of the Gods will bear him up on their shoulders, and Rā, wheresoever he may be, will give him his hand. He taketh his seat on the crystal throne, which hath faces of fierce lions and feet in the form of the hoofs of the Bull Sma-ur.
