He had hitherto dared to indulge his desire for love and revenge in thought only, and had left it to the Gods to act for themselves; now he had taken his cause out of the hand of the Celestials, and gone into action without them, and in spite of them. The sorceress Hekt passed him; she wanted to see the woman for whom she had given him the philter.

He who followed the black arts of magic, should, according to the law, be punished by death, and the old woman had a bad name for her evil arts; but he had not sought her for the sake of the philter.
"I saw the girl's slender fingers close spasmodically on the phial, and the dead whiteness returned to her face. "'Oh! it is "Then the gipsy broke in. 'It is a love philter something that will make her sweetheart tender and faithful would the senorita like to buy one? "I turned my eyes on Zillah; she was still pale, and trembled visibly.
And the magic philter which you drank in that Gallic wine will put you at my mercy, quiet as a corpse." The "horse-dealer" spoke true. These words were the last I remember. A leaden torpor fell upon me, and I lost all knowledge of what was done with me.

No other young man of the rank to which they belonged, would have allowed himself to be so mastered by his passion for a woman as this Paaker was, who went straight to his aim with stubborn determination, and shunned no means that might lead to it.
And how they had flattered and praised, and curried favor with the divinity of the hour!

I gave him one, and as I was curious I went after him, saw him give the water to the little lady, and found out her name." "And Nefert drank the magic drink?" asked the dwarf horrified.
With her magnificent eyes cast down, and her whole figure bowed as if by some invisible power, she seemed to deprecate my scorn or anger. I was angry. What did she want with the philter in her hand to whom was it applicable? "'Foolish, ignorant girl, I said. 'So it was for this poor fraud you wanted money. Zillah, I thought you had more sense? "The girl stood up more firmly.
