"But if, as today, he meets a force three times superior?" inquired Herhor. "Daring keenness means more than strength," replied the old leader. "An elephant is fifty times stronger than a man; still he yields to him, or dies at his hands." Herhor listened in silence. The maneuvers were declared finished. Prince Ramses with the minister and commanders went to the army near Pi-Bailos.
I am even certain that I saw thee at the fair in Pi-Bailos, enchanting serpents." The two young men fell into perfect humor. "But who art thou?" asked Ramses of the girl, taking her hand, which she drew back. "Be not so bold. I am Sarah, the daughter of Gideon, the manager of this estate." "A Jewess," said Ramses; and a shadow passed over his face.
Thou rememberest thy words to my adjutant during those maneuvers in Pi-Bailos? I will remind thee: Thou didst tell him that it was necessary to limit the abuses and license of the pharaohs. But today Thou art supporting the childish pretensions of the greatest profligate ever known to Egypt." "Ramses XIII," said Pentuer, interrupting, "wishes to improve the lot of common people.
Then I stated that he might receive another talent yearly in gold and silver. He sighed and declared that his daughter had spent three years at school in Pi-Bailos; I added another talent. Then Gideon, still disconsolate, remembered that he would lose his very good position of manager for the lord Sesofris. I told him that he need not lose that place, and added ten milch cows from thy stables.
His court, which was numerous, his splendid tent, chariots, and litters were left in the capital, and, dressed as a simple officer, he hurried from regiment to regiment on horseback, in Assyrian fashion, attended by two adjutants. Thanks to this concentration, the corps itself went forward very swiftly, and the army was near Pi-Bailos at the time appointed.
At last they reached a point where they took in at a glance the whole region. Toward the left stretched the highway; beyond that were seen clearly the city of Pi-Bailos, the regiments of the heir drawn up behind it, and an immense cloud of dust which rose above his opponent hastening forward from the east.
But now ask him what he thinks of the military ability of my son and heir, whom he had the honor of meeting near Pi-Bailos yesterday." "Our lord, the master of nine nations, asks thee, Nitager" began the scribe. But the leader interrupted quickly, to the great dissatisfaction of the courtiers, "I hear myself what my lord says.
At this time General Nitager, commander of the army which guards the gates of Egypt from attacks of Asiatic people, will move from the Bitter Lakes against the heir, Prince Ramses. "Both armies, the Asiatic and the Western, are to meet near Pi-Bailos, but in the wilderness, so that industrious husbandmen in the land of Goshen be not hindered in their labors.
"It seems to me that I have met thee somewhere, pious father?" "The past year at the maneuvers near Pi-Bailos. I was there with his worthiness Herhor." The resonant and calm voice of Pentuer arrested the prince. He had heard that voice on some uncommon occasion. But where and when had he heard it? In every case the priest made an agreeable impression.
