Anana looked at the prince, dried his eyes quickly; and said: "I was the ring-leader. Ameni will turn me out of the place, and I must return disgraced to my poor mother, who has no one in the world but me." "Poor fellow!" said Rameri kindly. "It was striking at random! If only our attempt had done Pentaur any good!"
"You would rather she should reverence you so," said Nefert smiling. "Not at all," cried Rameri. "But I helped to save her, and I am so happy when I am sitting with her, that to-morrow, I am resolved, I will put a flower in her hair. It is red certainly, but as thick as yours, Bent-Anat, and it must be delightful to unfasten it and stroke it."
"Nay, punish me!" cried Rameri. "If I commit a folly I am ready to bear the consequences." Ameni looked pleased at the vehement boy, and would willingly have shaken him by the hand and stroked his curly head, but the penance he proposed for Rameri was to serve a great end, and Ameni would not allow any overflow of emotion to hinder him in the execution of a well considered design.

After the priests had embarked, and the sacred barge had reached the opposite shore, the people pressed into the boats, which, filled almost to sinking, soon so covered the whole breadth of the river that there was hardly a spot where the sun was mirrored in the yellow waters. "Now I will put on the dress of a gardener," cried Rameri, "and cross over with the wreaths."
Mena left the tent, and went to the stables; there he met Rameri, who was waiting to speak to him. The eager boy said that he had always looked up to him and loved him as a brilliant example, but that lately he had been perplexed as to his virtuous fidelity, for he had been informed that Mena had taken a strange woman into his tent he who was married to the fairest and sweetest woman in Thebes.
When the prince entered the court of the hut, Uarda was not to be seen, but he soon heard her voice singing out through the open door. She came out into the air, for the dog barked furiously at Rameri. When she saw the prince, she started, and said: "You are here already again, and yet I warned you. My grandmother in there is the wife of a paraschites."
"She shall soon feel the talons of the royal eagle," cried Rameri. "Once more, farewell!" He gave Uarda his hand, she pressed it passionately to her lips, but he drew it away, kissed her forehead, and was gone. The maiden looked after him pale and speechless. She saw another man hastening towards her, and recognizing him as her father, she went quickly to meet him.
"I hear a noise in the court," said Nefert. "The Regent is coming." Katuti turned again towards the garden. A breathless slave rushed in, and announced that Bent-Anat, the daughter of the king, had dismounted at the gate, and was approaching the garden with the prince Rameri. Nefert left her couch, and went with her mother to meet the exalted visitors.
Presently the king stood up and said, speaking to his daughter: "This day which began so horribly will end joyfully. The fair child who saved you to-day, but who so nearly fell a victim to the flames, is of noble origin." "She cones of a royal house," said Rameri, disrespectfully interrupting his father. Rameses looked at him reprovingly. "My sons are silent," he said, "till I ask them to speak."
