I knaw the value of gude rich soil tu well; an' a man as grudges the rames of hisself to the airth that's kept un threescore years an' ten's a carmudgeonly cuss, surely." Rames = skeleton; remains. "An' so say I; theer's true wisdom in it," declared Mr. Chapple, while the miller nodded. "Theer be," concluded Gaffer Lezzard.
As the sun rose Tua went forth more beautiful than the morning, and at the gates of the temple found Rames awaiting her, clad in his armour, while from the mists below came a sound as of an army approaching. "What passes?" asked Tua, looking at him, and there was more love in her blue eyes than there is water in the Nile at flood.
One wakes up from it about the beginning of the last week in September. This is what I remember of his poem: An Unpublished Poem, by my late Latin Tutor In candent ire the solar splendor flames; The foles, languescent, pend from arid rames; His humid front the cive, anheling, wipes, And dreams of erring on ventiferous ripes.
"It may be so, Lord." "Then why did you interpret the dream of the Queen in the sense that I must hurry southwards to meet this very Rames and my doom?" "Because I could not help it," groaned Kaku. "That spirit who is called a Queen compelled me. Abi, there is no escape for us; we are in the net of Fate unless, unless you dare " and he looked meaningly at the sword that hung by Pharaoh's side.
But most of all she thought of the face of the young Count Rames, the playmate of her childhood, the man she loved, and wondered, ah! how she wondered, if with all her power she could ever draw him to her side. If not, of what use was this rule over millions, this dominion of her world?
"Hog-headed brother of swine, is it thus that you wait upon my Royalty?" and with the cup in his hand he smote Rames on the face, then drew the sword at his side to kill him. But Rames also wore a sword, that sword hafted with the golden crocodile which Pharaoh had given him long ago that sword which Asti the foresighted had seen red with royal blood.
But, say, something comes over me; if that happened, if I were an outcast, a wanderer, with nothing save this shape and soul of mine, and it were you that sat upon a throne, would you still love me, Rames?" "Why ask such questions?" he replied indignantly. "Moreover, your talk is childish. What throne can I ever sit on?" A change fell upon her at his words.
"I smell nothing except the lilies on the water. Let us wake it up, it would be silly to go now. Surely you are not afraid, O Star." "Oh, no! I am not afraid," answered Tua proudly. "Only wake it up quickly, please." What Rames did not add was that it would be impossible to retreat as the door had closed behind them, and there was no keyhole on its inner side.
"Hearken to me," said the Queen in an icy voice, "and tell the words I speak to Abi. The time is accomplished, and I leave him. If he would look again upon Neter-Tua, Morning Star of Amen, the Great Lady of Egypt, let him seek her in the camp of Rames. There he shall find her in the temple of Amen, which is set upon the mountain in the midst of the camp." Then she was gone.
She who can steal the loveliness of Egypt's self, can also steal the signet of the god." "Say, did you, O Rames, also steal that other signet on your hand, a Queen's gift, I think, that once a Pharaoh wore? Say also how did you lose the little finger of that hand? Was it perchance in the maw of a certain god that dwells in the secret pool of a temple at holy Thebes?"
