"What is she doing there?" thought the prince. "I have not had news from her this long time." While he was looking on those eastern hills in this way, and thinking of the recent past, Ranuzer at the head of his escort felt certain that the prince had observed abuses in the factories and was meditating over means of punishment. "I am curious to know what he discovered," thought the worthy nomarch.
Both dignitaries consented, and the nomarch exhibited so much piety that the prince was astonished. When Ranuzer left the company with obeisances, Ramses said to the priest, "Since with me, holy prophet, Thou takest the place of the most venerable Herhor, I beg thee to explain one thing which fills my heart with anxiety ." "Shall I be able to explain?" asked the prophet.

At the end of the curious but interesting exhibition, his worthiness Ranuzer asked the prince if he was satisfied. The heir thought awhile.

Escorted by the family and court of Otoes, the prince with his retinue crossed to the right bank of the river, where he was greeted by Ranuzer, the worthy nomarch, together with the lords and the priests of his province.
But just when Ranuzer felt certain that the viceroy was tired of questions of administration and economy, the latter summoned him, and asked, "Thy province, worthiness, is among the richest in Egypt, is it not?" "Yes, though we have had a number of hard years," replied Ranuzer; and again his heart sank and his legs began to tremble.
The retinue of Ramses, unable to divine the conversation, envied Tutmosis the favor of the viceroy, while the worthy Ranuzer felt alarm rising in his soul. "Oh," said he, anxiously, "may I not need to raise hands on myself and leave my house in the bloom of my years! Why did I, the unfortunate, when taking the pharaoh's goods, not think of the hour of trial?"
