When they brought in the scribe, Satni commanded him to write an act of betrothal, also a deed by which he transferred to Tbubui all his money, and all his property, personal and real. "An hour later the servants announced to the prince that his children were waiting in the lower story. Tbubui left him then, but returned soon, attired in a transparent gauze robe.
Satni wished again to embrace her, but she repelled him a second time, saying: 'This house will be thine. But, since I am no common woman, but an innocent maiden, if Thou wish to possess me, let thy children renounce every claim, lest they raise lawsuits hereafter with my children. "Satni called up his children, and commanded them to sign an act renouncing all claim to his possessions.
And dost Thou know, Kama, what Satni replied to this: 'If Thou wish, let the crime be accomplished. Tbubui gave no chance to have these words said a second time. Before their father's eyes she commanded to kill the children, and throw their bloody limbs to dogs and cats outside the windows. Only after that did Satni enter her chamber and repose on her bed, inlaid with ivory."
"She pleased the prince greatly, and when he learned that she was the daughter of the high priest, he sent his equerry to her with the following offer, "'I will give thee gold rings if Thou wilt pass one short hour in my company. "The equerry went to the beautiful Tbubui and repeated the words of Prince Satni. When she had listened to him politely, she answered as became a well-bred young lady,
"Tbubui did well not to trust to men's promises," said the irritated Kama. "But Satni," said the heir, "did better. He woke, for his dreadful crime was a dream only. And remember this, Kama, the surest way to rouse a man from love's intoxication is to curse his son." "Be at rest, lord," said Kama, gloomily, "I will never mention hereafter thy son or my sorrow."
"This will profit thee if Thou understand it." "Will there be anything about Jewish brats in it?" "Of priestesses there will be; only listen carefully. "Once Prince Satni, on the square before the temple of Ptah, saw a very beautiful woman. She surpassed all whom he had met before, and, what was more noteworthy, she had much gold on her person.
"'I am the daughter of a high priest; I am innocent, no low girl. So, if the prince wishes to have the pleasure of knowing me, let him come to my house, where everything will be ready, and where acquaintance with him will not expose me to the scandal of all the street gossips. "Prince Satni went to Tbubui's chambers, the walls of which were covered with lapis lazuli and pale green enamel.
