But how wildly you smile, how wild you looked when I carne in! It went through my bones and marrow." Both were silent for a time, and listened to the furious raging of the storm. At last Setchem spoke. "There is something else," she said, "which disturbs my mind. I cannot forget the poet who spoke at the festival to-day, young Pentaur.
The dead man may be forgiven for the sake of your virtues; but your love is due to this nobler soul the real son of your husband, the poet of Egypt, the preserver of the king's life." Setchem rose and went up to Pentaur, she smiled at him and stroked his face and breast. "It is he," she said. "May the Immortals bless him!"
If Paaker comes to you repentant, receive him kindly, and let me know; but if he will not yield, close your rooms against him, and let him depart without taking leave of you." When Setchem, much encouraged, was gone away, Ameni said to himself: "She will find splendid compensation for this coarse scoundrel, and she shall not spoil the tool we need to strike our blow.
Setchem looked at her son in surprise; then she said, half to herself: "Yes, yes, she is a sweet child; it is impossible for any one to be angry with her who looks into her eyes. And yet I was cruel to her because you were hurt by her, and because but you know. But now you have forgiven, I forgive her, willingly, her and her husband."
"You know my sister," replied Setchem. "She manages Mena's possessions, has many requirements, tries to vie with the greatest in splendor, sees the governor often in her house, her son is no doubt extravagant and so the most necessary things may often be wanting." Paaker shrugged his shoulders, once more embraced his mother and left her.
But I will push them aside with my own hand, and will attain what I desire without the help of the Gods and overthrow all that oppose me." "We cannot blow away a feather without the help of the Immortals," answered Setchem. "So your father used to say, who was a very different man both in body and mind from you!
And yet Katuti had long lived in need; aye at the very hour when we first make her acquaintance, she had little of her own, but lived on the estate of her son-in-law as his guest, and as the administrator of his possessions; and before the marriage of her daughter she had lived with her children in a house belonging to her sister Setchem. She had been the wife of her own brother,
I sent the maid with the litter, which was waiting outside, to the temple here for help; the girl said that her master, the father of the child, was at the war, but that the grandfather, the noble Assa, had promised to meet the lady Setchem at the tomb, and would shortly be coming; then she disappeared with the litter. I washed the child, and kissed it as if it were my own.
The struggle did not last long, for Paaker seemed to shrink up, and lost his human form, and fell at the poet's feet not my son, but a shapeless lump of clay such as the potter uses to make jars of." "A strange dream!" exclaimed Ameni, not without agitation. "A very strange dream, but it bodes you good. Clay, Setchem, is yielding, and clearly indicates that which the Gods prepare for you.
"Is it true that thy sister Setchem has visited thee, and that you are reconciled?" "She offered me her hand, and I took it?" "Then go to her. Men are never more helpful than after a reconciliation. The enmity they have driven out, seems to leave as it were a freshly- healed wound which must be touched with caution; and Setchem is of thy own blood, and kind-hearted."
