The queen and the Son of Ptah have quarreled, violently, over Seti," he continued in a low tone. "The little prince merited thy father's disfavor, because Seti espoused the cause of Ta-user in thy place, though he loves thee, and for that we can find no other reason the noble Har-hat also urged the king into the harsh sentence of the little prince.
Then the three of us would talk together, for Seti never sought her company alone or within walls. Those talks were very pleasant. Moreover they grew more frequent as time went on, since Merapi had a thirst for learning, and the Prince would bring her rolls to read in a little summer-house there was.
The haruspex endeavored to represent to his superior what a scandal would arise from this untimely clemency; but Ameni did not allow him to talk, he demanded his ring back, called a young priest, delivered the precious signet into his charge, and desired him to get into his chariot that was waiting at the door, and carry to Pentaur the command, in his name, to return to the temple of Seti.
So large a crowd had collected in the vicinity of the palace, that Ani apprehended mischief, and ordered his charioteer to check the pace of the horses, and sent a few police-soldiers to the support of the out-runners; but good news seemed to await him, for at the gate of the castle he heard the unmistakable acclamations of the crowd, and in the palace court he found a messenger from the temple of Seti, commissioned by Ameni to communicate to him and to the people, the occurrence of a great miracle, in that the heart of the ram of Anion, that had been torn by wolves, had been found again within the breast of the dead prophet Rui.
Pentaur blushed like a boy, and said, while Paaker and Nefert came nearer to them: "Till to-day life lay before me as if in twilight; but this moment shows it me in another light. I have seen its deepest shadows; and," he added in a low tone "how glorious its light can be." An hour later, Bent-Anat and her train of followers stood before the gate of the House of Seti.
He told me that he and others had been searching out my future and that in Goshen I should find a woman whom it was fated I must love. He added that this woman would bring me much joy." Here Seti paused, doubtless remembering this was not all that Ki had said, or Jabez either. "Ki told me also," he went on slowly, "that I had already known this woman for thousands of years."
This prince might lay claim to perfect legitimacy through his mother, who descended directly from the old house of sovereigns; for in Egypt a noble family even that of the Pharaohs might be perpetuated through women. Seti proclaimed Rameses partner of his throne, so as to remove all doubt as to the validity of his position.
It consisted of more than eight hundred members, divided into five classes, and conducted by three so-called Prophets. The first prophet was the high-priest of the House of Seti, and at the same time the superior of all the thousands of upper and under servants of the divinities which belonged to the City of the Dead of Thebes. The temple of Seti proper was a massive structure of limestone.
I think that these came from the bending of the brow in thought, but others say that they were inherited from an ancestress on the female side. Bakenkhonsu my friend, the old prophet who served under the first Seti and died but the other day, having lived a hundred and twenty years, told me that he knew her before she was married, and that she and her descendant, Seti, might have been twins.
Now, first one and then another as the truth sunk into them, men began to fall upon their knees, and I heard one say in an awed voice: "The royal Son, the Prince of Egypt struck in the face by a soldier! Blood must pay for it." "How is that officer named?" asked Seti, pointing to the man who had killed the Israelite and well-nigh killed me. Someone answered that he was named Khuaka.
