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."
They did so. But when, roused by long resistance, he approached Tbubui, she repelled him, saying, "'This house will be thine. But I am no chance passing woman, I am a pure maiden. If Thou love me, give consent to kill those children lest they take property from my children." "This is rather a long story," said Kama, impatiently. "It will end right away.
"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."
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.
One of these goblets was filled with wine and given to the prince, while Tbubui said to him, 'Be gracious, and drink. To this the prince answered, 'Thou knowest that I have not come to drink wine here. Still the two sat down at the feast, during which Tbubui wore a long, heavy robe fastened at her neck closely.
