"Therefore Thou wilt have no difficulty in breaking the treaty when Thou shalt inherit power after thy father, may lie live through eternity!" Ramses thought awhile. "It is easier," said he, "to sign a treaty than to break it." "It is easy also to break a treaty," laughed Tutmosis. "Are there not in Asia unorganized races which attack our boundaries?
Tutmosis grew pale, and shook his head. "Hear me, lord," said he; "wilt Thou discover in the night and in a multitude the men who committed the crime?" "All one to me. The rabble did it, and the rabble must give answer." "No judge will say that," reflected Tutmosis. "But Thou art to be the highest judge." The prince became thoughtful. Tutmosis continued,
"Lord," said Pentuer, "I thought the same till I read in old chronicles of eclipses. An eclipse is such a terrifying spectacle that it was necessary to forewarn the whole people of it." "That is the truth!" interrupted Hiram. "Why didst Thou not inform earlier?" inquired Tutmosis. "The warriors kept me in prison two days.
"Till the rebellion of the priests is suppressed, I place my power in the person of Tutmosis, commander of the guards. And do ye listen to him, and do thou, worthy mother, go with thy judgments to him?" "Wisely and justly has the sovereign acted!" exclaimed the chief scribe. "It does not become a pharaoh to struggle with sedition, and a lack of firm rule might destroy us."
She must be young, and perhaps beautiful, and those dull Phoenicians threaten her with death. Do they wish in this way to assure themselves even a few virgins in the whole country?" He laughed, but was sad. It was uncertain why he pitied that unknown woman for whom love would be a passage to the grave. "I can imagine to myself Tutmosis if he were appointed priestess of Astaroth," thought Ramses.
Tutmosis commanded to admit him, and when both were in the garden, he said to him, "I judge that Thou wilt bathe, worthiness, and change thy dress before I obtain an audience with his holiness?" Hiram raised his iron-gray brows, and his bloodshot eyes became bloodier. "From what I have seen," said he firmly, "I may even not ask for an audience."
"Thou speakest wisely," said the pharaoh in praise, and his face brightened. But Tutmosis did not believe his own words. He felt, and what was worse the whole retinue felt, that the masses of men had grown somewhat cool in their love for the pharaoh.
They never calculate on the love of people." "And that I know their political secrets," added the prince. "Ei!" hissed Tutmosis. "That is the one thing that was not needed." "No help for it now," said Ramses. "Send out our couriers immediately to the regiments; let the chiefs meet to-morrow morning in a military council.
The Greek sprang from his chair, his fists were clenched, and there was saliva on his lips. "Let me go!" cried he with a hoarse voice. "Let me go and drink his blood." "Where is he now?" inquired Mefres. "In the villa at the side of the garden next the river. A beautiful woman is with him." "Her name is Hebron, and she is the wife of Tutmosis," added Herhor.
But the priests gave such a horoscope to the coming child that the prince was delighted. They assured him that the child would be a son, greatly gifted by the gods, and if his father loved him he would during life obtain high honor. The prince laughed at the second part of this prediction. "Their wisdom is wonderful," said he to Tutmosis.
