"I pray every day at his rising and setting to Re Harmachis, and to Amon, and Re, and Ptah, and to other gods and goddesses, for thy health, O sovereign of Egypt! That Thou live! "What does he wish?" asked the pharaoh of Tutmosis, observing etiquette for the first time. "His holiness is pleased to inquire what thy wish is?" repeated Tutmosis.
So no one believed, with the exception of Tutmosis, that that changeful youth had before him an object for which he would fight with invincible decision. Even this time there was no need to wait long for new proofs of the prince's mobility of temper. To Pi-Bast, in spite of the heat, came Sarah with all her court and her infant.
"That is just what I feared," whispered Niort's. The pharaoh sprang up from his seat. "Tutmosis!" cried he, in a voice in which his recovered energy was heard. "Take as many troops as Thou wishest; go to the temple of Ptah and bring me Herhor and Mefres, accused of high treason. If they are justified I will return my favor; in the opposite case." "Hast Thou finished?" interrupted the queen.
Tutmosis listened in alarm. "I or they!" finished the prince. "Egypt cannot have two lords." "Formerly it had only one, the pharaoh," added Tutmosis. "Then Thou wilt be loyal to me?" "I, all the nobles, and the army, I swear to thee." "Enough!" concluded Ramses. "Let them discharge the mercenary regiments, let them sign treaties, let them hide before me like bats, and let them deceive us all.
Tutmosis commanded to prepare twenty-five two-wheeled chariots of the heavy cavalry, and ordered the volunteers to enter. Then he with Kalippos mounted their horses, and soon the whole retinue turned toward Memphis and vanished in a dust cloud. When Hiram saw this from the window of a villa, he bowed before the pharaoh and whispered,
Then, taking Tutmosis aside, the adjutant declared to him directly that the troops were demoralized; that, because they had fled in a panic, as many were wounded and killed as in a battle. "What is happening now with the troops?" inquired Tutmosis in consternation. "Of course," replied the adjutant, "we were able to rally the men and bring them to order.
And then what? But pursue Lykon and slay him without mercy, like a wild beast like a reptile." Tutmosis took farewell of the queen. She was pacified, though his fears had grown greater. "If that villainous Greek, Lykon, is living yet, despite imprisonment by the priests," thought he, "he would prefer flight to climbing trees and showing himself to the queen.
But there my cell was very narrow, and the walls were thick; here the person calling, namely, Kama, could hide herself behind a column and whisper. But here it was terribly dark, while in my cell it was clear." At last he said to Tutmosis, "When did that happen?" "When was thy worthy son born? About ten days ago. The mother and child are well; they seem perfectly healthy.
He would never go back to that palace unless summoned, and now he thought of a trip to his lands near the sea, in Lower Egypt. In such a state of mind was he found by Tutmosis, who on a certain day came in a ceremonial barge to the heir with a summons from the pharaoh. "His holiness is returning from Thebes, and wishes the heir to go forth and meet him."
"Who will take them from the labyrinth?" asked the prince, doubtingly. "Who? Any nomarch, any officer, any noble will take them if he has a command from the pharaoh, and the minor priests will show the way to secret places." "They would not dare to do so. The punishment of the gods." Tutmosis waved his hand contemptuously.
