"The colossal Huni, for instance, to that puny spat row, the stuttering Nebsecht," said a subaltern. "I was thinking of that very couple," said the accountant laughing. Three other couples were selected, at first with some laughter, but finally with serious consideration, and Uarda's father was sent with the drivers as an escort.
The little man looked down at the lately rebuilt hut, and ground his teeth, when, through an opening in the hedge, he saw the white robe of a man, who was sitting by Uarda. The pretty child's visitor was prince Rameri, who had crossed the Nile in the early morning, dressed as a young scribe of the treasury, to obtain news of Pentaur and to stick a rose into Uarda's hair.
Before he made any enquiries, or asked for any explanations, he took Uarda's head between his hands, and turning her face close to his he gazed at her features, as if he were reading a book in which he expected to find a memorial of all the blissful hours of his youth, and the girl felt no fear; nor did she shrink when he pressed his lips to her forehead, for she felt that this man's blood ran in her own veins.
"Stay, dear child," said the princess, laying her hand on her hair. Then, struck by its wonderful beauty, she remembered her brother, and his wish to place a rose in Uarda's shining tresses. Two months had past since Bent-Anat's departure from Thebes, and the imprisonment of Pentaur. Ant-Baba is the name of the valley, in the western half of the peninsula of Sinai,

Early on the following clay the dwarf Nemu went past the restored hut of Uarda's father in which he had formerly lived with his wife with a man in a long coarse robe, the steward of some noble family. They went towards old Hekt's cave-dwelling. "I would beg thee to wait down here a moment, noble lord," said the dwarf, "while I announce thee to my mother." "That sounds very grand," said the other.
He had raised his hand against his fellow-men, and dipped it in blood, he desired to convince himself of his sin, and to repent but he could not; for each time he recalled it, to blame and condemn himself, he saw the soldier's hand twisted in Uarda's hair, and the princess's eyes beaming with approbation, nay with admiration, and he said to himself that he had acted rightly, and in the same position would do the same again to-morrow.
The pretty child's visitor was prince Rameri, who had crossed the Nile in the early morning, dressed as a young scribe of the treasury, to obtain news of Pentaur and to stick a rose into Uarda's hair. This purpose was, indeed, the more important of the two, for the other must, in point of time at any rate, be the second.
When they drew near to the paraschites' hovel, he perceived the tumult among the people, and, loud above all the noise, heard Uarda's shrill cry of terror.
Two men were seated in front of the hut, and gazed in silence on the thin flame, whose impure light was almost quenched by the clearer glow of the moon; whilst the third, Uarda's father, disembowelled a large ram, whose head he had already cut off.
