In a moment, therefore, the courtiers were pursuing the departing brothers, urging and praying with all their former wild insistence. Har-hat put Masanath on her feet and started to leave her, but she flung her arms about his neck. "Forgive me, my father," she sobbed. "For my rebellion the gods may absolve me, but I have been unfilial and for that there is no justification.
But I must not attribute to his son the unfilial retort which another youth made under similar circumstances, when told to fetch some more hampers from a shed some distance away: "No, father, you fetch them, allus wear out the old fust, you know."
