"If it were right we should not want to hide ourselves." "Do you call that wrong which the priests perform in the Holy of Holies?" asked the prince. "And yet it is concealed from all eyes." "How you can argue!" laughed Uarda. "That shows you can write, and are one of his disciples." "His, his!" exclaimed Rameri. "You mean Pentaur.
"And as you recognize this doctrine, I ask you, in the name of the fair daughter of Ra. Do you doubt the genuineness of the miracle that took place under our very eyes?" "I doubt it," replied Pentaur. "Remain on the high stand-point of veracity," continued Ameni, "and tell us further, that we may learn, what are the scruples that shake thy faith?"
"I have learned this, partly from my father, but partly I have thought it out for myself; and now I ask you, could Pentaur as 'a great man' have dealt with us better?" "You have put into words exactly what I myself have thought ever since yesterday," cried Anana. "We have behaved like babies, and instead of carrying our point we have brought ourselves and Pentaur into disgrace."
But you cannot carry your experiments beyond the external world, and you forget that there are things which lie in a different realm." "I know nothing of those things," answered Nebsecht quietly. "But we the Initiated," cried Pentaur, "turn our attention to them also.
The steward declared that the good Pentaur was wicked, and stood in his way, and he said that Ameni was going to send him to the quarries at Chennu, but that that was much too small a punishment.

"The most beautiful?" cried Nebsecht indignantly. "Is that monster, whom you call God, beautiful the giant who for ever regenerates himself that he may devour himself again? God is the All, you say, who suffices to himself.
If I had been the princess's horse I would rather have trodden him down than a poor little girl." "So would I," said Pentaur laughing, and left the room to request The second prophet Gagabu, who was also the head of the medical staff of the House of Seti, to send the blind pastophorus Teta, with his friend as singer of the litany.
"Had you been long bound in those thongs when we came?" asked Pentaur. "Yesterday my brother fell upon me," replied Horus. "He is by this time a long way ahead of us, and if he joins the Cheta, and we do not reach the Egyptian camp before daybreak, all is lost." "Paaker, then, is plotting treason?" "Treason, the foulest, blackest treason!" exclaimed the young man. "Oh, my lost father!
Not one of all the gay young fellows, princes' sons, and nobles, dared to touch my hand. But my hour was to come; the handsomest and noblest man of them all, and grave and dignified too was Assa, the old Mohar's father, and grandfather of Pentaur no, I should say of Paaker, the pioneer; thou hast known him.
Who can prove it? As I grow older I hear more and more frightful things!" "I know it," said Pentaur decidedly. "But I can, not reveal the name of him from whom I learned it." "Then we may believe that you are mistaken, and that some impostor is fooling you. We will enquire who has devised such a trick, and he shall be punished!
