"Besides, whoever shows kindness to the nephew does not harm the uncle." "That was not in her mind," replied Hornecht bluntly. "But the invisible God of the Hebrews is not less watchful of his children than the Immortals whom you serve; for he led Hotepu to the youth just as he was at the point of death. The dreamer would undoubtedly have ridden past him; for the dust had already . . . ."
"Aha!" said the priest. "Perhaps Hosea may instil different and better views. To rule a lofty ambition for youth. The misfortune is that we who have attained it are but servants whose burdens grow heavier with the increasing number of those who obey us. You understand me, Hornecht, and you, my lad, will comprehend my meaning later, when you become the palm-tree the promise of your youth foretells.
The owner usually overlooked the departure of the flocks and herds, and the mob had marked him and his family for the first victims of their fury. The swiftest of the avengers had now reached his extensive farm-buildings, among them Hornecht, captain of the archers, brother-in-law of the old astrologer. House and barns were brightly illumined by the first light of the young day.

Their sacred animals have pointed out the way by which I can render a service to the man to whom I am so much indebted. Try to get in, Beki, and bring the youth out."
"To the youth or to Hosea?" asked the prophet with a mischievous smile. "To the sufferer," replied Hornecht positively, a frown darkening his brow. But, restraining himself, he added as if apologizing: "Her heart is as soft as wax, and the Hebrew youth you saw him yesterday...." "Is a splendid lad, just fitted to win a woman's heart!" replied the priest laughing.
I will make sure that Hosea shall shut his eyes to the other's death; but Pharaoh, whether his name is Meneptah or" he lowered his voice "Siptah, must then raise him to so great a height and he merits it that his giddy eyes will never discern aught we desire to conceal. There is one dish that never palls on any man who has once tasted it." "And what is that?" "Power, Hornecht mighty power!
