While these gathered round the scribes, the Regent Ani sat with quiet dignity on the throne, surrounded by his suite and his secretaries, and held audiences. He was a man at the close of his fortieth year and the favorite cousin of the king. Rameses I., the grandfather of the reigning monarch, had deposed the legitimate royal family, and usurped the sceptre of the Pharaohs.
Already she had begun to consider them as her not Nigel's black slaves. But that horrid little intelligent, untrustworthy French girl "I have tell the French mees we are goin' to see a temple in the mountains a temple that is wonderful indeed, all full of Rameses. I have tell her we may be late." Mrs. Armine looked sharply into the boy's gentle, shining eyes.
With bodies thus rendered vigorous by labor and discipline, they were fitted for distant expeditions. Rameses first subdued the Arabians and Libyans, and annexed them to the Egyptian monarchy. While he inured his subjects to fatigue and danger, he was careful to win their affections by acts of munificence and clemency.
She looked at him not unkindly, as if sorrow and wrong had softened her heart also, but she did not speak. "Can dead Love waken, Meriamun, and can angry Love forgive?" She had lifted the lute and her fingers touched listlessly on the cords. "Nay, I know not," she said; "who knows? How did Pentaur sing of Love's renewal, Pentaur the glorious minstrel of our father, Rameses Miamun?"
"But you have not given a true account of all that happened. Why have you concealed that Bent-Anat Rameses' daughter was mixed up in the fray, and that she saved you by announcing her name to the people, and commanding them to leave you alone? When you gave her the lie before all the people, was it because you did not believe that it was Bent-Anat?
His table and throne stood on a low dais covered with panther-skin; but even without that Rameses would have towered above his companions. His form was powerful, and there was a commanding aspect in his bearded face, and in the high brow, crowned with a golden diadem adorned with the heads of two Uraeus-snakes, wearing the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt.
When the physician had satisfied himself that Uarda was sleeping quietly and breathing regularly, he seated himself again by the paraschites and his son, and the soldier began: "It all happened long ago. King Seti still lived, but Rameses already reigned in his stead, when I came home from the north.
His son, Seti I., then his grandson, Rameses II., came hither to rest beside him. The Ramesside Pharaohs followed one after the other. Herhor may perhaps have been the last of the series. These crowded catacombs caused the place to be called "The Valley of the Tombs of the Kings," a name which it retains to this day. These tombs are not complete.
Triumph and deathless peace, the bugle-call and silence these are the notes of Karnak. Upon the wall of the great court of Amenhotep III. in the temple of Luxor there is a delicious dancing procession in honor of Rameses II. It is very funny and very happy; full of the joy of life a sort of radiant cake-walk of old Egyptian days. How supple are these dancers! They seem to have no bones.
Records of Rameses III tell how a great host of federated peoples appeared on the Asian frontier of Egypt very early in the twelfth century. Among them marched men of the "Kheta" or Hatti, but not as leaders.
