The divine Prince
of Kesh who was to have been my husband--did you understand, Asti, that
they really meant to make that black barbarian my husband?--I say that
the divine Prince, who now sups with Osiris, drank so much that I could
not touch a drop, and I am tired and thirsty, and have still some things
to do to-night."
Asti went to a table where stood a flagon of wine wreathed in vine
leaves, and by it cups of glass, and filling one of them brought it to
Tua.
"Here's to the memory of the divine prince, and may he have left the
table of Osiris before I come there. And here's to the hand that sent
him thither," said Tua recklessly. Then she drained the wine, every drop
of it, and threw the cup to the marble floor where it shattered into
bits.
"What god has entered into your Majesty to-night?" asked Asti quietly.
"One that knows his own mind, I think," replied Tua. "There, I feel
strong again, I go to visit Pharaoh. Come with me, Asti."
When Tua arrived at the bedside of Pharaoh she found that the worst of
the danger was over.
