About 'hermes clothes'|... to attest to this than a French tailor, a master in the selection of fine clothes. Georges de Paris compares the younger Bush to Ronald Reagan...








               Lord               Evandale,               an               English               nobleman,               and               Dr.

Rumphius,               a               German               Egyptologist,               approached               the               great               necropolis               in               the               valley               of               Biban               el               Moluk               near               the               Egyptian               city               of               Thebes.

Lord               Evandale               was               handsome               and               irreproachably               dressed.

Dr.

Rumphius               looked               like               a               bird-headed               god,               and               his               garb               showed               that               science               concerned               him               more               than               personal               appearances.
               They               had               come               to               do               some               excavating,               and               they               were               discussing               the               probability               of               finding               a               tomb               that               had               not               yet               been               plundered.
               Suddenly               a               man               of               Greek               extraction               appeared               before               them.

His               name               was               Argyropoulos.

He               had               been               stalking               them               for               a               considerable               length               of               time               in               the               hope               of               exploiting               their               curiosity               and               enriching               himself               at               their               expense.

He               approached               them               with               a               servile               smile.
               Argyropoulos               liked               to               gain               money               by               directing               the               excavations               of               foreigners               for               a               fee.

He               usually               deceived               them,               directing               them               to               dig               in               places               where               nothing               was               located.

However,               he               correctly               surmised               that               Lord               Evandale               was               very               rich,               so               he               thought               that               he               would               get               more               money               from               him               if               he               told               him               the               truth.
               Two               years               before,               his               sharp               eyes               had               noticed               a               spot               where               he               believed               an               undiscovered               tomb               might               be               located.

He               decided               to               direct               Lord               Evandale               to               that               spot.

He               hoped               thereby               to               obtain               enough               money               to               give               a               good               dowry               to               his               daughter.
               Argyropoulos               offered               to               help               the               two               men               with               their               excavations.

He               told               them               that               he               had               a               host               of               fellahs               at               his               disposal               who               could               dig               to               the               center               of               the               earth               with               their               fingernails               and               could               easily               uncover               a               sphinx               or               a               shrine               or               open               up               a               hypogeum.
               When               his               extravagant               words               were               greeted               with               skepticism,               he               became               more               serious.

In               exchange               for               a               thousand               guineas,               he               offered               to               show               Lord               Evandale               a               tomb               that               had               never               been               opened.

Lord               Evandale               agreed,               provided               that               not               even               a               single               stone               had               been               removed.

He               also               insisted               the               he               be               allowed               to               remove               everything               from               the               tomb.

(Since               this               story               is               set               in               the               nineteenth               century,               this               was               legally               possible.)
               The               Greek               led               the               two               men               up               a               steep               slope               to               a               sort               of               cornice               projecting               over               a               vertical               cliff,               on               which               some               large               rocks               had               apparently               been               placed               in               an               orderly               fashion.

It               was               a               difficult               place               to               dig,               but               the               fellahs               managed               to               remove               three               large               boulders               and               uncover               the               entrance               to               a               tomb.
               Inside               the               entrance,               they               found               funeral               statuettes               in               the               sand.

They               had               been               deposited               as               offerings               by               family               and               friends.
               A               stone               slab               covered               a               passage               that               led               to               the               hypogeum.

It               was               sealed               with               a               clay               seal.

After               the               workman               had               removed               the               stone               slab,               a               few               fellahs               preceded               Lord               Evandale               and               Dr.

Rumphius               down               the               passageway.

Torches               dispelled               the               darkness.
               As               they               descended,               the               heat               became               increasingly               intense.

Since               Lord               Evandale               and               Dr.

Rumphius               had               trouble               breathing,               one               of               the               fellahs               returned               to               the               entrance               to               fetch               moistened               sponges.

The               Greek               instructed               Lord               Evandale               and               Dr.

Rumphius               to               put               sponges               in               front               of               their               mouths               so               that               they               could               breathe               fresher               air               through               the               humid               pores.
               They               encountered               another               sealed               door               which               covered               a               descending               staircase.

When               they               reached               the               bottom               of               the               staircase               and               saw               that               they               had               to               descend               even               farther,               Dr.

Rumphius               remarked               that               they               must               be               traveling               to               the               center               of               the               earth.

Because               of               the               intense               heat,               he               thought               that               they               must               be               near               the               dwelling               of               the               damned.
               After               another               steep               descent,               they               arrived               at               what               seemed               to               be               a               dead               end.

There               was               a               well.

The               Greek               descended               into               the               well               with               a               knotted               rope.

He               tapped               at               various               places,               hoping               to               hear               a               hollow               sound               that               revealed               a               hidden               chamber               or               at               least               another               passage.

He               found               nothing.
               In               the               entrance               and               along               the               passageways,               they               had               encountered               numerous               examples               of               Egyptian               art:               hieroglyphics,               pictures               of               the               gods,               allegorical               pictures,               etc.

In               the               upper               chamber               of               the               well,               another               adornment               greeted               them.

Osiris,               the               judge,               was               seated               on               a               throne               with               a               crook               in               his               hand,               while               the               goddesses               Justice               and               Truth               were               leading               the               spirit               of               the               dead               to               the               tribunal               of               Amenti.
               Because               of               his               previous               experience               with               Egyptian               tombs,               this               drawing               gave               the               Greek               hope.

Eager               to               earn               his               1,000               guineas,               he               took               a               pickaxe               and               began               to               strike               the               wall               vigorously               here               and               there               until               he               encountered               a               hollow               sound.
               The               fellahs               excavated               an               opening               large               enough               for               a               man               to               crawl               through.

They               found               themselves               in               a               square               hall               with               a               blue               vault               that               rested               on               four               massive               pillars.

The               vault               displayed               typical               ancient               Egyptian               decorations.
               This               hall               led               to               another               hall,               the               vault               of               which               was               higher               and               supported               by               only               two               pillars.

On               the               vault,               various               scenes               were               depicted,               such               as,               the               bull               Apis               bearing               the               mummy               toward               the               regions               of               the               west               and               the               weighing               of               the               deeds               of               the               dead               in               a               scale.
               This               second               hall               was               apparently               the               end               of               the               road.

Because               of               the               heat               and               the               smoke,               they               had               to               retreat               to               the               outer               hall.
               Before               giving               up,               they               made               one               last               attempt.

The               fellahs               started               tapping               the               ground               and               encountered               a               hollow               sound               not               far               from               on               of               the               four               pillars               in               the               outer               hall.

After               the               dust               was               cleared               away,               they               found               an               oblong               slab.
               After               removing               the               slab,               they               had               to               descend               a               staircase               and               entered               the               vestibule               of               the               hall               that               contained               the               sarcophagus.

Rich               ornamentation               adorned               the               vestibule,               and               two               small               crypts               contained               funerary               statuettes.
               As               they               entered               the               hall               and               approached               the               sarcophagus,               Lord               Evandale               had               qualms               about               disturbing               the               dead.

In               contrast,               Dr.

Rumphius               was               filled               with               enthusiasm,               while               Argyropoulos               wished               that               he               had               asked               for               more               money.

Needless               to               say,               the               artwork               was               magnificent.
               When               the               cover               was               pried               off               the               sarcophagus,               Dr.

Rumphius               was               shocked               at               what               he               saw,               and               even               Argyropoulos               was               surprised.

The               mummy               was               a               woman.

Dr.

Rumphius               thought               that               the               valley               of               Biban               el               Moluk               contained               kings               only.

The               queens               were               buried               elsewhere.
               Lord               Evandale               wanted               to               donate               the               sarcophagus               and               its               contents               to               the               British               Museum,               so               it               was               carried               to               his               ship.

Argyropoulos               received               his               pay               and               took               his               leave.
               The               mummy               was               covered               not               only               by               the               sarcophagus,               but               also               three               cases,               one               within               the               other.

As               Dr.

Rumphius               began               to               open               the               cases,               Lord               Evandale               pitied               the               mummy.

He               wished               that               he               could               close               the               sarcophagus               and               allow               her               to               rest               in               peace.
               When               Dr.

Rumphius               opened               the               cases               and               took               off               the               wrappings,               the               mummy               proved               to               be               a               beautiful               young               woman,               perfectly               preserved.

She               was               more               comely               than               any               Greek               or               Roman               statue.

Lord               Evandale               and               Dr.

Rumphius               were               filled               with               admiration.
               Normally,               mummies               were               caked               with               bitumen               to               preserve               them               better.

This               detracted               from               their               beauty.

However,               in               this               case,               a               more               careful               embalming               process               had               preserved               the               elasticity               of               the               flesh               and               the               grain               of               the               skin.

Its               color               was               almost               natural.

She               seemed               to               be               asleep               rather               than               dead.
               Her               jet               black               hair               was               plaited               into               a               multitude               of               fine               tresses,               adorned               and               fastened               by               twenty               golden               pins.

She               wore               two               large               earrings,               a               magnificent               necklace,               and               a               double               bracelet               of               gold.

On               the               index               finger               of               her               left               hand               was               a               signet               ring               in               the               form               of               a               scarabaeus.
               Lord               Evandale               ordered               that               none               of               her               adornments               be               disturbed.

He               gently               touched               her               little               hand               and               carefully               fingered               her               hair.

He               felt               that               he               would               have               loved               her               if               he               had               lived               at               the               same               time               as               she.
               As               Dr.

Rumphius               was               taking               inventory               of               the               gems               that               he               could               not               remove,               he               caught               sight               of               a               papyrus               roll               concealed               between               the               side               and               the               arm               of               the               mummy.

He               thought               that               it               was               a               copy               of               the               funeral               ritual;               but               when               he               opened               it,               he               received               a               surprise.

It               was               a               noteworthy               document.

Its               contents               differ               significantly               from               the               hieratic               formulae               of               other               Egyptian               papyri.
               After               three               years               of               diligent               work,               Dr.

Rumphius               succeeded               in               deciphering               the               papyrus               roll.

It               contained               the               following               story,               which               is               aptly               entitled               "The               Romance               of               a               Mummy."
               A               beautiful               young               lady               named               Tahoser               lived               in               the               city               of               Oph,               better               known               as               Thebes.
               She               was               listening               to               a               plaintive               song               sung               by               Satou,               who               accompanied               herself               on               a               harp,               while               two               other               ladies               offered               further               accompaniment               on               a               guitar               and               a               sort               of               tympanum.
               Tahoser               abruptly               interrupted               the               song.

The               music               accorded               with               her               melancholy               mood,               and               she               asked               Satou               how               she               had               come               to               know               her               feelings.

Satou               tried               to               cheer               up               her               mistress               by               a               song               praising               the               charms               of               wine,               the               intoxication               of               perfume,               and               the               delights               of               the               dance,               but               Tahoser               become               more               melancholy.
               Nofre,               the               favorite               maid               of               Tahoser,               realized               that               her               mistress               wanted               to               converse               with               her,               so               she               made               a               sign               indicating               that               the               musicians               should               leave.
               Tahoser               apparently               had               very               little               reason               to               be               unhappy.

Her               father,               the               high               priest               Petamounoph,               had               died,               but               otherwise               her               life               was               enviable.

She               was               beautiful               and               rich.

She               lived               in               a               splendid               home               and               had               a               lovely               garden.

She               had               a               rich               array               of               jewelry               and               a               host               of               servants               at               her               beck               and               call.
               Tahoser               told               Nofre               that               an               unfulfilled               desire               brought               sadness               to               her               heart.

Nofre               tried               to               guess               what               it               was.

Eventually               she               remembered               that               the               Pharaoh               had               left               on               a               military               expedition               to               Upper               Ethiopia               and               had               taken               a               handsome               general               named               Ahmosis               with               him.

Ahmosis               loved               Tahoser,               and               Nofre               thought               that               his               absence               was               making               her               sad.
               Tahoser               admitted               that               Ahmosis               loved               her,               but               she               insisted               that               she               did               not               love               him.

Nofre               remained               unconvinced.

She               thought               that               maidenly               shyness               prompted               her               to               deny               what               her               heart               actually               felt.

Nofre               herself               loved               Ahmosis,               and               she               could               not               believe               that               her               mistress               was               unmoved               by               his               charms.
               Tahoser               found               it               impossible               to               reveal               the               real               source               of               her               sadness.

Because               of               Tahoser's               reticence,               Nofre               was               confirmed               in               her               belief               that               the               absence               of               Ahmosis               made               her               mistress               sad.
               The               king               was               returning               that               very               day,               and               Tahoser               decided               to               view               the               procession.

Her               residence               was               situated               near               the               east               bank               of               the               Nile.

She               and               Nofre               took               a               boat               across               the               Nile               to               the               west               bank.

They               then               rode               in               a               chariot               drawn               by               oxen.

As               they               passed               a               house               partly               hidden               by               luxuriant               vegetation,               Tahoser               seemed               to               be               looking               for               something.

She               spotted               a               handsome               young               man               who               was               leaning               against               a               pillar               and               watching               the               crowd.

He               paid               no               attention               as               the               chariot               of               Tahoser               passed               his               house.

Nofre               did               not               notice               the               perturbation               that               her               mistress               felt.
               Tahoser               and               Nofre               reached               the               place               where               the               parade               was               about               to               take               place.

It               was               a               vast               enclosure               designed               for               military               displays.

There               was               an               opening               in               the               wall               of               the               enclosure               at               its               southern               end               and               a               similar               opening               at               the               northern               end.

The               road               from               Upper               Egypt               led               up               to               the               southern               opening.

Here               the               procession               would               enter               the               enclosed               parade               ground.

Then               it               would               leave               the               ground               through               the               northern               aperture               and               continue               northward               on               the               road               that               led               to               the               palace               of               Rameses               Maiamoun.
               Musicians               led               the               procession,               followed               by               barbarians               whom               the               king               had               captured               during               his               campaign.

Then               came               the               standard               bearers,               accompanied               by               a               herald,               who               proclaimed               the               Pharaoh's               mighty               deeds               with               a               sonorous               voice.

Soon               thereafter,               the               Pharaoh               appeared.

He               sat               on               a               throne               that               rested               on               a               sort               of               dais               supported               by               twelve               military               chiefs.

The               litter               of               the               Pharaoh               was               followed               by               war               chariots               bearing               princes               of               the               royal               family
               Then               the               entire               Egyptian               army               marched               through               the               parade               grounds.

The               war               chariots               of               the               Egyptian               cavalry               came               first.

There               were               twenty               thousand               chariots               in               all,               each               containing               three               men               and               drawn               by               two               horses.

Next               came               the               large               Egyptian               infantry,               followed               by               the               troops               of               allied               nations.
               The               parade               also               featured               slaves               carrying               the               booty               that               the               Pharaoh               had               won               during               the               expedition.

Observers               also               had               the               opportunity               to               see               such               exotic               animals               as               panthers,               ostriches,               and               giraffes.
               The               Pharaoh               had               noticed               Tahoser               as               he               was               passing               her.

Though               his               facial               expression               remained               unchanged,               he               was               filled               with               desire.

He               made               a               barely               perceptible               gesture               with               his               hand.

A               servant               named               Timopht               noticed               it               and               immediately               looked               at               Tahoser.
               The               servant               followed               Tahoser               as               she               returned               to               her               residence.

After               learning               her               identity               he               went               to               the               palace               of               the               Pharaoh,               where               musicians,               dancers,               and               other               entertainers               were               unsuccessfully               trying               to               divert               their               master.

The               servant               announced               to               the               sovereign               that               the               girl               he               had               noticed               was               Tahoser,               the               daughter               of               the               priest               Petamounoph.
               The               women               of               the               harem,               suspecting               that               someone               else               had               stolen               their               master's               heart,               expressed               their               anguish               with               extravagant               signs               of               mourning.
               While               the               Pharaoh               longed               for               Tahoser,               Tahoser               longed               for               Poeri,               the               young               man               who               had               moved               her               heart               as               she               passed               his               residence               on               the               left               bank               of               the               Nile.

Though               he               was               well-to-do               and               lived               in               a               attractive               villa,               he               was               not               a               native               Egyptian,               but               a               Hebrew.
               Tahoser               had               often               made               herself               as               beautiful               as               possible,               crossed               the               Nile,               and               rode               past               Poeri's               residence,               hoping               to               attract               his               attention.

She               never               had               any               success.

So               now               she               put               on               common               garments               and               left               the               house               while               Nofre               was               still               sleeping.

She               crossed               the               Nile               and               approached               the               villa               of               Poeri.
               The               sun               had               risen,               and               the               gates               of               the               villa               were               opening.

She               kneeled               on               the               threshold               and               placed               her               hands               above               her               head               in               a               gesture               of               supplication.

Poeri               saw               her               and               pitied               her.

He               assured               her               that               his               house               was               hospitable               and               invited               her               to               enter.
               Tahoser               was               encouraged               by               his               kind               words,               but               she               was               ashamed               of               the               base               action               which               love               had               driven               her               to               do               and               hesitated               to               enter.

Poeri               considered               her               a               timid,               unfortunate               woman               and               encouraged               her               with               kind               words.
               As               Poeri               was               sitting               down               on               a               sofa               and               Tahoser               was               kneeling               before               him               in               her               loveliest               pose,               Poeri               introduced               himself.

He               told               Tahoser               that               he               was               the               steward               of               the               royal               estates.
               Tahoser               said               that               her               name               was               Hora.

She               said               that               her               parents               had               died               and               their               creditors               took               nearly               all               their               goods.

She               barely               had               enough               to               pay               their               funeral               expenses.

She               offered               to               repay               him               for               his               hospitality.

She               had               learned               the               work               of               women,               even               though               she               had               not               been               required               to               do               so               because               of               the               social               status               of               her               family.

She               could               weave,               spin               linen,               and               entertain               him               with               song,               harp,               or               lute.
               Poeri               observed               that               Hora               was               a               delicate               girl.

He               told               her               that               she               would               find               in               his               home               occupation               suitable               for               a               maiden               who               has               known               better               days.

His               maids               were               good               girls               and               pleasant               companions.

Poeri               expressed               the               hope               that               better               days               would               eventually               dawn               for               Hora.

If               not,               she               could               grow               old               in               his               home               in               the               midst               of               abundance               and               peace.
               The               supposed               Hora               kissed               his               feet               as               a               suppliant               would               when               granted               a               favor.

However,               to               Hora,               her               kisses               were               kisses               of               passionate               love.
               After               Poeri               left,               he               sent               Tahoser               a               goose               leg,               onions,               wheat               bread,               and               figs.

Tahoser               was               not               hungry,               but               she               ate               heartily               because               a               true               suppliant               would               necessarily               have               a               hearty               appetite.
               When               Poeri               returned,               he               asked               Tahoser               to               take               the               lute               and               sing               him               a               sweet               melody.

He               believed               that               if               he               fell               asleep               to               the               sound               of               gentle               music,               he               would               have               pleasant               dreams.
               Poeri               admired               her               singing.

He               said               that               she               imparted               to               it               a               magical               charm.

He               asked               her               to               repeat               the               song               till               he               fell               asleep.
               When               he               fell               asleep,               she               fanned               him               with               a               palm               leaf               for               a               while.

Then               she               placed               a               furtive               kiss               on               his               brow.
               At               that               point,               the               sleeping               man               uttered               the               following               words               in               a               language               that               Tahoser               could               not               understand:               "Oh,               Rachel,               beloved               Rachel!"
               When               Nofre               awoke,               she               was               alarmed               at               the               absence               of               her               mistress.

She               looked               in               the               garden               and               everywhere               else,               but               Tahoser               was               not               at               home.
               A               wise               servant               named               Souhem               looked               for               Tahoser's               footprints               in               the               sand.

He               noted               that               she               had               gone               in               the               direction               of               the               boats.

However,               no               one               had               seen               her               cross               the               Nile.

Someone               had               seen               a               woman               of               the               lowest               rank               cross               early               in               the               morning,               but               Souhem               and               Nofre               did               not               suspect               that               this               woman               might               be               Tahoser.
               Anguished               lamentation               filled               the               household.

Even               the               slaves               grieved               over               the               loss               of               their               gentle               mistress.

Only               Souhem               expressed               hope.

After               giving               the               matter               some               thought,               he               concluded               that               Tahoser               must               be               in               love.
               Since               Nofre               loved               Ahmosis,               she               thought               that               her               mistress               undoubtedly               shared               her               feelings.

So               she               went               to               the               house               of               Ahmosis               to               look               for               Tahoser.
               When               Ahmosis               saw               Nofre,               he               felt               a               thrill               pass               through               his               body.

He               thought               she               might               be               bearing               a               message               from               Tahoser.
               In               the               ensuing               discussion,               both               were               disappointed.

Ahmosis               learned               that               Nofre               had               come               searching               for               Tahoser,               and               Nofre               learned               that               Tahoser               was               not               there.
               Later               the               Pharaoh               sent               Timopht               to               the               residence               of               Tahoser               with               gifts.

By               this               time,               Nofre               had               come               back               home.

She               told               Timopht               that               Tahoser               had               disappeared.

Timopht               told               her               to               take               the               gifts               and               have               them               guarded               until               Tahoser               returned.
               When               Timopht               told               the               Pharaoh               that               Tahoser               had               disappeared,               the               monarch               was               very               angry.

He               hit               the               floor               so               vigorously               with               his               scepter               that               a               slab               was               split.
               The               so-called               Hora               was               spinning               thread               and               admiring               Poeri,               who               was               sitting               at               a               table               and               working.

When               he               left               the               house,               she               timidly               followed               him.

He               invited               her               to               sit               in               the               shade               and               watch               the               agricultural               activities               that               the               men               were               performing.

He               could               tell               that               she               had               lived               in               the               city,               and               he               thought               that               the               novelty               would               cheer               her               up.
               Poeri               was               accustomed               to               leave               the               house               in               the               evening,               and               one               of               the               maids               wondered               where               he               always               went.

A               tall               slave               named               Harphre               observed               that               Poeri               was               a               barbarous               Hebrew.

She               thought               that               he               went               out               at               night               to               join               other               Israelites               as               they               killed               some               children               as               a               bloody               sacrifice               in               some               desert               place.
               Tahoser               decided               to               follow               Poeri               when               he               went               out               that               evening.

She               was               driven               by               jealousy.

She               did               not               believe               that               Poeri               was               participating               in               nocturnal               rites.

She               thought               he               was               seeing               some               woman,               and               she               wanted               to               know               who               her               rival               was.
               There               was               no               moon,               so               she               easily               escaped               the               notice               of               Poeri.

She               followed               him               to               the               bank               of               the               river.

To               her               dismay,               he               got               into               a               small               boat               and               started               to               cross               the               river.
               Tahoser               took               off               her               dress               and               tied               it               on               top               of               her               head.

Then               she               slid               down               the               bank               and               started               to               follow               Poeri               across               the               river.

As               she               was               swimming               across,               she               was               frightened               by               a               bundle               of               reeds,               which               she               mistook               for               a               crocodile.
               At               one               point,               Poeri               stopped               and               looked               around               uneasily.

He               thought               that               he               had               heard               someone               swimming               behind               him.

Tahoser               ducked               beneath               the               water.

Not               seeing               anything,               Poeri               continued               to               cross               to               the               other               side.
               Tahoser               was               tired               and               wet               when               she               reached               the               other               side               of               the               river,               but               she               continued               to               follow               Poeri.

He               walked               to               a               sinister-looking               place               that               made               Tahoser               wonder               whether               Harphre               had               been               telling               the               truth               when               she               spoke               about               cruel               rites               performed               in               a               desolate               place.

He               finally               entered               a               hut               built               of               clay.
               Through               a               crack               in               the               wall               of               the               hut,               Tahoser               beheld               a               maiden               who               was               more               beautiful               than               any               Egyptian               girl.

Poeri               sat               down               beside               her,               and               they               conversed               in               a               language               that               Tahoser               did               not               understand.
               Tahoser               hoped               that               the               girl               might               be               his               sister.

However,               when               he               called               her               his               beloved               Rachel,               she               remembered               what               he               had               said               in               his               sleep.

She               was               forced               to               conclude               that               Rachel               was               her               name               and               that               Poeri               loved               her.
               When               Poeri               began               to               caress               her               in               a               timid               fashion,               Tahoser               wished               that               she               had               witnessed               a               gruesome               rite               instead.

She               tried               to               rise               twice.

Then               she               swooned.
               Meanwhile,               the               Pharaoh               continued               to               be               troubled               by               the               disappearance               of               Tahoser.

Amense,               Mont-Reche,               and               Twea               had               been               his               favorites,               but               now               their               beauty               did               not               satisfy               him.

He               wanted               to               be               alone,               so               he               left               his               southern               palace               and               crossed               the               Nile               to               his               northern               palace.

There               he               paced               the               halls               in               ill               humor.

He               was               regarded               as               a               god,               but               now               he               felt               like               a               man.
               After               a               while,               the               Pharaoh               sent               for               Timopht               and               asked               him               if               he               had               asked               the               servants               of               Tahoser               whether               they               knew               where               there               mistress               had               gone.

Timopht               replied               that               two               of               her               trusted               servants               had               found               evidence               that               she               had               gone               to               the               river.

However,               from               the               boatmen,               the               two               servants               had               learned               that               the               only               person               who               crossed               the               river               early               in               the               morning               was               a               poorly               dressed               woman.
               In               contrast               to               Notre,               Souhem,               and               Timopht,               the               wise               Pharaoh               immediately               suspected               that               Tahoser               had               disguised               herself.

He               also               figured               that               a               love               affair               was               at               the               bottom               of               the               mystery.
               At               the               command               of               Pharaoh,               Timopht               and               others               scoured               the               land               of               Egypt               in               an               effort               to               find               Tahoser.

They               searched               every               palace,               temple,               house,               villa,               and               garden.

Boats               traversed               the               Nile,               and               chariots               investigated               the               roads.

Even               the               tombs               were               searched.
               The               Pharaoh               sat               motionless,               like               a               god,               waiting               for               the               messengers               to               return.

Late               at               night,               a               messenger               reported               that               Tahoser               could               not               be               found.

The               Pharaoh               killed               him               with               his               scepter.

The               next               two               messengers               shared               his               fate.
               Timopht               happened               to               come               to               the               house               of               Poeri.

Poeri               told               him               that               a               suppliant               woman               named               Hora               had               come               to               his               house.

He               had               given               her               hospitality,               but               she               had               left               mysteriously               during               the               night.

Poeri               described               her               as               beautiful,               sad,               and               dressed               in               common               clothing.
               Timopht               reported               the               words               of               Poeri               to               the               Pharaoh.

The               Pharaoh               did               not               think               that               Hora               was               Tahoser.

If               she               came               to               Poeri               in               disguise               because               she               loved               him,               he               figured               that               she               would               not               have               fled               in               the               night.
               In               the               meantime,               Tahoser               was               lying               in               Rachel's               hut.

Soon               after               Poeri               had               left,               Rachel               heard               a               groan,               found               the               sick               young               lady,               and               took               her               into               her               hut.

Rachel               treated               her               with               compassion               and               cared               for               her,               with               the               help               of               an               old               lady               named               Thamar.
               Thamar               was               suspicious.

They               were               Israelites,               and               their               race               had               been               enslaved               by               the               Egyptians.

The               Israelites               believed               that               they               would               be               delivered               from               bondage               in               the               not               too               distant               future.

Thamar               figured               that               the               Egyptians               may               have               heard               something               about               it               and               sent               the               young               woman               as               a               spy.

Rachel               did               not               share               her               suspicions.
               To               prove               her               point,               Thamar               pointed               out               that               her               poor               clothing               was               a               disguise.

Her               delicate               hands               betrayed               the               fact               that               she               was               a               well-to-do               lady               who               did               not               have               to               work.
               When               Poeri               came               in               the               evening,               he               immediately               recognized               the               sick               lady.

He               informed               Rachel               that               she               had               come               to               his               house               as               a               suppliant               and               received               due               hospitality.

She               said               that               her               name               was               Hora.

She               disappeared               during               the               night.
               Poeri               also               told               Rachel               that               emissaries               of               the               Pharaoh               had               come               to               his               house               looking               for               a               lady               named               Tahoser,               the               daughter               of               a               priest.
               The               suspicious               Thamar               triumphantly               declared               that               Hora               was               Tahoser.
               Poeri               pointed               out               that               there               were               several               problems               with               Thamar's               theory.

Why               would               she               disguise               herself               as               a               poor               woman?

Moreover,               how               did               she               happen               to               come               to               Rachel's               hut?

When               he               left,               she               was               on               the               other               bank               of               the               Nile,               and               she               had               no               way               of               knowing               where               he               was               going.
               Thamar               replied               that               she               must               have               followed               Poeri.

Her               wet               clothes               showed               that               she               must               have               swum               across               the               Nile.

Poeri               admitted               that               he               thought               that               he               had               seen               a               head               in               the               water               once               while               he               was               rowing               across.

Rachel               added               that               her               weak               and               feverish               condition               proved               that               she               must               have               made               the               nocturnal               swim.
               Poeri               was               convinced,               but               he               was               still               puzzled.

What               motive               could               she               have               had               for               doing               all               these               things?
               Rachel               knew               the               answer.

The               nocturnal               swimmer               loved               Poeri,               so               she               disguised               herself               so               that               she               could               be               with               him.

When               Poeri               left               at               night,               she               suspected               that               she               had               a               rival               and               jealously               followed               to               see               who               it               was.

When               she               saw               their               happiness               through               a               crack               in               the               wall,               she               swooned.

After               this               explanation,               she               concluded               with               the               words:               "But               I               don't               care,               since               you               do               not               love               her."
               Since               the               girls               fever               seemed               to               be               serious,               they               decided               to               see               whether               Moses               could               help               her.

An               elderly               gentleman               with               a               long               beard               came,               stretched               out               his               hands               over               her,               and               cured               her               in               the               name               of               the               Mighty               One.

Then               he               withdrew,               leaving               a               trail               of               light               behind               him.
               Tahoser               was               as               good               as               new.

Surveying               the               situation,               she               knew               that               she               was               beaten.

She               put               her               arms               around               Rachel               and               cried.
               Rachel               told               Tahoser               to               keep               on               loving               him.

He               compared               their               situation               to               their               forefather               Jacob,               who               had               two               wives               called               Rachel               and               Leah.

Jacob               loved               Rachel               better,               but               Leah               lived               happily               with               him.

She               was               willing               to               let               Tahoser               be               Poeri's               Leah.
               Tahoser               was               willing               to               play               that               role.

When               Poeri               pointed               out               that               she               would               have               to               give               up               her               caste,               she               told               him               that               she               had               already               become               his               servant.

When               Poeri               said               that               she               would               have               to               leave               Egypt               and               follow               him               into               the               desert,               she               was               willing               to               go.
               Poeri               then               told               her               that               she               would               also               have               to               give               up               her               idols               and               worship               Jehovah               alone.

This               made               her               shudder               a               little.

However,               she               finally               said:               "You               will               tell               me               of               your               God;               I               shall               try               to               understand               Him."
               Poeri               agreed               to               marry               her.

However,               he               warned               her               that               she               would               have               to               stay               hidden               in               the               hut,               since               Pharaoh,               who               was               in               love               with               her,               was               searching               for               her.

Then,               since               the               day               was               about               to               dawn,               Poeri               hurried               home.
               While               sleeping,               Tahoser               dreamed               that               she               saw               an               assembly               of               all               the               Egyptian               gods.

Her               deceased               father               told               her               to               ask               them               whether               they               really               were               gods.

They               all               replied               that               they               were               only               numbers,               laws,               forces,               attributes,               effluvia,               and               thoughts               of               God,               but               none               of               them               was               the               true               God.

Then               Poeri               came               and               led               her               to               a               brilliant               light.

In               the               center               of               the               light               were               words               inscribed               in               a               triangle.

She               did               not               know               what               the               words               meant.
               Thamar               disliked               the               proposed               union.

She               went               to               the               palace               of               the               Pharaoh               and               told               him               that               she               knew               where               Tahoser               was.

The               Pharaoh               took               her               in               his               chariot               and               she               guided               him               to               the               hut.

The               Pharaoh               took               the               sleeping               Tahoser               in               his               arms               and               rode               away               with               her.

Tahoser               wanted               to               scream,               but               she               knew               it               was               hopeless.
               As               they               approached               the               palace,               Tahoser               made               a               desperate               effort               to               escape,               but               she               struggled               in               vain.

She               tried               to               scream,               but               the               Pharaoh               sealed               her               mouth               with               a               kiss.

They               entered               the               palace,               and               there               was               no               hope               of               escape.
               The               Pharaoh               was               a               handsome               man,               and               he               spoke               flattering               words               to               Tahoser.

Though               Tahoser               felt               a               little               proud               that               her               beauty               had               exercised               such               a               profound               effect               on               this               mighty               man,               the               thought               of               belonging               to               him               filled               her               with               horror               and               repulsion.

She               loved               Poeri               and               wanted               to               go               with               him               into               the               desert.
               Tahoser               tried               to               reason               with               the               Pharaoh.

She               asked:               "What               if               I               do               not               love               you?"               The               Pharaoh               told               her               that               it               only               made               her               more               attractive               to               him.

He               would               enjoy               overcoming               any               obstacle               that               hindered               him               from               fulfilling               his               desires.
               Tahoser               then               asked:               "But               suppose               I               love               another?"               Rage               filled               the               heart               of               the               Pharaoh,               but               he               managed               to               master               it.

He               told               her               that               the               glories               of               the               palace               would               soon               make               her               forget               her               past               life.
               In               the               meantime,               Rachel               was               puzzled               by               the               disappearance               of               Tahoser               and               asked               Thamar               if               she               knew               what               had               happened               to               her.

Thamar               feigned               ignorance.

She               tried               to               convince               Rachel               that               the               young               woman               was               not               really               Tahoser,               but               a               fiend               from               hell               that               had               come               to               tempt               a               child               of               Israel.
               The               Pharaoh               had               promised               Thamar               that               she               could               have               as               much               gold               and               precious               stones               as               she               could               lift.

Thamar               went               to               the               palace               with               a               coarse               bag,               and               the               Pharaoh               kept               his               promise.
               As               Timopht               watched,               Thamar               greedily               put               a               huge               amount               of               treasure               into               her               bag.

Timopht               was               amused.

He               thought               that               the               skinny               specter               would               never               be               able               to               lift               such               a               great               weight.

However,               Thamar               surprised               him.

She               staggered               out               of               the               palace,               almost               walking               on               all               fours.
               After               leaving               the               palace,               she               saw               two               Israelites               passing               by.

He               offered               to               give               them               a               handsome               reward               if               they               would               carry               the               sack               to               her               house.

They               did               so,               and               Thamar               grudgingly               gave               them               the               promised               reward.
               At               the               palace,               Tahoser               was               installed               in               a               magnificent               apartment.

When               the               Pharaoh               came,               she               rose               from               her               seat               to               prostrate               herself.

However,               the               Pharaoh               raised               her               up.

He               told               her               that               she               would               be               his               equal.

He               was               tired               of               being               alone               in               the               universe.

He               promised               not               to               possess               her               until               she               loved               him.

If               ever               he               found               favor               in               her               eyes,               he               asked               her               to               hold               out               to               him               the               lotus               flower               in               her               hair               as               he               entered               the               room.
               As               they               were               conversing,               Timopht               informed               the               Pharaoh               that               a               mysterious               personage               named               Moses               wished               to               speak               with               him.
               As               the               Pharaoh               sat               on               his               throne,               Moses               and               Aaron               appeared               before               him.

Moses               did               not               prostrate               himself.

He               told               Pharaoh               that               the               Lord               commanded               him               to               let               His               people               go,               that               they               might               hold               a               feast               to               Him               in               the               wilderness.
               Pharaoh               told               them               that               they               were               lucky               that               he               was               in               a               good               mood.

Otherwise               he               would               have               them               beaten               or               thrown               to               the               crocodiles.
               The               Pharaoh               had               no               respect               for               the               Israelite               God.

He               extolled               the               Egyptian               god               Ammon               Ra               and               commanded               Moses               and               Aaron               to               leave.

He               also               decided               to               increase               the               work               load               of               the               Israelites.
               When               Moses               and               Aaron               came               to               the               palace               a               second               time,               Pharaoh               demanded               proof               that               the               Lord               had               really               sent               them.

Aaron               threw               down               his               rod,               and               it               became               a               serpent.
               The               Pharaoh               called               it               a               cheap               trick.

He               called               his               wise               men               and               asked               them               if               they               could               change               their               rods               into               serpents.

They               were               reluctant               to               do               so               because               they               considered               it               a               waste               of               time.

They               preferred               to               continue               their               profound               meditations.
               However,               when               the               Pharaoh               commanded               them               to               perform               the               miracle,               Ennana,               their               leader,               commanded               all               his               wise               men               to               whisper               the               magic               words               and               throw               down               their               rods.

As               a               result,               an               interesting               variety               of               snakes               crawled               across               the               floor.

Tahoser               was               sitting               next               to               the               Pharaoh.

She               was               frightened               and               pulled               her               feet               back               with               terror.
               The               Pharaoh               bragged               about               the               superior               skill               of               his               sages.

Then               Moses               stretched               forth               his               hand,               and               the               serpent               of               Aaron               approached               the               twenty-four               serpents               of               the               Egyptian               wise               men.

After               a               brief               struggle,               it               ate               all               the               Egyptian               serpents.
               Old               Ennana               was               amazed.

He               said               that               he               would               have               to               reexamine               the               hieroglyphics               to               see               why               the               spell               went               wrong.

He               then               asked               the               Pharaoh               whether               they               could               withdraw.

He               thought               that               reading               Hermes               Trismegistus               was               more               profitable               than               performing               slight               of               hand               tricks.
               The               Pharaoh               led               the               trembling               Tahoser               back               to               the               Harem.

Tahoser               remembered               the               power               of               Poeri's               god.

She               urged               the               Pharaoh               not               to               defy               His               commands,               but               the               Pharaoh               considered               himself               more               powerful               than               the               God               of               the               Israelites.
               The               Pharaoh               seemed               to               think               that               his               divine               kingship               kept               Tahoser               from               loving               him.

He               wished               that               he               were               an               ordinary               man               so               that               she               would               love               him.
               Though               the               heart               of               Tahoser               still               belonged               to               Poeri,               she               spoke               flattering               words               to               the               Pharaoh.

She               actually               desired               to               love               the               Pharaoh,               and               she               probably               was               not               as               far               from               doing               so               as               she               believed.
               A               few               days               later,               the               Pharaoh               met               Moses               and               Aaron               as               he               was               riding               in               his               chariot.

When               Moses               and               Aaron               repeated               God's               command,               the               Pharaoh               told               them               that               he               would               grant               their               request               if               they               could               prove               the               power               of               their               God.

Aaron               stretched               forth               his               rod,               and               the               waters               of               the               Nile               assumed               the               color               of               blood.
               The               Pharaoh               summoned               Ennana               and               his               wise               men.

Ennana               told               Moses               and               Aaron               to               restore               the               waters               to               their               original               condition,               so               that               he               could               repeat               the               miracle.

Aaron               complied,               and               Ennana               nodded               respectfully               to               Aaron               as               he               would               to               a               skillful               colleague.

Ennana               then               repeated               the               miracle.
               When               the               Pharaoh               asked               if               Moses               and               Aaron               had               no               other               proof               of               God's               power,               Moses               told               him               that               they               would               perform               another               wonder               if               the               Pharaoh               did               not               let               Israel               go               in               seven               days.
               When               the               seven               days               had               expired,               Aaron,               at               the               command               of               Moses,               summoned               a               host               of               frogs               to               fill               the               land               of               Egypt.
               In               the               palace,               the               Pharaoh               vainly               killed               frogs               with               his               scepter               and               pushed               them               back               with               his               curved               sandals.

In               spite               of               his               efforts,               the               palace               was               overrun.
               The               king               summoned               the               wise               men.

Ennana               had               trouble               remembering               the               magic               word,               but               finally               he               was               able               to               make               the               frogs               disappear.

However,               Ennana               was               not               satisfied.

He               wanted               to               show               the               Pharaoh               that               he               could               produce               just               as               many               frogs               as               Moses               and               Aaron.

So               he               summoned               the               frogs               and               they               reappeared.
               However,               when               Ennana               tried               to               get               rid               of               them               again,               the               magic               no               longer               worked.

The               Pharaoh               finally               had               to               grant               the               request               of               Moses               and               Aaron,               so               that               they               would               get               rid               of               the               pesky               creatures.

Nevertheless,               when               the               land               was               free               from               frogs,               he               hardened               his               heart               and               did               not               keep               his               promise,               even               though               Tahoser               encouraged               him               to               do               so.
               More               plagues               followed.

Lice               filled               the               land.

Later,               the               Egyptians               were               afflicted               with               boils,               while               the               Israelites               did               not               suffer               this               affliction.
               Ennana               was               able               to               produce               lice.

However,               when               the               Pharaoh               asked               Ennana               to               reproduce               the               plague               of               boils,               he               said               it               was               useless               because               the               finger               of               the               Unknown               was               behind               all               this.

He               suggested               that               they               submit               and               return               to               their               sanctuary               to               study               this               new               powerful               God.
               The               Pharaoh               refused               to               submit.

So               Egypt               continued               to               suffer               plagues.

Their               cattle               died,               while               the               children               of               Israel               did               not               lose               a               single               cow.
               Then               a               thick               cloud               of               grasshoppers               invaded               the               land               of               Egypt.

They               devoured               the               leaves               of               the               trees,               so               that               they               became               as               skeletons.

They               ate               the               grass               and               other               plants,               leaving               the               ground               bare.
               Since               the               Pharaoh               remained               obdurate,               one               plague               followed               another.

Hail               descended               upon               the               land               of               Egypt.

This               plague               was               especially               terrifying               to               the               Egyptians,               since               they               had               never               experienced               it               before.
               Then               a               thick               darkness               covered               the               land.

The               Egyptians               thought               that               they               were               already               in               their               graves               and               loudly               lamented               their               fate.
               Finally,               a               specter               passed               through               the               land               and               killed               the               male               firstborn               in               every               house               not               marked               with               red.

Even               the               Pharaoh               lost               his               firstborn               son.
               When               Moses               appeared,               the               Pharaoh               said:               "Go,               and               sacrifice               to               your               God               as               you               please."
               Tahoser               embraced               the               Pharaoh               and               said:               "Now               I               love               you,               for               you               are               a               man               and               not               a               god               of               granite."               She               had               not               forgotten               Poeri,               but               she               feared               that               the               Pharaoh               was               plotting               vengeance               that               would               annihilate               the               Hebrews.

So               she               tried               to               distract               him               with               her               caresses.
               During               the               burial               of               his               son,               the               Pharaoh               turned               to               Tahoser               and               said:               "Now               I               no               longer               have               a               son,               O               Tahoser.

If               I               die,               you               will               be               queen               of               Egypt."               He               seemed               to               think               that               his               days               were               drawing               to               a               close.
               Tahoser               objected               that               he               had               many               years               to               live,               but               the               Pharaoh               said               that               he               had               been               vanquished.

The               gods               of               Egypt               could               not               protect               him               against               this               unknown               God               of               a               low               race.

As               a               result,               his               prestige               was               gone.
               Nevertheless,               the               Pharaoh               said               that               it               did               not               matter,               since               Tahoser               loved               him.

He               would               marry               her               as               soon               as               the               funeral               rites               were               completed.
               Fearing               that               the               Pharaoh               would               change               his               mind,               the               Hebrews               quickly               left.

The               wise               men               of               Egypt               had               set               up               an               enchanted               statue               that               for               centuries               had               prevented               any               of               the               slaves               from               escaping.

However,               the               Lord               had               destroyed               its               magic,               and               the               Hebrews               paraded               past               it               without               hindrance.

Led               by               a               cloud               of               smoke               by               day               and               a               pillar               of               fire               by               night,               they               journeyed               from               the               Nile               to               the               Sea               of               Weeds.

The               sacrifice               to               the               Lord               had               been               a               pretext.

Israel               was               leaving               Egypt               for               good.

They               carried               the               mummy               of               Joseph               with               them.
               So               the               Pharaoh               became               angry               and               decided               to               pursue               the               fleeing               Israelites               with               six               hundred               war               chariots,               as               well               as               foot               soldiers.
               Pharaoh               and               his               army               caught               up               with               the               Israelites               as               they               were               encamped               by               the               sea.

The               Israelites               were               terrified,               and               many               began               to               curse               Moses               for               leading               them               to               destruction.

The               braver               souls               prepared               to               defend               themselves.
               Moses               stretched               forth               his               hand               over               the               sea,               and               a               mighty               east               wind               arose.

It               divided               the               waters,               creating               a               path               on               which               the               Israelites               could               cross               the               sea.

It               was               the               breath               of               the               Lord               that               was               dividing               the               waters.
               When               the               Egyptians               saw               the               miracle,               they               hesitated               to               follow.

However,               the               Pharaoh               urged               them               on.

After               some               delay,               the               pursuit               began.
               The               Israelite               rear               guard               was               alarmed;               but               when               Moses               gave               the               signal,               the               wheels               of               the               chariots               fell               off.

Confusion               prevailed.

Then               the               mountains               of               water               suddenly               fell,               and               the               sea               closed               in.

The               Egyptian               army               was               engulfed               by               the               waves.
               The               chariot               of               Pharaoh               somehow               rose               to               the               surface.

He               shot               all               his               arrows               at               the               Israelites.

Finally,               he               futilely               threw               his               javelin               against               the               unknown               God               before               sinking               beneath               the               waves.
               Led               by               Miriam,               the               sister               of               Aaron,               the               Israelites               celebrated               their               deliverance               with               song.
               Tahoser               waited               in               vain               for               the               Pharaoh.

She               reigned               briefly               as               queen,               but               soon               died.

Since               the               body               of               the               Pharaoh               was               never               found,               she               was               buried               in               the               tomb               prepared               for               him.

A               scribe               named               Kakevou               wrote               her               biography               and               placed               it               by               her               side.

The               tomb               remained               undiscovered               till               the               expedition               of               Lord               Evandale.
               Although               Lord               Evandale               was               the               last               of               his               line,               he               remained               a               bachelor               all               his               life.

He               was               in               love               with               a               young               lady               who               had               been               dead               for               three               thousand               five               hundred               years.
               Since               I               do               not               have               access               to               the               original               French,               this               summary               is               based               on               an               English               translation               by               Professor               F.
