I have found you my true and faithful friend, and I had been in danger of believing those over-anxious counsellors who spoke evil of you.

I am never prone to distrust, but a number of things occurred together that clouded my judgment, and I did you injustice.

I am sorry, sincerely sorry; nor am I ashamed to apologize to you for having for an instant doubted your good intentions.

You are my good friend--and I will prove to you that I am yours.

There is my hand-take it; and all Egypt shall know that Rameses trusts no man more implicitly than his Regent Ani.
