The Ancient Allan

CHAPTER XV
20/21

It seems that my sister is dead, this year past, and the holy Tanofir has no one to hold his cup." "And what shall I do ?" asked Bes.
"That is for you to say, Husband.

But if you will, you can stay here and guard our children, giving the command of your army to the lord Shabaka." Now, for we were alone, Bes twisted himself about, rolling his eyes and laughing as he used to do before he became Karoon of Ethiopia.
"O-ho-ho! Wife," he said, "so you are to go to Egypt, leaving me to play the nurse to babes, and my brother here is to command my armies, leaving me to look after the old men and the women.

I think that I shall come also, that is if my brother wishes it.

Did he not save my life and is it not his and with it all I have?
Oh! have done.
