The thing was life-like and horrible, and as it was, so was the dumb and stricken Pharaoh on his bed.
Neter-Tua hid her eyes for a while, and leaned against the wall, then she drew herself up and said: "Call the physicians and the members of the Council, and those who can be spared of the officers of the guard, that everyone of them may see and bear witness to the hideous crime which has been worked against Pharaoh by his brother, the Prince Abi, and the wizard Kaku, and their accomplice, the woman Merytra." So they were called, and came, and when they saw the dreadful thing lying in its waxen whiteness before them, they wailed and cursed those who had wrought this abominable sorcery.
"Curse them not," said Neter-Tua, "who are already accursed, and given over to the Devourer of Souls when their time shall come.

Make a record of this deed, O Scribes, and do it swiftly." So the scribes wrote the matter down, and the Queen and others who were present signed the writings as witnesses.

Then Neter-Tua commanded that they should take the image and destroy it before it worked more evil, and a priest of Osiris who was present seized it and departed.
But Neter-Tua went to Pharaoh's room and knelt by his bed, watching him, for he seemed to be asleep.

Presently he awoke, and looked round him wildly, moving his lips.

For a while he could not speak, then of a sudden his voice burst from him in a hoarse, unnatural cry.
"They have bewitched me! I burn, I burn!" he screamed, rolling himself to and fro upon the bed.
