These I presented to Pharaoh, who took them doubtfully, declaring that he did not understand the Prince Seti's mind and actions.
"They hide no snare, O Pharaoh," I said.

"As you rejoice in the glory that the gods have sent you, so the Prince my master rejoices in the rest and peace which the gods have given him, asking no more." "It may be so, Scribe, but I find this so strange a thing, that sometimes I fear lest the rich flowers of this glory of mine should hide some deadly snake, whereof the Prince knows, if he did not set it there." "I cannot say, O Pharaoh, but without doubt, although he could work no guile, the Prince is not as are other men.

His mind is both wide and deep." "Too deep for me," muttered Amenmeses.

"Nevertheless, say to my royal cousin that I thank him for his gifts, especially as some of them were worn, when he was heir to Egypt, by my father Khaemuas, who I would had left me his wisdom as well as his blood.

Say to him also that while he refrains from working me harm upon the throne, as I know he has done up to the present, he may be sure that I will work him none in the station which he has chosen." Also I saw the Princess Userti who questioned me closely concerning her lord.
