What other could fence this garden round against the curses that have fallen upon Egypt ?" asked Ki earnestly, for now all his mocking manner had departed.
"I do not think she does these things, Ki.

I think some Power does them through her, and I know that she dared to face Amon in his temple because she was bidden so to do by the priests of her people." "Prince," he answered with a short laugh, "a while ago I sent you a message by Ana, which perhaps other thoughts may have driven from his memory.

It was as to the nature of that Power of which you speak.

In that message I said that you were wise, but now I perceive that you lack wisdom like the rest of us, for if you had it, you would know that the tool which carves is not the guiding hand, and the lightning which smites is not the sending strength.

So with this fair love of yours, and so with me and all that work marvels.
