"Thy words are almost as sweet as thy kisses are, O Nitocris!" he said, "for I would sooner see thee  yes, I would sooner see thee in the hands of the Paraschites  this lovely body of thine dead  knowing that thy soul was waiting for mine on the shores of Amenti, than I would know that those sweet lips had been defiled by the touch of such as he; and yet surely thou hast spoken with him. THY WORDS ARE ALMOST AS SWEET AS THY KISSES ARE O NIDICROUS HE SAID FOR I SOONER WOULD SEE THEE YES I WOULD SOONER SEE THEE IN THE HANDS OF THE PARACHITES THIS LOVELY BODY OF THINE DEAD KNOWING THAT THY SOUL WAS WAITING FOR MINE ON THE SHORES OF AMITY THAN I WOULD KNOW THAT THOSE SWEET LIPS HAD BEEN DEFILED BY THE TOUCH OF SUCH AS HE AND YET SURELY THOU HAST SPOKEN WITH HIM
y at the earliest. That night, when the moon was sinking low down in the west towards the dark hills of the Libyan Desert, and the Isis Star was glowing palely like an expiring lamp hung high above the brightening eastern earth-line, he saw her muffled form gliding ghost-like towards him as he stood waiting for her on the terrace. She was clad like the meanest of her serving-maids, just as a common slave-wench who had stolen out to meet a lover of her own sort might have been. When she came within a pace of him, he held his arms out. She put hers out too, and for a moment they looked in silence into each other's eyes, and then she, seeing that the kiss which she expected did not come, parted her lips and said smilingly: "You need not fear to kiss them, dearest, they have not yet been polluted by the lips of Menkau-Ra, although all the city has been hailing him as the betrothed of Nitocris." Then he smiled too, and their lips met in such a long, silent kiss as only lovers give and take. LL THE NEXT DAY AT THE EARLIEST THAT NIGHT WHEN THE MOON WAS SINKING LOW DOWN IN THE WEST TOWARDS THE DOCK HILLS OF THE LIBYAN DESERT AND THE ICE'S STAR WAS GLOWING PALELY LIKE AN EXPIRING LAMP HUNG HIGH ABOVE THE BRIGHTENING EASTERN EARTH LINE HE SAW HER MUFFLED FORM GLIDING GHOST LIKE TOWARDS HIM AS HE STOOD WAITING FOR HER ON THE TERRACE SHE WAS CLAD LIKE THE MEANEST OF HER SERVING MAIDS JUST AS A COMMON SLAVE WENCH WHO HAD STOLEN OUT TO MEET A LOVER OF HER OWN SORT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WHEN SHE CAME WITHIN A PACE OF HIM HE HELD HIS ARMS OUT SHE PUT HERS OUT TOO AND FOR A MOMENT THEY LOOKEDED IN SILENCE INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES AND THEN SHE SEEING THAT THE KISS WHICH SHE EXPECTED DID NOT COME PARTED HER LIPS AND SAID SMILINGLY YOU DO NOT NEED TO FEAR TO KISS THEM DEAREST THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN POLLUTED BY THE LIPS OF MANKHURAH ALTHOUGH ALL THE CITY HAS BEEN HAILING HIM AS THE BETROTHED OF NIDIKRUS THEN HE SMILED TOO AND THEIR LIPS MET IN SUCH A LONG SILENT KISS AS ONLY LOVERS GIVE AND TAKE
