"Yes, there is another way, and only one to save me, Nefer  if truly the soul of my beloved is looking out of thine eyes into mine," she whispered, coming close to him and laying her hands lightly upon his shoulders, "there is another way, but it is the way that leads through the mystery of the things that are into the deeper mystery of the things that are to be  the way of death and vengeance. YES THERE IS ANOTHER WAY AND THE ONLY ONE TO SAVE ME NEPHER IF TRULY THE SOUL OF MY BELOVED IS LOOKING OUT OF THINE EYES INTO MINE SHE WHISPERED COMING CLOSE TO HIM AND LAYING HER HANDS LIGHTLY UPON HIS SHOULDERS THERE IS ANOTHER WAY BUT IT IS THE WAY THAT LEADS THROUGH THE MYSTERY OF THE THINGS THAT ARE INTO THE DEEPER MYSTERY OF THE THINGS THAT ARE TO BE THE WAY OF DEATH AND VENGEANCE
eplied softly, as she slipped out of his arms, "but it is one thing to claim and another to get. Yes, I have spoken with him. I have promised all, and given nothing. I have not even yielded my hand to his lips, for I told him in answer to all the entreaties of his love--and of a truth I tell thee that he loves me very dearly, for that great, strong frame of his shook like a bulrush in the wind under the breath of my lightest words--that, until the last vows had made us man and wife, I would be his queen and he should be my subject and my slave, even as he was of the great Rameses; and with this he was fain to be content, thinking, no doubt, how soon he would be my lord and master, and I his--his queen and plaything, bound by the law that may not be broken, to submit to every varying whim and humour of his passion." "Thy master, Nitocris! Thine! Such shame could never be. Rather would the High Gods permit Death to be the Master of Life, or Night to be Lord of Day. Is there no other way?  PROMISE OF THE GREAT KING AH YES SHE REPLIED SOFTLY AS SHE SLIPPED OUT OF HIS ARMS BUT AS ONE THING TO CLAIM AND ANOTHER TO GET YES I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HIM I HAVE PROMISED ALL AND GIVEN NOTHING I HAVE NOT EVEN YIELDED MY HAND TO HIS LIPS FOR I TOLD HIM IN ANSWER TO ALL THE ENTREATIES OF HIS LOVE AND OF A TRUTH I TELL THEE THAT HE LOVES ME VERY DEARLY FOR THAT GREAT STRONG FRAME OF HIS SHOOK LIKE A BULRUSH IN THE WIND UNDER THE BREATH OF MY LIGHTEST WORDS THAT UNTIL THE LAST BOWS MADE US MAN AND WIFE I WOULD BE HIS QUEEN AND HE SHOULD BE MY SUBJECT AND MY SLAVE EVEN AS HE WAS OF THE GREAT RAMESES AND WITH THIS HE WAS FAIN TO BE CONTENT THINKING NO DOUBT HOW SOON HE WOULD BE MY LORD AND MASTER AND I HIS HIS QUEEN AND PLAYTHING BOUND BY THE LAW THAT MAY NOT BE BROKEN TO SUBMIT TO EVERY VARYING WHIM AND HUMOUR OF HIS PASSION THY MASTER NICUS THINE SUCH SHAME COULD NEVER BE WHETHER WOULD THE HIGH GODS PERMIT DEATH TO BE THE MASTER OF LIFE OR NIGHT TO BE THE LORD OF DAY IS THERE NO OTHER WAY
