"I will command."
"And wilt Thou take me to thy household?"
Ramses looked at her.
"I will take thee, for Thou art a beauty."
"Really?" asked she, putting her arm around his neck. "Look at me better. Among the beauties of Egypt I hold only the fourth place."
"What does that mean?"
"In Memphis, or near there, dwells thy first; happily she is only a
Jewess! In Sochem is the second."
"I know nothing of that one," interrupted Ramses.
"Oh, Thou dove! Then surely Thou knowest nothing of the third one in
Ami."
