"Ah!" cried he, "this is not even a wound, it is only a blue spot."
He looked at Sarah attentively.
"I never-thought," said he, "that Thou wouldst have a blue spot. This changed thy face considerably."
"Then I please thee no longer?" whispered Sarah, raising on him great eyes full of fear.
"Oh, no! this will pass quickly."
Then he called Tutmosis and the black, and commanded to tell him what had happened that evening.
"He defended us," said Sarah. "He stood, with an axe, in the doorway."
"Didst Thou do that?" asked the prince, looking quickly into the eyes of the Nubian.
"Was I to let strange people break into thy house, lord?"
Ramses patted him on the curly head.
