“"Most unacceptable—and for your own sake, too, I must add, Lord Chamberlain. The words I have are for your sovereign alone. When may I speak with the king?" Sir Chauncey set his mouth in a tight line. "As you wish, Magister. The next possible audience is the day after tomorrow. Please be at the citadel on the stroke of eight." "I understand," the wizard-priest replied. "Thank you for your courteous assistance in this matter." "No trouble at all, sir," the chamberlain said with sudden thawing to... his cold tone. "Yes . . . speaking of courtesy, is there anything I can do to make your stay more comfortable? Have you lodging?" "There is nothing, thank you. There is a small Egyptian quarter in Londun, I believe. Several acquaintances of mine dwell there, and I will stay with one of them until the day of the audience." Sir Chauncey was still being helpful. "I say, Magister Inhetep. At least allow me to get you a chair and a guide! That section of Londun is quite a warren. It's possible to get lost just trying to arrive in the vicinity." "That's most kind but unnecessary," Setne said, with a smile of thanks to match the chamberlain's own cordiality.MoreLessRead More Read Less
