"Yes, please do come and meet her. She is very quiet like a mouse. Nu-Antef kept his wife pregnant. He had 3 boys, ages 5, 3, 1 plus one one the way. Poor girl.......The older two might remember their father but not the younger or the one yet to be born. She may be a bit bruised from him. He was very controlling. The only good thing  is that the boys may not be influenced by Nu-Antef's actions and ways." Hat-Su spoke quietly as she put her shawl on.<br/><br/>"The basket is ready, Mother Hat-Su. Are you able to walk or do you wish to have your litter?" Merit asked.<br/><br/>"I think the litter. Pleases see to it for me, daughter Merit and thank you."<br/><br/>Merit soon had the litter readied and Hat-Su was resting on it as the small  group went to Nu-Antef' s home. Others had already gathered about the wife who was attempting to remain quiet and out of the way. The womanfolk spoke quietly and the young ladies of the  family were playing with the children and making sure that they were ok.
