On the ground floor he removed his dusty dress , bathed in a stone basin , and put on a kind of great sheet which he fastened at the neck and bound round his waist with a cord for a girdle . On the first floor he ate a supper consisting of a wheaten cake , dates , and a glass of light beer . Then he went to the terrace of the building , and lying on a couch covered with a lion skin , commanded the servants to withdraw and to bring up Tutmosis the moment he appeared there . About midnight a litter stopped before the residence , and out of it stepped the adjutant . When he walked along the terrace heavily yawning as he went , the prince sprang up from the couch and cried , `` Art Thou here ? Well , what ? '' `` Then art Thou not sleeping yet ? ''
