Clarke spoke to him in Turkish and he replied. She turned to the Ambassador. "You do want a cup of coffee, don't you?" "If you tell me I do." "By the stream just beyond the lane. And I'll ride home. I've ordered all the things you like best for dinner. Ahmed Bey and Madame Davroulos will make a four." "And Delia and Cyril Vane a two!" "You must try to control your very natural jealousy."
Equally characteristic was his attitude toward Mahommed Ahmed, the leader of the "Mahdist" uprising in the Egyptian Sudan. Flushed with victory, Mahommed Ahmed sent emissaries to El Sennussi, asking his aid. El Sennussi refused, remarking haughtily: "What have I to do with this fakir from Dongola? Am I not myself Mahdi if I choose?" These Fabian tactics do not mean that the Sennussi are idle.
Hasan, in 1132; brother of a Mohammed, who emigrated to Morocco. Mohammed, in 1174. Abou-el-Kasem Abd Errahman, in 1207. Mohammed, in 1236. El-Kaseru, in 1271, brother of Ahmed, who also emigrated into Africa, and was father of eight children, one of whom was: 21. Mohammed, in 1367.
"I think we'll do that without your help, thank you," replied Stephen drily. The fat man looked slightly less agreeable, but touched a bell in the wall by his desk. A boy answered and was sent to command Angéle and Ahmed to report at once. Also he was to summon the porter, whether that man had finished his breakfast or not.
At the very moment when he had secretly worked upon the king to throw himself into the protecting arms of the British Raj assassinated! The council? Umballa? Some outsider, made mad by oppression? The egg of Brahma was strangely hatched this curious old world! Ahmed remained hidden in the bazaars, to await the ordeals.
These survivors were added to the army of Ahmed Fedil, and thus prevented from spreading their evil tidings among the populace at Omdurman. Osman Digna, Wad Bishara, and other important Emirs whose devotion and discretion were undoubted, alone returned to the capital. As soon as the troops were re-formed, the zeriba was evacuated and the army drew up in line along the neighbouring ridge.
It was certainly a fine compliment for the feast, to men in the situation of the people of Ghadames. And my informant added: "Ahmed Effendi in The Mountains is the rascal and the infidel, and does not tell the Pasha we are a nation of dervishes." Said told me a slave was brought up to day to be bastinadoed, but reprieved till to-morrow on account of the feast.
"By the religion of Him whom I adore, you shall show me where this Redah lives or I'll cut off your head." "Know, then, that she lives far from here, and that there is between her and you no less than forty days' journey." Ahmed went home, and took as provisions for the journey forty dates of the deglet-nour variety, putting them into his pocket. He mounted his steed and departed.
There is no other way," he said dully. "If you really loved me you would not let me go," she cried, with a miserable sob. "If I loved you?" he echoed, with a hard laugh. "If I loved you! It is because I love you so much that I am able to do it. If I loved you a little less I would let you stay and take your chance." She flung out her hands appealingly. "I want to stay, Ahmed!
"Let him sleep, Mem-sahib," warned Ahmed from across the fire. "He has been fighting the old guru." "What?" Kathlyn whispered back. "Where?" Ahmed smiled grimly and pointed toward his forehead. "Is there really such evil, Ahmed?" "Evil begets evil, heaven born, just as good begets good. The Colonel Sahib did wrong. And who shall deny some of these gurus a supernatural power? I have seen; I know."
