But it was not with such reflections that the mind of this bad man was occupied. His eye was upon the gigantic and gloomy outlines of the old castle, where, in a flanking tower of enormous size and thickness, glimmered two lights, one from the window of the strong room, where Hatteraick was confined, the other from that of the adjacent apartment, occupied by his keepers.
"Master, I see," answered one of the gigantic blacks, speaking with a strange, thick accent. "Lead him away, thou and Musa. Thy hands and Musa's are strong. Remember, no drop of blood must be shed in El Barr. But let not the dog see another sun. I have spoken."
