"By Har!" she panted, "but I think he must know that he carries to-night the destinies of empire! Mount, mount, my lord, and bear me company if this son of Eblis tries to run away with me!" The sowar surrendered to Amber the reins of the other stallion, and stepped hastily aside.
Mebby she got it from them. A site of me will cure her sho'. Tell her I'se comin' to see her as soon as I hear from you that it is her, sho'. Thar might be some mistake, an' I doan' want to take the long journey for nothin', 'case I'm ole, tho' I feels mighty peart now wid de news. Rite me wen you git this. I shall wait till I har, an' then start to onc't. "Yours to command,

I ham a Fr-r-rench-a-man!
The questioner controlled himself. "M-hum," he responded, with a contraction of the eyes. Raoul waited an instant for some kindlier comment, and finding the hope vain, suddenly assumed a look of delighted admiration. "Hi, yi, yi! Doctah, 'ow you har lookingue fine."
