'Truly there is but one God, said Sheikh Hassan, 'and Mahomet is his Prophet. He told my fathers to pray to Allah, and to Allah I pray. 'Is Mahomet the prophet of God, Sheikh of Sheikhs? 'It may be, replied Amalek, with a nod of assent. 'Then why do you not pray as Sheikh Hassan?
"Will you," asked the Minister, "present me to your young heroine?" "Oh! let me come with you," besought his wife. The Belgian Prince looked questioningly at Sardou, and at his nod of acquiescence they prepared to go and salute the new star just risen in the Parisian firmament. "Come with us, my dear Count."

All the chiefs in succession made speeches, the old men giving a grunt and a nod of approbation at the end of each sentence.

He seemed to be ordering them off the earth as well as the beach. And Raft stood there patient and dumb like a chidden child. Then she saw Raft nod his head and turn away.
