Two boys were standing in the shelter of a doorway, smoking, and before he reached them he had recognised Heron by his voice. Here comes the noble Dedalus! cried a high throaty voice. Welcome to our trusty friend! This welcome ended in a soft peal of mirthless laughter as Heron salaamed and then began to poke the ground with his cane.
Rukn-ud-din salaamed and withdrew on leave being given, while Badan Hazari lingered to report that the corpse and the women were halted in the courtyard of the tomb, according to his orders, and that the guard, though evidently disturbed in mind by Sher Singh's overtures, had so far faithfully prevented him and his followers from entering.
Bring him to me quickly." The Brahmin approached, salaamed. "What do you wish?" Bruce asked curtly. "A thousand rupees, Huzoor!" blandly. "And what have you that is worth that many rupees?" irritably. The Brahmin salaamed again. "Huzoor, a slave this day was purchased by Durga Ram, Umballa, so-called.
Damaris Hethencourt most certainly ought not to have been there, but you must perforce follow the path Fate has marked out for you, whether it leads through country lanes, or Piccadilly, or the Arab quarter of Cairo. The vendor of silks salaamed deeply before her beauty and the graciousness of her manner, for she smiled when she talked and spoke the prettiest broken Arabic in the world.
"To-morrow at the same hour," said Damaris, feeding the stallion with sugar, "he will know me better." "Ma sha-Allah!" murmured the servant to himself, praising the courage of this bit of a woman. "Bikhatirkum," she said gently, as she moved off in the car. "Ma'a-s-salamah ya sitti," answered the delighted, astounded man as he salaamed almost to the ground before such unexpected graciousness.
What he did see, as he faced that way, was that each of his men salaamed low and covered his face with both hands as he entered. "Whom do ye salute?" he asked. Ismail stared back at him almost insolently, as one who would rebuke a fool. "Is this not her nest these days?" he answered. "It is well to bow low. She is not as other women. She is she!

The old woman who had opened the door, salaamed, touching the floor with her forehead as Hamilton walked in, and then securely shut and fastened the door behind him. Saidie rose and looked through the shimmering lines of the chick at him as he entered.
T. X. gave him a nod and then, as the newcomer stood with the door open, obviously waiting for somebody to follow him, he said, "Show him in I will see him alone." There walked into his office, a tall man wearing a frock coat and a red fez. He was a man from fifty-five to sixty, powerfully built, with a grave dark face and a thin fringe of white beard. He salaamed as he entered.
"I am here in obedience to the will of the pacha," replied the man in a most musical voice, as he salaamed low. "What does his highness require of his slave Menouni?" "His highness requires a proof of thy talent, and an opportunity to extend his bounty."
Presently Nahoum entered and salaamed low, then put his hand upon his turban. There was submission, but no cringing or servility in his manner. His blue eyes looked fearlessly before him. His face was not paler than its wont. He waited for Kaid to speak. "Peace be to thee," Kaid murmured mechanically. "And to thee, peace, O Prince," answered Nahoum.
