Kasana laid her hand upon his lips, pointed anxiously to Ephraim and the guide, and said gently: "Spare my father! The prince what roused his enmity. . . . "
"They intimated to me the scheme they were weaving in his interest; they wished to put me in the place of the Syrian Aarsu, the commander of the mercenaries, if I would consent to let them have their way with my people and desert those of my own blood.
