The note of badinage was discernible again, but Cairn passed out into the mandarah without replying, where the fountain plashed coolly and the silver mibkharah sent up its pencils of vapour. The outer door was opened by the Oriental servant, and Ferrara stood and bowed to his departing visitor. He did not proffer his hand. "Until our next meeting. Cairn, es-selâm aleykûm!"
Having heard of the approach of a great prince of the English, their chief expected to receive a visit from his Highness, with supplication in due form for leave to journey through his territory. When he learnt that the Emîr had entered his realm without so much as a salâm aleykum, he resolved to make the mannerless cub his guest by force.
Mouled Seydna Abou Beker, a small chapel, just opposite to the stone which gave a salutation, "Salam Aleykum," to Mohammed whenever he passed it. No sacred spot is here shown; but its floor is covered with very fine Persian carpets. All these Mouleds had undergone complete repair since the retreat of the Wahabys, except that of Mohammed, on which the workmen were still employed.
Oh, would that thou had lived to bury us, our little neighbour!" And everyone began to rock and wail anew. 'The stranger stood and looked upon them for a moment, then he shouted: "Tfû 'aleykum!" and spat upon the ground. No other word did he vouchsafe to them, but walked away; and he continued walking till he reached his native home.
I found his highness seated in a large saloon, with the Kadhy on one hand, and Hassan Pasha, the chief of the Arnaut soldiers, on the other; thirty or forty of his principal officers formed a half-circle about the sofa on which they sat; and a number of Bedouin sheikhs were squatted in the midst of the semicircle. I went up to the Pasha, gave him the "Salam Aleykum," and kissed his hand.
The Eimuck joins heartily with our party in laughing at the altered contour of the pliant skin, as pointed out jocularly by Mohammed Ahzim Khan, bids us "salaam aleykum," and pursues his way across country. During the afternoon we cross several well-worn trails; though evidently but little used of late, they have seen much travel.
Greeting him with the customary "Salaam aleykum" and being similarly greeted in reply, I dismount to ascertain who and what he is.
I started, for the aspect of this majestic figure was entirely different from that of the old stranger who had stood suppliant before me a moment ago. "It is impossible," I said. "I can come to no terms with those who shield murderers." He regarded me fixedly, but did not move. "Es-selam 'aleykum!" The old man lowered his eyes, and saluted me with graceful gravity.
