I was saying thou hast no common mind, Alroy; indeed thou hast a mind unlike all others. Listen, my Prince. Thou hast read mankind deeply and truly. Few have seen more than thyself, and none have so rare a spring of that intuitive knowledge of thy race, which is a gem to which experience is but a jeweller, and without which no action can befriend us. 'Well, well! 'A moment's calmness.
An' your name, it is Loisette Alroy' ah, I have it in my mind now Loisette. I not forget dat name, I not forget you no." "Why do you want to go the 'quick' way to Askatoon?" she asked. He puffed a moment at his pipe before he answered her. Presently he said, holding out his pipe, "You not like smoke, mebbe?" She shook her head in negation, making an impatient gesture. "I forget ask you," he said.
No one moved, no one, even by gesture, seemed sensible of the presence of any other apparition save himself. Suddenly there advanced from the bottom of the hall, near unto Alroy, a procession.
Day dawned upon Jabaster, still musing in solitude among his rocks. Within the cavern, Alroy remained in prayer. Often and anxiously the Cabalist shot a glance at his companion, and then again relapsed into reverie. 'The time is come that I must to this youth reveal the secrets of my early life. Much will he hear of glory, much of shame. Naught must I conceal, and naught gloss over.
Where is Abdallah? 'Selling sherbet in the square. We shall find him. Has Alroy come forth? 'Yes! he goes the other way. We shall be too late. Only think of Abdallah selling sherbet!

Instantly Alroy took the scroll, and with great energy tore it into a thousand pieces. A puff of wind carried the fragments far and wide. The mob fought for these last memorials of David Alroy, and this little incident occasioned a great confusion. In the meantime the negroes prepared the instruments of torture and of death.
'I'll answer for his treason. 'Hah! I do suspect him. Therefore I give him no command. I would not have him too near his old companion, eh? We will garrison the city with his rebels. 'Sire, these are not moments to be nice. Scherirah is a valiant captain, a very valiant captain, but lend me thy signet ring, I pray thee, Sire. Alroy turned pale.
Be he with the Lord, and we shall prosper. It was at sunset, on the third day after the arrival of Alroy at the cave of the Cabalist, that the Prince of the Captivity commenced his pilgrimage in quest of the sceptre of Solomon.
