"I will put my fear in their heart, and they shall not depart from me." Where the fear of the Lord and sin are, it will be with the soul as it was with Israel when Amri and Tibni strove to reign among them both at once. One of them must be put to death, they cannot live together.
Be worthy, not of my thoughts, but of the shape in which they represent you: and every ray of glory that surrounds you will brighten my own way, and inspire me with a kindred emulation. Farewell. I may write to you again, but you will never discover me; and in life I pray that we may never meet!" "Our list of nobles next let Amri grace." Absalom and Achitophel.
"If this bill's introduced, Amri," said Scattergood, solemnly, "there'll be a chance for some of the boys to fat up their savings' account pervidin' there's a good chance of its passin'. The railroads'll git scairt and send quite a bank roll up this way." "You bet," said Amri, with watering mouth. "Lafe in town?" "Come in last week." "Lafe, I understand, hain't in politics for fun."
"And say, Amri, here's a leetle bill you might jest slip along quick. Don't amount to nothin', but it might help me some. Like to git the Governor's signature to it as soon as it kin be done." Amri read it cautiously. It was just a harmless little measure having to do with stage lines. "All right," he said, carelessly.
When we first left Al Hafa, a message had been sent to the Mahri chiefs to come and arrange about our journey, but on our return we found that only two had come. They said if we would give them 200 reals, i.e. about 12l., they would let us go through their country, but they made no allusion to the request that they would arrange with the Minhali, Amri, Kattiri, and Tamimi.
We ourselves were not at the appointed place, for we were kept pent into the little wadi. We were told that two men had been murdered on the way to Sheher, but we never made out who they were; also that a seyyid and a lot of the Amri tribe had come, so the Relation took my horse and went off to investigate them.
Never recollect nothin' resemblin' it since I been in politics. What you after?" "Jest pleasure, Lafe.... Jest pleasure. Is it a deal?" "It's a deal." "Amri outside?" "Standin' guard, Scattergood." "When you go out send him in." Amri opened the door that Lafe closed behind him. "All fixed," said Scattergood. "I want to see these boys to-night." Scattergood handed Amri a list of names.
The following evening we were thrown into some excitement by the arrival of the sultan in our room with seven letters, the general tenor of which was that eight of the Tamimi had come, with the siyara of four Amri only, and no siyara of Kattiri, as far as Siwoun, and asked to be passed on, but that the Kattiri refused them safe conduct; they asked the sultan of Shibahm to go to Shibahm and arrange for them to reach us.
"I was thinkin' of somethin' I heard up to Purse's last night," he said as he covered his pudding with the thick cream sauce. "Amri Shapless has ben gittin' married." "Wa'al, I declare!" she exclaimed. "That ole shack! Who in creation could he git to take him?" "Lize Annis is the lucky woman," replied David with a grin. "Wa'al, if that don't beat all!" said Mrs.
Amri read the bill; then he turned around in his chair and looked out of the window. Then he walked to the door and opened it suddenly, and peered up and down the hall. "The dum thing's loaded with dynamite," he said, when he came back. "Calc'lated on some explosion," said Scattergood. "But I calc'late the folks'll be for it.
