It is said that Sultan Hasan was so delighted with the edifice that he ordered the architect's hands cut off, for fear he might duplicate his success, an act committed presumably on the principle that "the end justifies the means." Their edifices are marvels of artistic skill, and, by the time of Kâït Bey, perfection seemed almost to have been reached.
The architect's antiquarian lore came back to her with a rush, and she remembered something she had seen in a museum a relic of the inquisition. "Good Heavens!" she whispered. "What is this an instrument of torture?" It certainly looked mightily like one of the head-crushing devices Billie had seen.
On the one hand, the architect's devotion to his idea, to the image of a house which he had created and believed in had made him nervous of being stopped, or forced to the use of makeshifts; on the other, Soames' not less true and wholehearted devotion to the very best article that could be obtained for the money, had rendered him averse to believing that things worth thirteen shillings could not be bought with twelve.

"I can't tell you off-hand," thoughtfully answered Bosinney, "but I know it was a deuce of a lot!" "I should think so," said James. "I should...." He caught the architect's eye, and broke off. And now, whenever he came to anything of which he desired to know the cost, he stifled that curiosity.
Some one proposed a three times three for the home quarries. The men rose to their feet and the cheers were given with a will. The ringing echo of the last had not died away when the quarry vanished, and in its place stood the finished cathedral of A. the work which the hands of those present were to create. It was a reproduction of the architect's water-color sketch.
He, too, was rapidly making a reputation and a name for himself, and, if business improved, was not prevented from entering into other enterprises besides the one in which he found himself so deeply interested. As a member of the firm, he could not free himself. As an architect, he could have an architect's office of his own and build for any one who chose to employ him.
