'It depends upon what you mean by the spot, replied Pasqualigo. 'Your information is second-hand, observed Barizy. 'But you acknowledge it is correct? said Pasqualigo, more eagerly. 'It depends upon whether your friend was present and here Barizy hesitated. 'It does, said Pasqualigo. 'Then he was present? said Barizy. 'He was.
Let us inquire also with Barizy of the Tower, where was Besso? Alone in his private chamber, agitated and troubled, awaiting the return of his daughter from the bath; and even now, the arrival may be heard of herself and her attendants in the inner court. 'You want me, my father? said Eva, as she entered. 'Ah! you are disturbed. What has happened?
'Very just, said Barizy of the Tower. 'There will be a great opening here. I think of doing a little myself in cottons; but the house of Besso will monopolise everything. 'I don't think the English can do much here, said the Consul, shaking his head. 'What have we to give them in exchange? The people here had better look to Austria, if they wish to thrive.
'He has been absent six months; he has been in Egypt. 'To see the temples of the fire-worshippers, and to shoot crocodiles. They all do that, said the Consul Pasqualigo. 'How glad he must be to get back to Jerusalem, said Barizy of the Tower. 'There may be larger cities, but there are certainly none so beautiful. 'The most beautiful city in the world is the city of Venice, said Pasqualigo.
'And they say, after all, that this was not a Latin pilgrim, said Barizy of the Tower. 'He could not have been one of my people, said the Armenian, 'or he never would have gone to the Holy Sepulchre with the Spanish prior. 'Had he been one of your people, said Pasqualigo, 'he could not have paid 10,000 piastres for a pilgrimage.
'It depends upon what part of the desert is in question, said Pasqualigo. 'Of course the part where it took place. I say the Arabian desert belongs to the Viceroy; my cousin, Barizy of the Gate, says "No, it belongs to the Porte." Raphael Tafna says it belongs to neither. The Bedouins are independent. 'But they are not recognised, said the Consul Pasqualigo.
'Then he knows, said Barizy, eagerly, 'whether the young English prince was murdered intentionally or by hazard. 'A h, said Pasqualigo, whom not the slightest rumour of the affair had yet reached, 'that is a great question. 'But everything depends upon it, said Barizy.
'The physician of the English prince told me 'He has not seen the physician of the English prince! screamed Pasqualigo, triumphantly. 'I know that, said Barizy, rallying; 'but the physician of the English prince says for flesh-wounds 'There are no flesh-wounds, said the Consul Pasqualigo. 'They have all healed; 'tis an internal shock.
'The Arabs care shroff for your Turkish garrison of the city, said Barizy, with great derision. 'They are eight hundred strong, said Pasqualigo. 'Eight hundred weak, you mean. No, as Raphael Tafna was saying, when Mehemet. Ali was master, the tribes were quiet enough. But the Turks could never manage the Arabs, even in their best days.
'Every drop of his blood, exclaimed the leader of the strange Arabs, 'is worth ten thousand piastres. Plans for Rescue THERE is Besso? said Barizy of the Tower, as the Consul Pasqualigo entered the divan of the merchant, about ten days after the departure of Tancred from Jerusalem for Mount Sinai. 'Where is Besso? I have already smoked two chibouques, and no one has entered except yourself.
