He knew now why Ben Davis had hated with so deadly a hatred the latent strength that slept under the Quietist languor and nonchalance of "the d d Guards' swell."

'It is not the Tyahas that will attack such a band. 'Nor are they the Gherashi or the Mezeines, said the Sheikh, 'for we know what they are after, and we are brothers.

'I dare say you do: however, we must make the best of present circumstances. I wanted to know, in the first place, whether you had food; as for lodging, Mr. Baroni, I dare say, will manage something for you; and if not, you had better quarter yourselves by the side of this tent.
