I am sure the Emir will manage it all, especially with the aid and counsel of that beauteous Lady of Bethany, in whose wisdom and goodness I have implicit faith. 'I have more faith in her than in the Emir, said Baroni. 'I never know what these Shehaabs are after. Now, he has not gone to El Khuds this morning; of that I am sure.
'The East is used up. 'It is not more used up than when Mahomet arose, said Tancred. 'Weak and withering as may be the government of the Turks, it is not more feeble and enervated than that of the Greek empire and the Chosroes. 'I don't know anything about them, replied Baroni; 'but I know there is nothing to be done with the people here. I have seen something of them, said Baroni.
'As this feat pleases you, said the father, 'and as we have a gentleman here to-night who has proved himself a liberal patron of artists, I will show you something that I rarely exhibit; I will hold the whole of the Baroni family with my two hands; and hereupon addressing some stout-looking fellows among his audience, he begged them to come forward and hold each end of a plank that was leaning against the wall, one which had not been required for the quickly-constructed stage.
'A Shehaab will look after the main chance, said Baroni. 'But his main chance may be the salvation of his country, said Tancred. 'Nothing can save his country, said Baroni. 'The Syrians were ever slaves. 'I do not call them slaves now, said Tancred; 'why, they are armed and are warlike! All that they want is a cause. 'And that they never will have, said Baroni. 'Why?
What roused him from his watchful reverie was a voice that called his name very softly, and, looking round, he beheld the Emir Fakredeen on tiptoe, with his finger on his mouth. Baroni rose, and Fakredeen inviting him with a gesture to leave the tent, he found without the lady of the caravan.
Baroni picked up a memorandum book from his table, turning over the pages till he came to her name. "Ach! I remember now. Miss Waghorne my old pupil sent you. She has been teaching you, isn't it so?" Diana nodded. "Yes, I've had a few lessons from her, and she hoped that possibly you would take me as a pupil."
'I am under the greatest obligations to the Emir Fakredeen, said Tancred, 'and independently of such circumstances, I very much like him. 'I know nothing against the noble Emir, said Baroni, 'and I am sure he has been extremely polite and attentive to your lordship; but still those Shehaabs, they are such a set, always after something!
"Thank heaven! thank heaven!" exclaimed Baroni, wringing Max's hand. "You haf saved the situation, Mr. Errington." A minute later Diana found herself mounting the platform steps, her hand in Max's. His close, firm clasp steadied and reassured her.
It was scarcely heavier than an arm-chair. Baroni, the courier, had carried it down to the Cam that morning, and Rafael had seen the singular sport which we have mentioned. The dinner over, the young men rushed from their colleges, flushed, full-fed, and eager for battle. If the Gown was angry, the Town, too, was on the alert.
Yet any meeting between them could be but a barren reminder of the past, revitalising the dull ache of longing into a quick and overmastering agony, and, realising this, Diana recoiled from the possibility with a fear almost bordering upon panic. She achieved a certain feeling of security in the fact that she had made her home with Baroni and his sister.
