'I can do nothing, said Baroni, returning; 'there is something in all this which I do not understand. It has never happened in my time. 'There is, then, but one course to be taken, said Tancred; 'we must charge through the defile. At any rate we shall have the satisfaction of dying like men. Let us each fix on our opponent.
It was Baroni who had made the arrangement with Sheikh Hassan. Baroni had long known him as a brave and faithful Arab.
Something in the tense excitement of his whispering tones struck an answering chord within Diana, and oblivious for the moment of all else except Delilah's passionate thirst for vengeance, she sang with her whole soul, so that when she ceased, Baroni, in a sudden access of artistic fervour, leapt from his seat and embraced her rapturously. "Well done!
'Yes; I have been at Damascus several times since I travelled with M. de Sidonia, and I have sometimes smoked a nargileh with this man: his name is Dar-kush, and he deals in drugs. Now this was the reason that induced Tancred to inquire of Baroni respecting the Ansarey.
He moved and let Baroni rise; shaken and bruised, but otherwise little seriously hurt, and still holding, in a tenacious grasp, the crumpled paper. He rang; his own servant answered the summons. "Go to the Stephanien and inquire for Mr. Cecil. Be quick; and request him, wherever he be, to be so good as to come to me instantly here."
Was it, indeed, sleep? Baroni touched his wrist, but could find no pulse; Fakredeen held his bright dagger over the mouth, yet its brilliancy was not for a moment clouded. But he was not cold. The brow of Baroni was knit with deep thought, and his searching eye fixed upon the recumbent form; Fakredeen, frightened, ran away to Eva.
Baroni made a quick movement toward him. "An instant, my lord! This intimately concerns yourself. The steps of an hotel are surely not the place in which to speak of it?" "I wish to hear nothing about it," replied Rock, putting him aside; while he thought to himself regretfully, "That is 'stiff, that bit of paper; perhaps some poor wretch is in a scrape.
'Heigho! said Tancred, stretching his arm, and half-speaking to himself, 'I wish the battle of Gindarics had never ceased, but that, like some hero of enchantment, I had gone on for ever fighting. 'Ah! there is nothing like action, said Baroni, unscrewing his pistols. 'But what action is there in this world? said Tancred. 'The most energetic men in Europe are mere busybodies.
Why should the mere mention of Max's name have roused the old maestro to such a fever of indignation? Presently Baroni turned to her again, speaking more composedly, although little sparks of anger still flickered in his eyes ready to leap into flame at the slightest provocation. "I haf met Mr. Errington. He is a charming man.
'Also in all truly fine verses there should be palm trees and fresh springs. Tancred, to whom Baroni had conveyed the meaning of the verses, was also pleased; having observed that, on a previous occasion, the great Sheikh had rewarded the bard, Tancred ventured to take a chain, which he fortunately chanced to wear, from, his neck, and sent it to the poet of Eva.
