I sent Malluch to find out for me, and in the service he was my eyes and ears. Do not blame him. He brought me report of you which was all good." "I do not," said Ben-Hur, heartily. "There was wisdom in your goodness." "The words are very pleasant to me," said the merchant, with feeling, "very pleasant. My fear of misunderstanding is laid. Let the rivers run on now as God may give them direction."
And the people not on duty slept, Arrius in his place, the marines on the floor. Once twice Ben-Hur was relieved; but he could not sleep. Three years of night, and through the darkness a sunbeam at last! At sea adrift and lost, and now land! Dead so long, and, lo! the thrill and stir of resurrection. Sleep was not for such an hour.
The words, the manner, the singular personality of the simple prayer, touched Ben-Hur with a sensation new and abiding.
Ben-Hur was speaking. "I will give you," he said, "an order for my property stored in the khan this side the river by the Seleucian Bridge. Bring it to me to-day, if you can. And, good Malluch if I do not overtask you " Malluch protested heartily his willingness to be of service. "Thank you, Malluch, thank you," said Ben-Hur.
What should such dainty natures do under such indignity but leap as from death? Forward they sprang as with one impulse, and forward leaped the car. Past question, every experience is serviceable to us. Where got Ben-Hur the large hand and mighty grip which helped him now so well? Where but from the oar with which so long he fought the sea?
"Would it please you to accompany her upon the lake?" "I will carry the answer myself. Tell her so." His shoes were brought him, and in a few minutes Ben-Hur sallied out to find the fair Egyptian. The shadow of the mountains was creeping over the Orchard of Palms in advance of night.
So if it could be found who he was the business in hand might be shrewdly guessed. With great assurance, Ben-Hur fell in on the right of the priest, and walked along with him. Now if the man would lift his head! And presently he did so, letting the light of the lanterns strike full in his face, pale, dazed, pinched with dread; the beard roughed; the eyes filmy, sunken, and despairing.
Thy Cato and Brutus were as little children compared to the Hebrew whose law a Jew must obey." "But my request. Hast " "Thy command would be of more weight, and that would not move me. I have said." Both became silent, waiting. Ben-Hur looked often at the coming ship. Arrius rested with closed eyes, indifferent. "Art thou sure she is an enemy?" Ben-Hur asked. "I think so," was the reply.
For the accommodation of spectators, and such as had interests reaching forward of the mere practise, there were several stands shaded by substantial awnings, and provided with seats in rising rows. In one of the stands the two new-comers found places. Ben-Hur counted the chariots as they went by nine in all. "I commend the fellows," he said, with good-will.
Through the great northern gate the rider rode, and lo! Jerusalem before the fall, in ripeness of glory, illuminated for the Lord. Ben-Hur alighted at the gate of the khan from which the three Wise Men more than thirty years before departed, going down to Bethlehem.
