"'Deed, I doan' know, suh," said Mesrour finally. "He never done tole me." Though Mr. Middleton called three times during the next week, he did not find the emir in.
Unfortunately I have no Frank clothes except the one suit I wear daily. But of the costumes of my native land, I have abundant store, and as we are of the same stature, I beg you will make me happy by accepting one." Speaking some words to Mesrour in the language of Arabia, the blackamore brought in and proceeded to invest Mr.
The blackamore was dressed in crimson silk sparkling with an array of gold lace, but his immense turban was snowy white. Against his shoulder reposed a great glittering scimetar and a dozen silver-mounted pistols and poniards were thrust in his sash. Presently the young man removed the golden mouth-piece of the narghileh from his lips and regarding Mr.
‘Thus hath your Majesty now a view, in umbra, of those detestable thoughts which afterwards appeared in facto, according to the said Earl’s own mot. For what other sense or allusion can the reaching at a crown with a sword in a stretched posture, and the impersonating of his device in a blackamore, yield to any intelligent and honest beholder?’
