Go; get yourself better instructed in the meaning of the Koran." He was a thorough Corsair, with the rough code of honour, as well as the unprincipled rascality of the sea-rover. Capt. John Braithwaite's History of the Revolutions in Morocco includes a journal of events and observations made during Mr. Russell's mission in 1728. Salē is described at pp. 343 ff.
Tabs dismissed the subject as unworthy of further discussing. "She went to Gloucester to hurry off a telegram of congratulation. Braithwaite's had a stroke of luck." "If that is all," Lady Dawn smiled mischievously, "I wonder that she didn't come back in the car. A telegram can be dispatched in five minutes."
I may have become more pitiful; but I've not become converted, if by that you mean that I condone what these two people have done. I still think that Mrs. Lockwood's conduct with Adair was inexcusable and that Braithwaite's holding back the truth from you was dishonorable.
It was Miss Braithwaite's conviction that this prank, and several other things, such as sauntering about with his hands in his pockets, and referring to his hat as a "lid," were all the result of his meeting that American boy. "He is really not the same child," she finished. "Oskar found him the other day with a rolled-up piece of paper lighted at the end, pretending he was smoking."
For the one day the sentence of exile was to be removed so that he might lunch with the King, and he was to have strawberry jam with his tea, some that Miss Braithwaite's sister had sent from England. But to offset all this, he was to receive a delegation of citizens. He had been well drilled for it.
Braithwaite's past is his own secret. But I can pledge you my word that it bears no stain." "Then why shouldn't he ?" She changed her question. "Shall you meet him to-day at lunch?" "Yes." "Shall you tell him what we've ?" "Not all of it, Terry." "Why not all of it? Which part are you going to leave out?" He came again to where she sat and stood gazing down on her.
To be unwisely frank, my financial resources are limited to little more than my war-gratuity." "And yet you're anxious to marry Terry," Tabs suggested; "to marry her without letting her know about any of these handicaps of which she would have to share the penalty." Braithwaite's head went up with a soldierly jerk. The bleak look came into his eyes. He was "Steely Jack" at that moment.
"I think you are a very good doctor," he said, smiling, and went out to Miss Braithwaite's sitting room. It was then that Olga Loschek played the last card, and won. She moved quickly to Nikky's side. "I have a message for you," she said. A light leaped into Nikky's eyes. "For me?" "Do you know where my boudoir is?" "I yes, Countess."
Braithwaite's work, but being so near, I can spend every spare minute with you that is, if you want me," she added shyly. "Want you, child!"
Now that I look back, I'm sure she's known everything from the start and has seen this coming. We can get Braithwaite's address from her; when we know that, we shall have laid our hands on Terry." While he had been speaking, Lady Dawn had been rummaging through her desk. He went and bent over her, his hands on her shoulders. She was fingering a time-table.
