"Go upon thy business. Dost thou not desire the blood of Achmet and the bridge-opener?" Mahommed laughed, and joyfully beat his breast, with whispered exclamations, and made ready to go. "And thou?" he asked. "Am I not welcome here?" she replied wearily. "O, my sister, thou art the master of my life and all that I have," he exclaimed, and a moment afterwards he was speeding towards Kaid's Palace.
Whereupon David turned his head away, but after a moment fixed his eyes on Achmet. Kaid motioned all his startled guests to come nearer. Then in strong, unmerciful voice he laid Achmet's crime before them, and told the story of the bridge-opener, who had that day expiated his crime in the desert by the hands of Mahommed but not with torture, as Mahommed had hoped might be.
"Thy witness and his shall send Achmet to a hell of scorpions, and I shall slay the bridge-opener with my own hand hath not the Effendina secretly said so to me, knowing that my Pasha, the Inglesi, upon whom be peace for ever and forever, would forgive him. Ah, thou blossom of the tree of trees " She rose hastily, and when he would have kissed her hand she drew back to the wall.
Mahommed Hassan had vowed a vow in the river, and he kept it in so far as was seemly. His soul hungered for the face of the bridge-opener, and the hunger grew.
Thou wouldst do justice, O Effendina; but canst thou do double justice ay, a thousandfold? Then" his voice raised almost shrilly "then do it upon Achmet Pasha. She Zaida told me where I should find the bridge-opener." "Zaida once more!" Kaid murmured. "She had learned all in Achmet's harem hearing speech between Achmet and the man whom thou didst deliver to my hands yesterday."
Here was a plot, and he had discovered more plots than one against his master. The bridge-opener when he found him he would take him into the desert and flay him alive; and find him he would. His watchful eyes were on the hut by the bridge where this man should be. No one was visible.
