Suffice it for you to know that, when on board the kapitan-pasha's ship, I overheard every syllable of the conversation which one day took place between the apostate Ibrahim and yourself, a conversation wherein you gave a detailed account of all your proceedings at Florence, and in the course of which you spoke feelingly of your sister Calanthe."
Here is a key; I will give the necessary instructions to the female slaves to welcome her." Constantine received the key, made a low obeisance, and withdrew, leaving the grand vizier to feast his voluptuous imagination with delicious thoughts of the beauteous Calanthe.
"Merciful Allah!" exclaimed the grand vizier; and throwing himself upon the floor, he buried his face in his hands. In another moment Calanthe was seized and gagged, before even a word or a scream could escape her lips; but Ibrahim heard the rustling of her dress as she unavailingly struggled with the monsters in whose power she was.
But now that Calanthe's countenance burst upon him in all the glory of its superb Greek beauty, that resemblance struck him with all the force of a new idea; and he was about to express his astonishment that so wondrous a likeness should subsist between brother and sister, when the maiden sunk at his feet, exclaiming, "Pardon me, great vizier; but Constantine and Calanthe are one and the same thing."
She then explained the treacherous visit of the grand vizier to the cabin wherein she had slept on board the Ottoman admiral's ship the way in which the Ethiopian slave had interfered to save her and the conversation that had taken place between Ibrahim and the negro, revealing the dread fate of Calanthe.
"Demetrius," answered Nisida, her countenance becoming ominous and somber, "you will never behold her more. The lust of Ibrahim Pasha nay, start not so violently brought destruction and death upon Calanthe!" The features of the young Greek were at first distorted with anguish, and tears started from his eyes: but in the next moment their expression changed to one denoting the fiercest rage.
