For Christians to enter this inclosure, it is necessary to notify their consul and secure the service of his cavasse, an armed guard, and a Turkish soldier, both of whom must be paid for their services.
The extra horse involved the addition of its owner, a small suspicious Latin Christian, to the company, and of another horse for him and an ugly almost hairless boy attendant. Moreover the British consul prevailed with Benham to accept the services of a picturesque Arnaut CAVASSE, complete with a rifle, knives, and other implements and the name of Giorgio.
Then one by one they stood up and went softly to the ladder that led to the stable-room below. Benham struck a second match and a third. "Giorgio!" he called. The cavasse made an arresting gesture and followed discreetly and noiselessly after the others, leaving Benham alone in the dark.
