If the Roman church had partly ceased to be a Greek colony in the Latin capital, it was still the connecting link of East and West, the representative of Western Christianity to the Easterns, and the interpreter of Eastern to the Latin West. Liberius could therefore treat almost on the footing of an independent sovereign. He would not condemn Athanasius unheard, and after so many acquittals.
He ran direct to the stable, and, choosing the fleetest of the Moor's Arab steeds, quickly put on its crimson saddle, with its un-European peaks before and behind, and the other gay portions of harness with which Easterns are wont to caparison their horses. In a wonderfully short space of time he had the steed round to the front door, and sent another slave to tell his master that it was ready.
The trouble is at home this time, and as poor Nehemiah listens to the dismal noise, and as he tries to still the shrill cries, that his voice may be heard, and as he watches the people rocking to and fro, as Easterns do when moved by sorrow, he may well feel downcast and disappointed, for a city divided against itself cannot stand, and as Nehemiah listens to the cry, he clearly sees that, at that moment, Jerusalem, the city he loves best on earth, is indeed a divided city.
Before we reached it we found some peasant folk labouring in their gardens and I heard one of them call to another, "Here come more of the Easterns. What is toward, think you, neighbour?" "I do not know," answered the other, "but when I passed down the canal this morning, I saw a body of the Great King's guards gathering from the fort.
And these Easterns were almost motionless, and seemed to be sunk in dreams. "Why did you bring me here?" asked Isaacson. "It bores you?" "No. But I want to know why you chose this café out of all the cafés of Cairo." "It's a very old and, among Easterns, very famous resort of smokers of hashish. You notice the blackened walls, the want of light.
"Women will run even after the Chinese shadow of a man if they are not shut close behind the grilles." Mrs. Armine laughed outright. "And so you Easterns generally keep them there." "Well, and are we not wise? Are we not much wiser than the Mr. Armeens of Europe?"
The Hammam to Easterns is a luxury as well as a necessity; men sit there for hours talking chiefly of money and their prowess with the fair; and women pass half the day in it complaining of their husbands' over-amativeness and contrasting their own chaste and modest aversion to camel congress.
In these secluded pleasant spots the Easterns spend much of their time, under their own vines or fig-trees, sheltered from the world and from the oppressive heat of the sun a fit emblem of a church of Christ. In this vineyard stood a fig-tree by nature remarkable for fruitfulness but it is barren.
"Yes, Martina; but what of it?" "You are dull, Olaf. I have heard that these Easterns love music, especially if it be of a sort they do not know. Why, therefore, should not a blind man and his daughter no, his orphaned niece earn an honest living as travelling musicians in Egypt?
But Lor' bless you! there's such a lot o' foreigners in this quarter, especially Japanese and Siamese law students and medical students and such like that you'd never notice a couple of Easterns particularly and I've no doubt they wear English clothes. Now, what do you want to see this doctor for?" he asked as they halted by Dr. Mirandolet's door. "Anything to do with the matter in hand?"
