Some of the early visitors they were Easterns had quite surrounded the case. They were watched, of course, but any number of Orientals come to see the thing; and, short of smashing the glass, which would immediately attract attention, the authorities were unprepared, of course, for any attempt. Anyway, they were tricked. Somebody opened the case. The real slipper of the Prophet is gone!"
As to this I pointed out again that not only would it involve the breaking of a solemn oath, which might bring the curse of the gods upon our cause and proclaim us traitors to the world, but it would also be foolish since Idernes was not the only general of the Easterns and if we cut off him and his escort, it would avail us little for then the rest of the Easterns would fight in a just cause.
And, with all the blood of countless centuries of Eastern races coursing in my veins, and in the more or less stunned, stupified condition in which that awful night-tragedy had left me, I yielded, for the time, to the fatalism with which we Easterns are familiarized from our babyhood.
Not to be behind the inhabitants of Cathay in a tale of wonders, the knight related to these Easterns "als gret a marveylle to hem that is amonges us; and that was of the Bernakes. And here had thei als gret marvayle," concludes Sir John, "that sume of hem trowed it were an impossible thing to be."
Millicent was always so frank upon the subject of her own worthlessness. "We don't know what these people would be like if they had no Koran to curb them," Millicent said. "It may do more than you think. It's a strong bearing-rein." "That's true. The Egyptians are, I suppose, about the most sensual of all Easterns the women are considered so, at any rate, by Lane, and he knew them intimately."
'While he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father' at the critical age of sixteen, when Easterns are older than we, in the flush of early manhood, he awoke to deeper experiences and felt the need for a closer touch of God.
Like all Easterns, Malays are most dilatory, and time hung very heavily on Brooke's hands at Kuching. Loading the Royalist's guns, and bringing them to bear, he went ashore with an armed party to the Raja's palace, and at once pointed out to him Pangeran Makota's treachery.
Then up we sprang and loosed again, and again fell down, whereon the second line once more poured in its deadly hail. Now the Easterns stayed their advance, for their front ranks lay prone, and those behind must climb over them if they could. Yes, standing there in glittering groups they rocked and hesitated although their officers struck them with swords and lances to drive them forward.
The Yerandawana people were thankful to be rid of them, and assured me that the Guru's assertion that he never took meat was not true; as also another of his assertions, that they never worshipped idols, because they carried one about with them and the old Guru worshipped it daily. Exaggerated statements about widows. Easterns naturally demonstrative in their grief. The conservative widow.
Europeans, seeing the left breast conspicuously feminine, have indulged in silly surmises about the "Amazons." And as Easterns sit on carpets, their falling back is very different from the same movement off a chair. "Ismid," the eye-powder before noticed. "Shaib al-inghaz"=lit. a gray beard who shakes head in disapproval. "Ayat" = the Hebr. "Ototh," signs, wonders or Koranic verses.
