Well, I'm glad o' that, for I felt as it took off a bit of the washer-womany, night-gowny idea. Then you think I shall do, Ben Eddin?" Frank nodded approval. "Hah! Makes a man feel a deal better.
"Hadn't you better rouse up now, sir?" said a familiar voice; but Frank, after his long and painful vigil, was unable to grasp the meaning of the words, far more to move. "Mr Frank, sir I mean, Ben Ben Eddin. Humph! what an idiot I am!" came softly out of the gloom.
The principal part of the early training of Schamyl consisted in daily practising the games and warlike exercises of his countrymen; but there was besides the important teaching received from Dschelal Eddin.
Nasr Eddin Efendi had an old ox which had exceedingly great horns, and so far apart, that it was possible for a person to sit between them. Every time that the ox drew nigh the Cogia was in the habit of saying to himself, 'How I should like to sit between his horns, and calculating as to the possibility of doing so. One day the ox came and laid himself down before the house.
Frank gave his companion the asked-for steady look, and smilingly laid his hand upon his breast. "Thankye, Ben Eddin. You always were a pleasant gentleman that it was a treat to have staying at Wimpole Street. Wimpole Street! Ha, ha, ha!" said Sam, laughing softly. "My word! how comic it does seem. What would they say in Wimpole Street if they could "
"Hasten, Ben Eddin," whispered the Sheikh, and the young man's camel made step for step with that of the Sheikh; but before Frank's eyes quitted those of the slave-driver the man said something fiercely, raised his whip, and was in the act of striking at the young Englishman when there was a plunge, a bound, and the leader of the Emir's guard had driven his beautiful Arab horse against the flank of the driver's camel, sending the poor beast staggering against the mud house to the left and nearly dismounting the rider.
"Yes, Ben Eddin, perhaps before we had gone a quarter of a day's journey. We should certainly be pursued and brought back, or perhaps," he added solemnly, "not brought back only the Hakim." There was a few minutes' silence, and then the old man turned to Frank. "I hurried back, Ben Eddin," he said, "because I feared that you would go out." "Yes, I am going," said Frank quietly.
Once as Nasr Eddin Efendi was walking in Belgrade he cried out, 'O Lord! give me a thousand altoons, but if one be wanting I will not take the rest. Now these words of the Cogia were heard by a neighbour of his, a Jew, who, in order to try the Cogia, put nine hundred and ninety-nine altoons into a purse and flung it down the Cogia's chimney.
One day Cogia Nasr Eddin Efendi, as he was winding the muslin of his turban, perceived that it was not long enough; he again tried all he could to bring it to a point, but in vain. The Cogia in great distress took the muslin, and going to the public mart, put it up to auction. Whilst it was being bid for, a person came and bought it.
Yes, it will come right after all. I never thought anyone could get through so much business with a few nods and shakes of the head. Beg pardon, sir. Hullo, that's a shake! I'm doing wrong. It takes a bit of time. You nod. So it does, sir I mean Mr Ben. What's that wrong? Why, what have I said? I know: it's the `mister. Thought so. Ben, then, or Ben Eddin. I shall get it soon.
