The Turks in Paradise will take no heed of your document, and either will not recognize the authority of the Imam, or will not let the Jews enter therein. "Effendim, what could I do but come back and sell the document to men who could enter Paradise, and this I did."
"There is the Persian ambassador, Effendim," he said, with a sudden revival of hope. "What can he do?" asked the count. "He is lord over all the donkey-drivers in Stamboul, Effendim. The Sultan allows him to exact tribute of them, which is the most part of his fortune. Perhaps if he gave orders that they should all be beaten unless they found Alexander Effendi, they would find him.
"You effendim make your escape! The Turks will surely seek to be revenged on you. I will show you a way across the mountains into Persia." "And you?" I asked. "Into hiding!" he answered grimly. "Maga little Maga, she shall come with me, and teach me more about the earth and sky and wind and water! Perhaps at last some day she shall make me no, never a king, but a sportman."
How much did the document cost you and what did you sell it for?" "Effendim, it cost me two hundred piasters, and I sold it for two hundred piasters." This statement having been proved by producing the deed in question, and the tithe-collector who had given it to the Imam for two hundred piasters, the Jew was acquitted.
Unless he is injured or imprisoned somewhere, he ought to find his way to Pera to-day." "Effendim, he may have strayed into the dark streets. If the bekji found him without a lantern, he would be arrested, according to the law." "He had our lantern," said Paul. "We could not find it." "That is true," answered the kaváss, in dejected tones.
She walked over to him, and he put his arm around her waist, looking up from his seat into her face as if studying it almost for the first time. She began running her fingers through his hair. "Is she not beautiful?" he asked us naively. Then, not waiting for an answer: "She is my wife, effendim. You would not have me be revengeful not toward my wife, I think?" "Your wife?
He appalled me; and now, with my back to the door, I stood watching him and watching the ominous black tube which he held in his hand. It was a weapon unknown to Europe and therefore more fearful than the most up-to-date of death-dealing instruments. Hassan of Aleppo pointed it toward me. "The keys, effendim," he said; "hand me the keys!" He advanced a step; his manner was imperious.
The visitor thrust his way in, past the white-clad man holding out his arms to detain him. "Not at home, effendim " Dr. Cairn shot out a sinewy hand, grabbed the man he was a tall fellahîn by the shoulder, and sent him spinning across the mosaic floor of the mandarah. The air was heavy with the perfume of ambergris. Wasting no word upon the reeling man, Dr. Cairn stepped to the doorway.
Secure one, leaving the other with him who holds it! Let him swear to be secret. This shall be the price of his life!" The black tube was pointed directly at my forehead. "Effendim," concluded the speaker, "place in my hand the key of the case in the Antiquarian Museum!" Hands convulsively clenched, the girl was looking from me to Hassan. My throat felt parched, but I forced speech to my lips.
Tell these Eenglis sportman, then, that I am good man good guide! Tell them they come with me to Zeitoon!" The consul's face darkened swiftly, clouded by some notion that he seemed to try to dismiss, but that refused to leave him. "How much would you ask for your services?" he demanded. "Whatever the effendim please." "Have you a horse?" He nodded.
