An Effendi took the watch yesterday to show it to Vartan, the jeweler. He is a friend of yours, Effendim; you first brought him here a long time ago. His name is a strange name, Cricks, a very strange name, like the creaking of an ungreased cart-wheel." "Oh, did he take the watch? I will speak to him about it. He will pay you immediately. How did the Lala come to have a watch to sell?"
With the most innocent look possible, the Jew replied, when the Cadis asked him what he had to say for himself: "Effendim, it is needless to say how I appreciate the kindness of our Imam, but the reason that I disposed of that valuable document was this: When I went to Paradise I found a seat, and measured out my two hundred yards, and took possession of the further inside end of the bench.
"Wait in the carriage, Effendim," said the kaváss, once more descending from his seat. "If he is inside I will find him. I will search the galleries again. He cannot have gone through the vestibule."
"I went all through the crowd, and searched everywhere. I asked many persons. They laughed at the idea of a Frank gentleman in a hat appearing amongst them. He must have gone out into the street." "We searched the gallery thoroughly, did we not?" asked Paul. "Are you sure he could not have been hidden somewhere?" "Perfectly, Effendim. He is not there."
Mahmoud Bey began the overture that very instant with artillery fire directed at the hidden defenses flanking the clay ramp. Next we caught the stuttering chorus of his machine guns, and the intermittent answer of Kagig's riflemen. "Now, effendim, one of you down to the defenses, please! There is risk my men may use too many cartridges. Talk to them restrain them.
"I wonder whether there is any truth in what you say!" she exclaimed, in a voice broken with the pain she would not confess. "It is useless to deny it," answered Balsamides. "The Khanum Effendim is already suffering." "No, I am not!" she said between her teeth. But the perspiration trickled down her hollow cheeks.
