Why should he not find his way to the Valley of Gold, by the blessing of the All Powerful? Did not his vision of the place, and the strange concatenation of chances which had led him on to the adventure, seem to indicate that he was destined to find it? Even if he failed, the Emîr, he told himself, would have had a pleasant outing, and could not in the nature of things be very angry.
"Our liberty," said the Hakim sternly. "My people have been stopped three times when they tried to leave the gate." "Yes, O Hakim; it was the order given by the Emir to his servant, the guard." "Then tell the guard what I say. The confinement here is too great." "There is the garden beneath the trees, Excellency," said the Sheikh. "Yes, but we wish to see the town to go where we will."
It was a crucial position for the doctor, but he played his part with the greatest dignity, while the Emir stood near as if in perfect confidence as to his friend's powers, and the son glanced at Frank with a malicious look in his dark eyes, which he turned directly half-mockingly at the Mullahs. The Hakim bowed haughtily to his Soudanese confreres, and then turned to the Sheikh.
"It has been a great day," said Tancred to Fakredeen, as they were sitting some months afterwards in the castle of the young emir of Lebanon, where all the princes of Syria had assembled to discuss the foundation of the new empire. "If your friends will only work together as they promise, Syria is ours."
However, he would not be balked; he stood up and, through the din, he shouted at the little man: “Baba Barbulah, I tell you he is the Messiah!” His voice was so loud it dominated the hubbub, and suddenly the hubbub ceased. From the dais Pontius Pilate listened indifferently. Antipas held his hands behind his ears that he might hear the better. The emir paid no attention at all.
Hiring a house next to that occupied by my husband's uncle, the Emir Bargash ibn Beynin, we have resided there now nearly a year, in the greatest contentment and happiness, and constantly visited by the Emir, who has always professed to be extremely pleased with our society.
"But who is this chief, Emir, or whatever he is?" said the professor, stopping before the doctor and Frank suddenly. "I've never heard of him before." "I know nothing about him whatever, only what I have told you. He is some friend of the Emir's son, and of course belongs to their party." "I suppose so," said the professor excitedly. "Well, it all seems simple enough now, Robert, my son.
"By imitating what they have seen in the troops sent against them," said the doctor, as he sat listening intently to the sounds from without. "By the help of renegades," said Harry bitterly. "I might have been one of the Mahdi's generals an Emir, by now, if I would have taken some of the troops in hand. I had offers enough, and of course it meant becoming a follower of Mahomet."
And I desire that you yourself attend me at the palace three times a week at least, that I may have the benefit of your conversation and counsel." The blind fisherman, now a rich Emir and a prime favourite with the Caliph, saluted his sovereign and was silent. The Caliph and Abdurrahman.
While writing, the Emir was variously moved; one instant, his countenance was deeply flushed, and in the next very pale; sometimes his hand trembled. Mahommed meantime kept close watch upon him, and now he asked: "What ails thee?" "My Lord's will is my will," was the answer "yet" "Out speak out." "My Lord is sending me from him, and I dread losing my place at his right hand."
