"Nay, how should I know?" said Fatimah. "We are fools," said Habeebah. It was now an hour after sunset, the light was fading, and the traffic was sinking down. Only at the gate of the Mellah, which, contrary to custom, had not yet been closed, was the throng still dense. A group of Jews stood under it in earnest and passionate talk. There was a strange and bodeful silence on every side.
And when she came and he had kissed her, bidding her farewell in silence, his heart misgave him concerning her, and, after raising his foot to the stirrup, he returned to where she stood in the patio with the two bondwomen beside her. "Is she well?" he asked. "Oh yes, well very well," said Fatimah, and Habeebah echoed her.
This evening we will call on the Princess Fatimah, the daughter of the Sultan, and tomorrow I have arranged to take you to Tapul Island to shoot wild carabao. After that " "After that," I interrupted, "we go away from here. If we stayed on in this quiet little island of yours much longer, we shouldn't have any film left for the other places."
"No, no, no!" cried Ruth. "Let her come to you and touch you and kiss you, and be with you before it is too late," said Israel. "She misses you, and fills the house with flowers for you. It breaks my heart to see her." "It will break mine also," said Ruth. But she consented that Naomi should be called, and Fatimah was sent to fetch her.
Ma'aruf, who lived at Cairo, had a shrewish wife named Fatimah who beat him, and hauled him before the Kazi because he had not been able to bring her "kunafah sweetened with bees' honey." So he fled from her, and a good-natured Marid transported him to a distant city.
"Where is she?" he cried. "Bring her, you dear, good soul. Why is she not here? Lead me to her, lead me!" Then Fatimah began to wring her hands. "Alas!" she said, weeping, "that cannot be." Israel steadied himself and waited. "She cannot come to you, and neither can you go to her." said Fatimah. "But she is well, oh! very well.
The next day after that she did not attempt to go abroad, and neither did she wander through the house, but sat in the same seat constantly, and seemed to be waiting patiently. She was pale and quiet and silent; she did not laugh according to her wont, and she had a look of submission that was very touching to see. "Now the holy saints have pity on the sweet jewel," said Fatimah.
A pretty thing, wasn't it, that he should go off, and never see his father again, no, nor Naomi Naomi that-that but God would show! God would show! And, following Ali's lead, Fatimah stepped up to Israel and offered her paper back. "Take it," she said; "I don't want any liberty. I've got liberty enough as I am.
You would hardly believe me if I told you what a lot of this greasy yellow stuff the boys and girls eat on their rice, and how much is used in an Arab kitchen. It is sold by weight, just as well as all other things, even milk in Arabia. If we wait long enough you will see Fatimah and Mirjam and the other girls come with empty bowls to buy so many pennies' worth of grease.
"Come," said Habeebah; "let us go we are not safe." "Yes," said Fatimah; "let us take the poor child back." "Come along, then," said Habeebah, and she laid hold of Naomi's hand. "Naomi, Naomi," whispered Fatimah in the girl's ear, "we are going home. Come, dearest, come." But Naomi was not to be moved. No gentle voice availed to stir her.
