Send some one to ascertain the truth of what I tell you, and then you will believe me. But the price of my services will be high; for I told you that I wanted much." So saying, Faringhea offered a printed card to Rodin: the socius, who, out of the corner of his eye, followed all the half-caste's movements, appeared to be absorbed in thought, and taking no heed of anything.
Yes; I will be your sincere friend, and it shall be my delight to say to myself: 'The day on which I learned that my angel loved me, my happiness was great indeed for, in the morning, I had an implacable enemy, and, ere night, his hatred was changed to friendship. Believe me, Faringhea, misery makes crime, but happiness produces virtue. Be happy!" At this moment the clock struck two.
I will accompany you to this interview, and if my hopes do not deceive me, you will find you have been deluded by false appearances." When the night was come, the half-breed and Djalma, wrapped in their cloaks, got into a hackney-coach. Faringhea ordered the coachman to drive to the house inhabited by Sainte-Colombe.
This scene of murder, rapid as thought, took place in the midst of a half obscurity. Suddenly the faint light from the chamber was completely extinguished, and a second after, Djalma felt his arm seized in the darkness by an iron grasp, and the voice of Faringhea whispered: "You are avenged. Come; we can secure our retreat."
"What is that to me?" said Rodin, in a sharp voice, but hardly able to dissemble his growing anxiety. "It concerns you nearly. We sons of Bowanee have a horror of shedding blood," resumed Faringhea; "to pass the cord round the neck of our victims, we wait till they are asleep. When their sleep is not deep enough, we know how to make it deeper.
Thinking he would also make use of the sprinkling-brush, which, Faringhea, still motionless, held with a trembling hand, Father Caboccini stretched out his fingers to reach it, when the half-breed, as if determined to confine his favors to Rodin, hastily withdrew the instrument.
You are wicked, because you are no doubt unhappy. I will strive to make you happy, so that you may be good. Would you have gold? you shall have it. Would you have a friend? though you are a slave, a king's son offers you his friendship." Faringhea had refused the gold, and appeared to accept the friendship of the son of Kadja-sing.
"Oh! this woman this woman, before whom I am to tremble and who, in turn, must tremble before me where is she?" cried Djalma, with redoubled excitement. "Shall I ever find her?" "One is a good deal, my lord," replied Faringhea, with his sardonic coolness; "he who looks for one woman, will rarely succeed in this country; he who seeks women, is only at a loss to choose."
The same servant with the mild countenance, who had introduced and shown out Faringhea, here entered the room, after knocking discreetly at the door. He held in his hand a sort of game-bag, which he gave to Rodin, saying: "Here is what M. Morok has just brought; he came in by the Rue Vieille."
"I spoke of you to my master," said the half-caste; "he is preparing a surprise for you." "A surprise? oh! that is different. Only make haste do you hear, Prince Charming!" added she, looking tenderly at Djalma. "My heart is breaking," said Djalma, in a hollow voice to Faringhea, still using the language of India. "But to-morrow it will bound with joy and love," answered the half-caste.
