By that time Jeremy was dressed in Feisul's clothes; and though he didn't look a bit like Feisul from a yard away, in the mist at ten yards, provided you were looking for Feisul, you'd have taken your Bible oath he was the man; for he had the gesture and mannerism copied to perfection. However, standing there wasn't going to increase the real Feisul's chance of escaping.
It is intended for use against Feisul, first by making the British suspicious of him, second by providing the French with an excuse to attack him, third by convicting him of treachery, for which he can be jailed or executed after he is caught. What do you propose to do with it, Jimgrim?" "I'm going to show it to Feisul." "Good! I, too, am on my way to see Feisul.
He followed us out of the car, saying nothing; and being recognized by the light of one dim lantern as an intimate friend of Feisul, he accomplished all that Grim could have asked of him. He was known to have been in Europe until recently.
Mabel objected. "Where's your proof that the French are jockeying this? Isn't that Feisul's seal?" "Yes, and it's his paper. But not his handwriting." "He might have dictated it, mightn't he?" "Never in those words. Feisul don't talk or write that way. The letter's a manifest forgery, as I'll prove by confronting Feisul with it.
"But it puts a date to something else on which the whole future of the Near East hangs; and that means the future of half the world, and maybe the whole of it, because about three hundred million Mohammedans are watching Feisul and will govern themselves accordingly.
They know they've given him and the Arabs a raw deal; and they seem to think the simplest way out is to blacken Feisul's character and ditch him. If the French once catch him in Damascus he's done for and the Arab cause is lost." "Why lost?" demanded Jeremy. "There are plenty more Arabs." "But only one Feisul. He's the only man who can unite them all." "I know a chance for him," said Jeremy.
Did you ever hear what they did to Napoleon at Waterloo? Seized his bridle and galloped away with him." "You mean I'm to act Lawrence again?" asked Mabel, looking deathly white. Grim nodded. "Who's cast for Feisul?" Jeremy inquired. "You are. You're the only trained stage-actor in the bunch. You're his height not unlike his figure "
Also a friend of mine." "Oh! An Amirikani? A hakim?" "No. Not a doctor. Not a man to fear. He is a friend of Feisul." "On whose word?" "Mine," Grim answered. Sidi bin Tagim nodded. He seemed willing to take Grim's word for anything. "Why did you say a Jew stabbed you?" Grim asked suddenly. "So that they might hang a Jew or two. Wallah! Are the Jews not at the bottom of all trouble?
Then: "You tell me that Feisul knows, and yet..." "Oh, I didn't tell you that," laughed Jeremy. "It was this other man who said so. I never deceived anyone; I'm an honest fellow, I am. Remember, I warned you against him when we talked in the hotel; you can't blame me. I told you he was up to mischief. I advised you to keep a careful eye on him and to look twice at his paper! Wallah!
What I say you can bet on till you've lost all your money. Here he is, spying to beat the promised-landers just had tea with Feisul and learned all the inside facts offered me a pound to come and find you, but I charged him two and got the money in advance. "You ought to pay me a commission, too, and then I'll get married if there's an honest woman left in Damascus.
