"Thou hast asked his life take it; it is thine; but if I find him within these walls again until I give him leave, he shall go as Foorgat went." "What was the manner of Foorgat's going?" asked David quietly. "As a wind blows through a court-yard, and the lamp goes out, so he went in the night. Who can say? Wherefore speculate? He is gone. It is enough.
Can you not see that he tried to make compensation for Foorgat's death, by giving you your life and setting you where you are now, with power to save or kill him?" "You call him great; yet I am here in safety, and he is where he is. Have you not heard of the strife of minds and wills? He represented the West, I the East.
She could not feel sorry she had said it, yet she must remove the impression if possible. "What Claridge Pasha did, any man would have done, Excellency. He struck, and death was an accident. Foorgat's temple struck the corner of a pedestal. "His death was instant. He would have killed Claridge Pasha if it had been possible he tried to do so.
Allah scorch thine eyes!" he added fiercely to Achmet, "but thou shalt find this Christian gentleman, Nahoum." Suddenly, with a motion of disgust, he sat down, and taking the stem of the narghileh, puffed vigorously in silence.

The banks hold Foorgat's fortune against us, Effendina." "Foorgat had turned Mahommedan. Nahoum is a Christian. My will is law. Shall a Christian dog inherit from a true believer? The courts, the Wakfs shall obey me. And thou, son of a burnt father, shalt find Nahoum! Kaid shall not be cheated. Foorgat pledged the loan. It is mine.
"He would give up all that is his?" "It is so, Effendina." "All save Foorgat's heritage?" "It belonged to their father. It is a due inheritance." Kaid laughed sarcastically. "It was got in Mehemet Ali's service." "Nathless, it is a heritage, Effendina.
Swiftly Nahoum told him the whole truth even to the picture of the brougham, and the rigid, upright figure passing through the night to Foorgat's palace, the gaunt Mizraim piloting the equipage of death. "I have held my peace for my own reasons, effendi. Wilt thou then force me to speak? If thou dost still cherish Claridge Pasha, wilt thou see him ruined?

The key is in Foorgat's pocket, no doubt; stolen by him, no doubt also.... This is my design.
