"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.
But there was another concerned a girl, but a child in years, as innocent and true a being as God has ever set among the dangers of this life, and, by her very innocence and unsuspecting nature, so much more in peril before such unscrupulous wiles as were used by Foorgat Bey.
Then think that I hid the deed for one who was a stranger to me, whose life must ever lay far from mine, and see clearly that I did it for a woman's sake, and not for this woman's sake; for I had never seen her till the moment I struck Foorgat Bey into silence and the tomb. Will you not understand, Nahoum? "Yonder, I see the tribes that harry me.

As David, dismounting, stood with dripping sword in his hand, in imagination, he heard the voice of Kaid say to him, as it said that night when he killed Foorgat Bey: "Hast thou never killed a man?" For an instant it blinded him, then he was conscious that, on the ground at his feet, lay one of the Three Pashas who were to die at sunset. It was sunset now, and the man was dead.
He had a gift for scenting treason and he had treasure." His eyes shut and opened again with a look not pleasant to see. "But since it was that he must die so soon, then the loan he promised must now be a gift from the dead, if he be dead, if he be not shamming. Foorgat was a dire jester." "But now it is no jest, Effendina. He is in his grave." "In his grave! Bismillah!
Eglington offered to introduce David to some notable people, but he said that he must go he was fatigued after his journey. He had no wish to be lionised. As he left the salon, the band was playing a tune that made him close his eyes, as though against something he would not see. The band in Kaid's Palace had played it that night when he had killed Foorgat Bey.
