So Forder went to the further end of the room and sat between an old white mare and a camel. Soon a man came in, and walking over to Forder put his hand out and shook his. He sat down by him and, talking very quietly so that the others should not hear, said: "Who are you, and from where do you come?" "From Jerusalem," said Forder. "I am a Christian preacher."
"Don't go," the Chief and his people said, "the Arabs there are bad: when we go we never let our rifles out of our hands." So the old Chief told him of the dangers of the desert; death from thirst or from the fiery Arabs of Kaf. "I am trusting God to protect and keep me," said Forder. "I believe He will do so."
Forder opened his satchel and drew out an Arabic New Testament, and together they read parts of the story of the life of Jesus Christ and talked about Him till ten o'clock at night. As the headman rose to go to his own rooms Forder offered to him, and he gladly took, the copy of the New Testament in Arabic to read for himself. Saved by the Mist
"I s'pose you don't see no great of the Knowles gals?" inquired Mrs. Forder, who lived two miles away in the other direction. "They stepped to the door yisterday when I was passin' by, an' I went in an' set a spell long of 'em," replied the hostess. "They'd got pestered with that ol' loom o' theirn.
Besant had proved how a woman could take the lead of men. Nor must I forget Mr. Robert Forder, the Secretary of the National Secular Society, who acted as shopman at our publishing office, and sustained the business by his assiduity. I had also to thank Dr. Aveling for his interim editorship of the Freethinker, and the admirable manner in which he had conducted Progress.
"That is the house," said a voice, "where Forder lives, who was shot by Walter Radnor. The murder took place just behind this wall." "Did it really?" queried a second voice. "I suppose Radnor is rather an anxious man this week." "Oh," said the first, "he has doubtless been anxious enough all along." "True. But still if Forder lives the week out, Radnor will escape the gallows.
The camels were rushed together in a group: the men of Ithera fired on the robbers and went after them. After a short, sharp battle the robbers made off and the men settled down where they were for the night, during which they had to beat off another attack by the robbers. Forder said, "What brave fellows you are!"
Forder, with a calmness that astonished the two men, who knew the state of excitement she had laboured under for a long time past. "I thank you. I think it is better that I should know." All the afternoon she sat by the bedside of her insensible and scarcely breathing husband. His face was wasted to a shadow from his long contest with death.
Forder had not a word to say, and the others were worse, for Cheviot thought Queen Elizabeth's Earl of Leicester was Simon de Montfort; and didn't know when that battle was, beginning with an E. was it Evesham, or Edgehill?" "O Harry, you are as bad yourself?" "But any one would know Leicester, because of Kenilworth," said Harry; "and I'm not sixth form. If papa had but been there!
"Secondly," he said to Johar, "which do you think it best to do, to please God or to please man?" "To please God," said the Chief. "Johar," said Forder, "I am just like you; I cannot change my religion, not if you cut off two heads; and I must please God by remaining a Christian.... I cannot do what you ask me. It is impossible." Johar rose up and went out much displeased. "Kill the Christian!"
