In his father's cool fountain-room he could breathe more freely; but only for a moment. The blood faded from his cheeks, and he had to make a strong effort to greet his father calmly and in his usual manner; for in front of the divan where the governor commonly reclined, lay the Persian hanging, and close by stood his mother and the Arab merchant.

Do you know, something very particular had been going on in the fountain-room; and as they all came out again I crept behind Orion into the tablinum there are such wonderful things there, and I wanted just to frighten him a little; we have often played games together before.
