Orion's maps and lists were sent to the prison early in the day, and before the child set out with her stalwart escort Gibbus had returned with the prisoner's letter to the Arab governor. On their way it was agreed that Mary should join Rustem at dusk at the riverside inn of Nesptah.
But Gibbus firmly declined the offer, saying he wished to return to his old mistress.
A glance at Gibbus told him what he had rightly feared. The poor fellow was hardly recognizable.
"You," replied Gibbus, raising his hands in entreaty. "I-oh, of course, I!" growled the physician. "Whatever is difficult, painful, intolerable, falls on my shoulders as a matter of course! But I cannot ought not I will not do it. Had I any part or lot in devising this mad expedition? You observe, Father? What he, the simpleton, brewed, I I again am to drink. Fate has settled that!"
"It is hard, it is hard, child!" replied the old man. "Still, it is your duty. Only consider if that man, as he stands before us now, were to appear before the women. . . ." But Philippus broke in: "No, no, that would not do! And you, Gibbus this very day there has been an Arab again to see Joanna; and if they were to suspect that you had been with your master for you look strangely.
The second messenger now open your ears wide it is I, I myself; but if you stand still again, you will really betray me. The long and short of it is, that as surely as I mean to save Paula, I mean to go forth to meet Amru, and if you refuse to go with me I will set out alone and try whether Gibbus the hunchback...."
You have only to talk to my hump-backed gardener Gibbus, or listen to what he says. When he is sitting with the rest of our people in an evening, they all laugh as soon as he opens his mouth. And why? Because his conformation makes him utter nothing but paradoxes. You know what they are?" "Certainly." "And you, Pul?" "No, Father."

But why has Philippus not come to take leave of me?" Dame Joanna burst into tears: "That-that is so hard too! What has come over him that he has deserted us, and just now of all times? Ah, husband! If you love me, take Gibbus with you on the voyage." "Yes, master, take me," the hunchbacked gardener interposed.
