A sepoy's position is a smaller stake than a major's commission or a gold-mine, but I likewise have a life to lose, and I play too!" Grim nodded curtly. It was no time for returning compliments. "How about you, Mabel? We can manage this without you, and you've a husband to think of " "If he were here he'd hate it, but he'd give permission." "All right. Now, Hadad. What about it?"
What I have devised is this. Thou seest my slave Hadad? 'I see him an Ethiopian. 'So he seems to thee. But his skin is white as thine. By an art, known only to me, it has been changed to this ebon hue. 'What follows? 'This. Thou art to take his place, thy skin being first made to resemble his, while he is cleansed, and remains in Ecbatana.
Rimmon or Hadad, the god of the air, whom the Syrians identified with the Sun-god, Nebo, the god of prophecy, the interpreter of the will of Bel-Merodach, Anu, the god of the sky, and Anat, his consort, all alike meet us in the names sometimes of places, sometimes of persons. Mr. Tomkins is probably right in seeing even in Beth-lehem the name of the primeval Chaldæan deity Lakhmu.
In the Edomite kingdom, Samlah was succeeded by Saul of Pethor, a youth of surpassing beauty, whose reign lasted forty years. His successor upon the throne was Baal Hamon, king for thirty-eight years, during which period the Moabites rose up against the Edomites, to whom they had been paying tribute since the time of Hadad, and they succeeded in throwing off the yoke of the stranger.
And he threw off disappointment like a man dismissed it as a rock sheds water, coming forward briskly to shake hands with Grim and bowing as Grim introduced us. "At least here are two good friends," he said in Arabic, sitting down between Grim and Hadad. "Tell me what this means, and why you deceived us about Lawrence." "We've something to show you," Grim answered. "Mrs.
I point them to the scene in the Old Testament where Hadad said unto Pharaoh, "Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country." Then Pharaoh said unto him, "But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country?" And he answered, "Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise." So it is with me. India has given me the best of good times.
The Midianites seem to have continued in occupation of Moabite territory for several generations. Reuben was enabled to pasture his flocks in peace in its valleys, and it is probable that it was not till Hadad, the King of Edom, "smote Midian in the plain of Moab" that Midianitish supremacy came finally to an end.
Mabel had a viewpoint that served Grim's purpose as well as any at the moment. "That man's too good, and much too good-looking to be wasted!" she said emphatically. "D'you suppose that if Colonel Lawrence were really here " "Half a minute," said Grim, "and I'll come to that. How about you, Hadad? How far would you go to save Feisul from this Waterloo?"
The British will give him Mesopotamia, and after that it will be up to us Arabs to prove we are a nation. That is my argument. Are we agreed?" "If that's your plan, Hadad, I'm with you!" Grim answered. "Then I also am with you! Let us shake hands." "Shwai shwai!" "Better join up with me in Damascus. There are six men in the car ahead who'll try to murder us all presently.
Following his directions, and accompanied by Hadad, I was received, at the specified place, by a slave of the palace, who conducted me to Piso's presence.
