"Does Madame wish to see something strange and wonderful to-night?" he asked, after a moment, looking at her sideways out of the corners of his wicked eyes, which, as Domini could see, were swift to read character and mood. "I am going out riding." He looked astonished. "In the night?" "Yes. Batouch has gone to fetch the horses." Hadj's face became a mask of sulkiness.
Among them were the servants who had accompanied them upon their desert journey, and Hadj. He came forward smiling to shake hands. When she saw him Domini remembered Irena, and, forgetting that it is not etiquette to inquire after an Arab's womenfolk, she said: "Ah, Hadj, and are you happy now? How is Irena?" Hadj's face fell, and he showed his pointed teeth in a snarl.
The robes of the Arabs brushed against the skirts of Domini and Suzanne, and eyes stared at them from every side with a scrutiny that was less impudent than seriously bold. "Madame!" Hadj's thin hand was pulling Domini's sleeve. "Well, what is it?" "This is the best dancing-house. The children dance here."
She did not see Hadj's excitement or the poet's malignant satisfaction, but she, with Domini, saw a small door behind the platform open, and the stout Kabyle appear followed by a girl who was robed in gold tissue, and decorated with cascades of golden coins.
