They then advanced to Hadji Baba, and were about to seize him, when he cried out "Beware what thou doest! I am an officer of the Dey's palace and may not be treated thus with impunity." The cadi, who either did not, or pretended not, to believe the statement, replied sententiously "Justice takes no note of persons. Proceed."
The conditions were gratefully accepted, and Hadji's wife changed places with the prisoner. Poor Hadji was dumfounded, and, accompanied by his better half, left the prison, where he had expected to stay at least a year or two, saying: "Truly thou art a wonderful woman, Mashallah."
By the way, tell me, friend Hadji, before thou goest, what was the meaning of that strange request of thine the other day, and on which thou hast acted so much of late?" The story-teller turned somewhat pale, and looked anxious. Omar, who was a penurious man, had willingly agreed to this proposal, and, as he now remarked, Baba had made frequent use of the license.
The sky, which in this region is of a pale, soft, delicious blue, was dotted with scattered fleeces of white clouds, and there was an exquisite play of light and shade over the hills. There were half a dozen men and boys about the door, amusing themselves with bursting percussion caps on the stone. They addressed us as "hadji!"
"Yes, Hadji, he passed with the three European ladies you told me had been in secret to visit their friend." Then Anthony knew that Brigit and Monny had been able already to carry out their plan of wrapping Mabella Hanem in one of their own cloaks. This was well, and would save gossip, if the occupants of the arabeah were stared at by passers by.
Will you ask R- to cause inquiries to be made among the Mollahs of Cairo for a Hadji, by name Abdool Rachman, the son of Abdool Jemaalee, of Capetown, and, if possible, to get the inclosed letter sent him? The poor people are in sad anxiety for their son, of whom they have not heard for four months, and that from an old letter.
It happened that a Turk heard this prayer, and said to him: "Why so miserable, father? Has your soul been so strangled that you prefer its being dashed out of your body, to its remaining the prescribed time in bondage?" "Yes, my son," said Hadji Ahmet.
The Sultan was unable to resist and the Jannisaries returned. Thirsting to avenge the humiliation of their forced retirement they assassinated Hadji Mustafa, seized power, and to prevent a further Serb rising, fell upon the Serb villages and murdered numbers of the headmen. By so doing they precipitated what they wished to prevent.
"C'est vrai," I heard murmur in his chosen language, the Hadji, who had saved the situation. "C'etait une idee tres bien pour un duffer." Never had the Enchantress Isis looked so enchanting to my eyes as she looked that night.
A boat was now lowered from the vessel, in which the captain, who was charged with the mail from Gibraltar, the Jew secretary, and the hadji and his attendant negroes departed for the shore.
