The gentlest animal will be audacious when it has young ones, even the dove becomes savage when it is hatching its fledgelings. Halil put his wife into a covered boat, which was soon flying along under the impulse of his muscular arms. The child rejoiced aloud at the rocking of the boat, he fancied it was the motion of his cradle.
At her husband's feet, right in front of them, stood three baskets full of flowers. Halil had given them to her as a present. But at the bottom of the baskets were still more precious gifts. He draws forward the first basket and sweeps away the flowers. A bloody head is at the bottom of the basket. "Whose is that?" Gül-Bejáze, all shuddering, lisped the name of Abdi Pasha.
Any smaller groups they might happen to meet were swept along with them. Now and then they encountered the harems of the greatest dignitaries, such as pashas and beglerbegs. It was all one, the august and exalted ladies had also to follow in the suite of the wife of Halil Patrona, the most powerful man in the realm, whose wife was the gentlest lady under Heaven.
"And the third?" "Damad Ibrahim, the Grand Vizier. His body we flung out into the piazza in front of the Seraglio, at the foot of the very fountains which he himself caused to be built." Halil Patrona cast a searching look at the Sheik's face, and coldly replied: "Know then, oh, Sheik Suleiman, that thou liest, the third corpse was not the body of Damad Ibrahim the Grand Vizier.
She dozes away now and then, but the warm throb-throb of the strong heart which makes her husband's breast to rise and fall continually arouses her again. Halil Patrona is reading in a big clasped book beautifully written in the ornamental Talik script.
The Turks intended to send a splendid embassy to Petersburg, and Halil Pasha, once the slave of the Seraskier, now the Sultan's son-in-law, was to have been the ambassador. He is their least officer. However, Diebitch tells them they must not send it till they have the Emperor's consent. The Turks have ready the first 100,000 ducats, to get the Russians out of Adrianople.
Frequently he would creep closer to her, creep so near that his lips would almost touch her face; but then he would throw back his head again, and if at such times the slave-girl half awoke from her slumbers, he would beckon to her to go to sleep again nobody should disturb her. Halil did not trouble his head in the least about all this gossip.
He had not sufficient strength of mind to endure the gaze of the Sultan till Sulali should return. Far rather would he go with him also to the rebels. Besides they already understood each other very well. The envoys found Halil sitting under his tent in the Etmeidan. Sulali drew near to him and delivered the message of the Sultan. But he did not deliver it in the words of Achmed.
Among them were Kaplan Giraj, a kinsman of the Khan of the Crimea, Musli, old Vuodi, Mohammed the dervish, and Sulali. Sulali wrote down what Halil said. "Mussulmans. Yesterday, before the Abdestan, I was reading the book whose name is the 'Takimi Vekai." "Mashallah!" exclaimed all the Mohammedans mournfully. "In that book the overthrow of the Ottoman Empire is predicted.
"Whose is that palace, I say?" inquired Halil once more, angrily shaking his head. Then many of them understood the force of the question and exclaimed: "Thine, O Halil Patrona!"
