Sometimes, too, she whispers in her ear that Halil is cudgelling his brains with all sorts of great ideas, but she is not to speak about it to anyone, as that might easily cost Halil his life. Poor Halil! Long, long ago his body has crumbled into dust, Death can do him no harm now. And thus the "White Rose" grows old and grey and gradually fades away.
"Greet Halil Patrona in my name," said the Sultan, "and tell him that I will satisfy all his just demands, if he promises to dismiss his forces immediately afterwards." The Chaszeki Aga and Sulali Hassan, with the twenty bostanjis, forced their way through the thick crowd which thronged the streets till they reached the central mosque.
Halil whispered back, "why you can see for yourself that he is only an honest baltaji. Sit down, oh, worthy Mussulman," he continued, turning to the stranger, "and make one of our little party." The Berber-Bashi took him at his word.
Behind him came radiant knightly viziers and nobles, and venerable councillors in splendid apparel on gorgeous full bloods; but in front of him walked two men alone, Halil Patrona and Musli, both in plain, simple garments, with naked calves, on their heads small round turbans, and with drawn swords in their hands as is the wont of the common Janissaries when on the march.
Halil willingly complied with the petition of his guest, and accompanied him all the way to the nearest thoroughfare. When now Janaki beheld the Bosphorus, and perceived that the road from this point was familiar to him, so that he needed no further assistance, he suddenly exclaimed: "Look now, my friend! an idea has occurred to me.
They may tear my limbs to pieces, but when it comes to be recorded in the Chronicles that the rabble of Constantinople were cowards, it shall be recorded at the same time that, nevertheless, there was one man among them who could not only talk about death but could look it fairly between the eyes when it appeared before him." "Listen, Halil!
Tell me, therefore, what thou dost require of the Sultan, and if thy demands be lawful and of good report they shall be granted, provided that thou dost promise to disperse thy following." Then Halil Patrona stood up before the Sulali, and with a severe and motionless countenance answered: "Our demands are few and soon told.
I have it," he said, and sitting down on the floor at his ease, he took the list from his bosom and extending it on the floor, began reciting Halil Patrona's nominations seriatim. The Grand Vizier approved of the whole thing, he had no objection to make to anything. Musli left Janaki's elevation last of all: "He you must make Voivode of Moldavia," said he. Suddenly Kabakulak went quite deaf.
Mahmud gently stroked the head of the Sultana and said, still smiling: "Oh, Adsalis! who would ever think of plucking fruit before it is ripe?" Halil Patrona was sitting on the balcony of the palace which the Sultan and the favour of the people had bestowed upon him. The sun was about to set.
That is why Halil Patrona would have all those houses of evil luxury burnt to the ground." "May Halil Patrona live long enough to see it come to pass. This also will I report to the Sultan." "Look sharp about it then! I will wait in your room here till you come back." "You will wait here?" "Yes, never mind about me! I have given orders that my dinner is to be sent after me here.
