Yet in the midst of those forests he had seen the camp of white men. "He has seen it!" she cried, leaning forward to devour with her eyes that hideous and precious instrument of fate. "Hamoud, he has seen him! He can guide us there!" And with a look of tenderness she murmured, "You will show us the way? Ah, I will give you I will give you " She saw herself pouring gold over the pariah.
Night was falling: it was the time when the beasts of prey begin to stir from their lairs. Sitting beside the semblance of Hamoud, she examined in the last of the twilight the well-worn Koran. She hurled the book from her. It was swallowed by the gloom.
But Parr, not utterly crushed, proffered faintly that he knew he could not argue with the likes of her, being without education, having taken life as it came, mostly obeying orders "Like Hamoud," she commented. "Hamoud has taken life as it came, obeying the orders of fate. What is your word for resignation, Hamoud? The word that brought you across the ocean into Mr.
She saw one of the leading askaris kneel down and stretch himself upon his face, as if trying to press against the ground a thin shaft that seemed to be lying crosswise under his chest. Then she heard an explosion, and perceived a film of smoke full of horizontal gleams the blades of flying spears. She had a fleeting impression of Hamoud, his arm outstretched, his hand spitting fire.

"Then for God's sake don't, at least till this piece is done."
He tweaked the lamp cord: a gush of mellow rays leaped out to cover the scattered piles of manuscript, the Venetian goblet, the bottle of medicine. Hamoud moved the wheel chair closer to these objects, so that David by reaching forth his hand might touch them if he wished.
"All my life I have been dreaming this dream in which Lawrence and David, Hamoud and Anna Zanidov, America and Africa, are figments. Presently I shall wake and wonder why all these figments gave me so much pain." She floated deliciously in this thought. She reflected, with a vague smile: "I must go and restore the appearance of happiness to that poor phantom downstairs."

Hamoud, appearing in the doorway, gazed round the room. He had a folded newspaper in his hand. He looked carefully at the fireplace, where logs were piled ready for lighting over a heap of brushwood and crumpled wrapping paper.
Their indignation was softened by his crushed mien, and by his inflamed eyes. Having arrived at their verdict, they discussed Arabs or, as they called them, "Ayrabs" and one honest old fellow even paid the race a compliment, in saying: "It's said that when they like a person they will do anything for them." It was Hamoud who told her.
Lilla, watching the storm from the doorway of her tent, told herself that he, too, must hear these sounds; that she had come near enough to share with him at any rate this sensation unless her dread had already been realized, and he had sunk into a sleep from which even such noises could not wake him. Hamoud appeared at her side.
