He must mean something, he must mean much; or why was Hamza out here in the green depths of the Fayyûm? Nigel had gone to Sennoures to order provisions, leaving her to rest after the journey from Cairo. She got up from the sofa in the sitting-room tent, which was comfortable in a very simple way but not at all luxurious, went to the opening, and looked out.
Hamza mentions that name. This work which it would not be too bold to identify with the Koday Nameh began with the primeval king, Gayomarth, and reached down to the termination of the reign of Khushrau II, surnamed Parwez.
At the top of the steps she stood still, then looked round, with a slight gesture as if she would return. "What is it, Ruby?" asked Nigel. "Have you forgotten anything?" "No, no. Is it this side? Or must we have the felucca? I forget." "It's this side. The Loulia is tied up here on purpose. The donkeys, Hamza!"
They passed the doors of the servants' cabins, and came into their own quarters. Ibrahim followed softly behind with a smiling face, and Hamza, standing still in the sunshine beneath the golden letters, looked after them imperturbably. Baroudi's "den" had been swept and garnished. Flowers and small branches of mimosa decorated it, as if this day were festal.
And so each day Ibrahim and Hamza brought this Western woman to the place he had appointed, and always he was there before her. Baroudi loved secrecy, and Mrs. Armine had nothing to fear at present from indiscretion of his. And she had no fear of that kind in connection with him.
"Can you manage to row me across to the Loulia without help?" "My lady, I am as strong as Rameses the Second." "Very well then! Get a small, light boat. We shall go more quickly in that. How long is Baroudi going to stay?" "I dunno." "Try to find out. Is Hamza with him?" Ibrahim looked vicious. "Hamza him there. But Hamza very bad boy. I not speak any more to Hamza." "Don't forget!
The small felucca of the Loulia was alongside. Hamza took her by the arm. Although his hand was small and delicate, it seemed to her then a thing of iron that could not be resisted. She got into the boat. Where was she going to be taken? It occurred to her now that perhaps Baroudi had some plan, that he did not choose to keep her on board, that he had a house at Luxor, or The Villa Nuit d'Or!
Hamza did not turn the head of the donkey towards the Libyan mountains. The tombs and the temples of Thebes were far away. She wondered where she was being taken, but she did not ask again. She enjoyed this new sensation of being governed from a distance, and she remembered her effort of the imagination when she was shut up in the scented darkness of the Loulia.
Armine met in the territory to the south, once again among the mountains, then in the plain, presently under the flickering shade of orange-trees neatly planted in serried rows and accurately espaced. When she started in the morning from the river-bank below the garden, Mrs. Armine did not ask where she was going of Ibrahim; when she got upon her donkey did not put any question to Hamza.
He looked towards them, and added, after a pause: "They are most beautiful, indeed." Then he spoke quickly in Arabic to Hamza. Hamza replied with volubility. When he talked with his own people he seemed to become another being. His almost cruel calm of a bronze vanished. His face lit up with expression. A various life broke from him, like a stream suddenly released. But if Mrs.
