"In the Fayyūm you will never find good donkey-boy, my lady, but you will do always what you like. If you not like to take Hamza, Hamza very sad, very cryin' indeed, but Hamza he stay here. You do always what you think." When he had finished speaking, she knew that Hamza would accompany them; she knew that Baroudi had ordered that Hamza was to come.
Ivan then chose out six of the bravest of his followers, amongst them the watchman in whose sylvan hut they had held their secret meetings, Hamza, the sexton, and Mekipiros, whose mouth they had to gag, to prevent him from uttering his eternal "Hamamama!" Poor Mekipiros! A little while ago he was able to pray, now he could not utter an intelligible word!
Ali, the warrior par excellence, Abu Bekr, statesman and counsellor, Othman the soldier, Hamza and Omar, are not merely blind followers, but forceful personalities, contributing each in his own manner towards those assets of endurance, leadership, and unshaken faith which ensured the continuance of the Medinan colony and its ultimate victory over the Kureisch.
Armine knew this at evening when she saw her maid's eyes, and she wished she had brought with her an unintelligent English maid. And then, from the Fayyūm, a shadow fell over her the shadow of her husband. Eight days after her meeting with Baroudi among the flame-coloured rocks she was taken by Ibrahim and Hamza to the orange-gardens up the river which Baroudi had mentioned to Nigel.
"I did feel a little uneasy, I confess." "How did you come to-night?" "I walked." "Walked? Alone?" "Quite alone." "All that way! I'll send you back in the felucca." "Oh, that will be all right." "No, no, you shall have the felucca." She touched an electric bell. Hamza came. "The felucca, Hamza." "Yes." He went. "They'll get it ready." She moved some cushions.
Prompted by him, Hassan played upon Ibrahim's indignation at having been supplanted for so long by Hamza, and drew from him the truth of Mrs. Armine's days while Nigel had been away in the Fayyūm. Isaacson's treatment of Nigel's case had succeeded wonderfully. As the great heats began to descend upon Upper Egypt, the health of the invalid improved day by day. Mrs.
The boat touched the Loulia's side. A Nubian appeared. The singing on board abruptly ceased. Mrs. Armine quickly stood up in the boat. "Go to Luxor, Ibrahim! Go at once!" "I goin' quick, my lady." She sprang on board and stood to see him go. Only when the boat had diminished upon the dark water did she turn round. She was face to face with Hamza. "Hamza!" she said, startled.
But had not Hamza and Ibrahim been in the camp with her, she often said to herself that she could not have endured this period. That they were there meant that she was not forgotten, that while she was being patient, in a distant place, somewhere upon the great river, in the golden climate of Upper Egypt, some one else was being patient too. Surely it meant, it must mean, that!
"Right!" The coffee-making was finished. Hamza got up from his haunches, lifted up the brazier, and went softly away, carrying it with a nonchalant ease almost as if it were a cardboard counterfeit weighing nothing. In a moment Nigel came into the dim room of the fountain. "Where are you? Oh, there! We mustn't miss our first sunset." "Coffee!" she said, smiling.
"I can't see what such a thing can possibly have to do with you, or why it should interest you at all." "I will find you a better maid." "Hamza perhaps?" she said. "And why not Hamza?" He looked at her, and was silent. And again she felt a sensation of fear. There was something deadly about the praying donkey-boy. "When is that girl going?" Mrs.
