It was a charming little interlude. Old Haschim was still pondering it in his memory with much satisfaction when he and his caravan had gone some distance further. He felt obliged to Orion for this pretty scene, and when he heard the young man's quadriga approaching at an easy trot behind him, he turned round to gaze.
Haschim replied that a right-minded spirit always came to a just conclusion at last; and then the conversation turned on her father, and the physician explained to the Arab that she was resolved never to weary of seeking the missing man. "Nay, it is the sole aim and end of my life," cried the girl. "A great mistake, in my opinion," said the leech.
While you are resting here I will ride on to the governor's palace and bring you word as to how matters stand." The caravansary into which Haschim and his following now turned off stood on a plot of rising ground surrounded by palm-trees.
He sprang from his bed at the first glimmer of dawn, glad that the night was past, and started to cross the Nile in order to place half of Paula's fortune in the hands of Salech, the brother of Haschim the merchant.
His Egyptian attendant, the head of the Hermeneutai the guild of the Dragomans of that period was a swarthy and surly native of Memphis; whenever he accidentally came too close to the fierce-looking riders of the dromedaries he shrunk his shoulders as if he expected a blow or a push, while he poured out question and answer to the Merchant Haschim, the owner of the caravan, without timidity and with the voluble garrulity of his tribe.
Just when the river was beginning to rise perceptibly Amru returned; bringing in his train little Mary and Rustem, Philippus the leech and Haschim, who had joined the governor's caravan at Djidda.
Haschim must now wait till the morrow, and he, the guide, would counsel him to pass the night in the city at an inn kept by one Moschion, where he would be well cared for. But the merchant preferred to remain where he was.

At the same time the clatter of hoofs became audible from the road behind the inn. Haschim turned round and was aware of torchbearers running ahead of a chariot. "The sick man has come so far by water," said the Arab, "and now, he is to be driven home. Strange! this is the second time to-day that I have met his much-talked-of son!" The governor's pleasure-barge was nearing the palm-grove.
