It even pleased Narayan Singh, since the tables were turned on Ayisha. The only reason she could possibly have had for telling these men that Grim was Ali Higg was to score off him, either by capturing him for herself, or in the alternative by ruining him for rejecting her advances.
Charles Honeyman's eloquence and amiability were appreciated by his new disciple thus the historian has traced here step by step how all these people became acquainted. Sam Higg, whose name was very good on 'Change in Manchester and London, joined the direction of the Anglo-Continental.
Arrange good terms for my ransom, and I will see that Ali Higg wipes off Ayisha's score." "We shall see about that; we shall see," he answered. "Yes, yes! You go and see! Go to him now!" "When we halt," the Sikh answered. "In an hour it may be too late," she insisted. "If Ali Higg is prowling and should swoop down on you who would bargain then?"
"Ali Higg is doing his worst, not his best, Jael." "He is creating unity among these tribes," she retorted. "He is practically forcing the British to come out and smash him," said Grim. "Now, see here, Jael, I don't want him smashed.
This must be a bargain between me and thee." "Taib." "It is known," said Grim, "that you have money on deposit with the Bank of Egypt." "A lie! A lie!" snapped Ali Higg. "Who said it?" "Fifty thousand pounds in gold was the exact amount, deposited at six percent, and interest to be compounded every half-year," said Grim.

It was in shadow, because the cliff wall, from which the temple had been carved, overhung it; so it was peculiarly difficult to hit, even at that range; but they were all firing away at it as if Ali Higg and all his men were hidden behind the thing. There was no particular need to stop them, for they had made noise enough already to awake the very slumbering bones of Petra.
Ali Baba's two sons got one on either side of him without making him feel any better, for he too was a Hebron man and knew them and their reputation. There was nothing improbable about their throwing in their lot with the greater robber Ali Higg. Then the sheikh's men tried to load gifts on Grim chickens, a live sheep, melons, vegetables, and camel milk in a gourd.
In the center of that the tents were pitched, and the only building in use was a great half-open cave on another hillside, in which Ayisha told us Ali Higg himself lived, overlooking the entire camp and directing its destinies. On the top of the mountain in front of us was the tomb of Aaron, Moses' brother.
