'And thou, lad, if the decision be in thy favour, wilt thou take for the ring double the worth at which the jeweller prizes it? 'My lord, I have spoken the truth. I cannot part with that ring for the palace of the Caliph. 'The truth for once is triumphant, said Honain.
Abner is made Sultan of Persia; Asriel, Ithamar, Medad, and the chief captains, Vizirs, Honain their chief. Four Moslem nobles are sworn into the council. The Princess goes to mosque in state next Friday; 'tis said thy pupil doth accompany her. 'I'll not believe it! By the God of Sinai, I'll not believe it! Were my own eye the accursed witness of the deed, I'd not believe it. Go to mosque!
'Sire, said Honain advancing, and laying his hand gently on the arm of the captive, 'I pray thee moderate this passion. Thou hast some faithful friends here, who would fain commune in calmness for thy lasting welfare. 'Welfare! He mocks me. 'I beseech, thee, Sire, be calm.
I succeeded, please your highness, in seeing at Aleppo the accursed Giaour, of whom I spoke, and behold, that which you desired is here. So saying, Ali produced several Greek manuscripts, and offered them to his visitor. 'Hah! said Honain, with a sparkling eye, ''tis well; their cost? 'The infidel would not part with them under five hundred dirhems, replied Ali.
I am modest; you think so? 'Certainly, said Honain. 'And interesting? 'Very. 'I detest an interesting person. After all, there is nothing like plain dulness. 'Nothing, said Honain. 'The day flows on so serenely in such society. 'It does, said Honain. 'No confusion; no scenes. 'None. 'I make it a rule only to have ugly slaves. 'You are quite right. 'Honain, will you ever contradict me?
The massy portal opened with a whirl and a roar, and before them stood an Abyssinian giant, holding in his leash a roaring lion. 'Hush, Haroun! said Honain to the animal, raising at the same time his arm; and the beast crouched in silence.
'What is this? exclaimed Alroy, really agitated. 'Rouse the guard, Jabaster, search the gardens. ''Tis useless and may do harm. It was a spirit that shrieked. 'What said it? 'Mené, Mené, Tekel, Upharsin! 'The old story, the priest against the king, said Honain to Alroy, when at his morrow's interview, he had listened to the events of the preceding night.
Her round white arms looked infinitely small, as they occasionally flashed forth from their large loose hanging sleeves. One was covered with jewels, and the right arm was quite bare. Honain advanced, and, bending, kissed the lady's proffered hand. Alroy fell into the background.
Some few days after this conversation on the terrace, as Alroy was reclining in a bower, in the beautiful garden of his host, meditating on the future, some one touched him on the back. He looked up. It was Honain. 'Follow me, said the brother of Jabaster. The Prince rose, and followed him in silence.
Where's Honain? 'With the Queen, Sire. ''Tis well. What's that shout? 'Here's the messenger from Asriel. Make way! way! 'Well! how is't, Sir? 'Please your Highness, I could not reach the guard. 'Could not reach the guard! God of my fathers! who should let thee? 'Sire, I was taken prisoner. 'Prisoner! By the thunder of Sinai, are we at war? Who made thee prisoner?
