As far back as the year 1875 the Khedive Ismail began to discover that the financial position of his Government was bad, and that it would be impossible to keep up the payment of the interest on the debt at the high rate of seven per cent., which Egypt had bound itself to pay. He therefore applied to the British Government for advice and assistance.
You shall learn to know my gods, for we are to be partners, you and I!" She laughed at him, looking like a goddess herself, but he frowned. And the more he frowned the better she seemed to like him. "Partners in what, Princess?" "Thou Ismail dubbed thee Ready o' wit! answer thine own question!" She took his hand again, her eyes burning with excitement and mysticism and ambition like a fever.
But of what else should the karnal sahib write?" "What is the object of the rising?" King asked him next; and the man threw his head back to laugh like a wolf. Laughter, at night in the Khyber, is an insult. Ismail chattered into his beard; but King sat still. "Object? What but to force the Khyber and burst through into India and loot?
So a man may rest in temporary peace even on the road to Khinjan, although Khinjan and peace have nothing whatever in common. It was at such a shrine, surrounded by tattered rags tied to sticks, that fluttered in the wind three or four thousand feet above Khyber level, that King drew Ismail into conversation, and deftly forced on him the role of questioner.
"Then why d'you suppose she passed him along to me?" asked King. "Dunno! This is your little mystery, not mine!" "Glad you appreciate that! Do me a favor, will you?" "Anything in reason." "Get the keys to all these cells send 'em in here to me by Ismail and leave me in here alone!"
Here was the residence of Ismail, to whose influence probably was due the recent conversion to Islam of several families. The pasang-grahan, though small, was clean and there was room for all. Thanks to the efforts of the vaccinateur, the Dayaks, who were very friendly, submitted to the novel experience of the camera and kept me busy the day that we remained there.
He was so nearly the image of Athelstan King that Ismail and Darya Khan stood up and stared. Athelstan strode to meet him. Their walk was the same. Angle for angle, line for line, they might have been one man and his shadow, except for three-quarters of an inch of stature. "Glad to see you, old man," said Athelstan. "Sure, old chap!" said Charles; and they shook hands.
From the 26th of June 1879, when Ismail was deposed, to this date, Cherif Pasha remained Prime Minister; he had been appointed on the dismissal of the Rivers-Wilson and de Blignières Ministry in May.
Kingsley Bey sighed, and his face was clouded, but Dicky knew he was not thinking of Ismail or the blackmail. His eyes were on the house by the shore, now disappearing, as they rounded a point of land. "Ah" said Donovan Pasha, but he did not sigh. "Ah!" said a lady, in a dirty pink house at Assiout, with an accent which betrayed a discovery and a resolution, "I will do it.
He had, indeed, lost sight of the fact that the rebellion must be hopeless. "When," he asked, "will Chiltistan be ready?" "As soon as the harvest is got in," replied Ahmed Ismail. Shere Ali nodded his head. "You and I will go northwards to-morrow," he said. "To Kohara?" asked Ahmed Ismail. "Yes." For a little while Ahmed Ismail was silent.
