"No, thank you," said Jael, firmly. "I shall not stay long after the way I have been received." "And how do you expect to be received?" "As I used to be. As a poor girl who once saved HIS life, and nearly lost her own, through being his true and faithful servant." "Faithful to him, but not to me." Jael's face showed she did not understand this.
She raised her voice in saying this, and so did he in replying, "Tell you I came out on my own business, not Jael's; but I am a good-natured fellow, considering all I endure, so I took that opportunity to bring your sister out to see you. Could I guess you two couldn't make yourselves happy for one afternoon without flirting? So much for sisterly affection!
Farewell." She was actually going; but Grace caught her by the arm. "No, no, you shall not leave me so." "Ay, but I will." And Jael's eyes, so mild in general, began to sparkle with anger, at being detained against her will; but, generous to the last, she made no use of her great strength to get clear from Grace. "You will not go, if you are the woman you were.
"Oh, miss, I'd rather you would take one, in spite of me." "Well, so I will. There!" And she whipped one away from the bosom of Jael's dress. "Mind, I never gave it you." "No. I took it by brute force." "I like you too well to give you a pin." "May I venture to inquire what would be the consequence?" "Ill luck, you may be sure. Heart-trouble, they do say."
They told her you were dead; they told her you were false; appearances were such she had no chance not to be deceived. She held out for a long time; but they got the better of her her father is much to blame she is married." "Married!" "Yes!" "Married!" He leaned, sick as death, against the mantel-piece, and gasped so terribly that Jael's fortitude gave way, and she began to cry.
He had a warrant for Mother Jael's arrest in his pocket, but save himself there was no one to execute it, and it might be difficult to take the old woman in charge when she was so to speak safe in the heart of her kingdom. However, Baltic regarded the warrant only as a means to an end, and did not intend to use it, other than as a bogey to terrify Mother Jael into confession.
"And because the Koran denounces usury by Moslems, and you are a pious man and also perhaps because of the risk attached to using your name in the matter your wife Jael's name was used. Nevertheless, your seal was used at the time as a check on her. Now, at a word from me the British would impound that money, interest and all." "A murrian on them! But you spoke of being friends?"
With a hammer she drove the spike into the temple of Sisera, who cried out as he was expiring: "O that I should lose my life by the hand of a woman!" Jael's mocking retort was: "Descend to hell and join thy fathers, and tell them that thou didst fall by the hand of a woman."
Nobody helped Jael Higg from her camel, for she jumped down like an acrobat and stood staring about her at Ali Baba's gang, and being stared at as they went about the business of off-loading the complaining beasts. I saw Ayisha get out of the shibriyah, face around slowly, and meet Jael's eyes.
He was not strong enough for disguises now in his first look she might have seen, have felt, that I had told her the truth. For hers but it dropped down, down, as Ursula March's clear glance had never dropped before. Then I knew how all would end. Jael's voice broke in sharply.
