The Bailo Dona, who had known him intimately in Venice, desired me to be the bearer of all his friendly compliments for him, and M. Venier expressed his deep regret at not being able to make his acquaintance. The second day after my first visit to him being a Thursday, the pacha did not forget to send a janissary according to his promise.
In the neighbourhood of Patrona dwelt Musli, a veteran Janissary, who filled up his spare time by devoting himself to the art of slipper-stitching.
"The coast is clear," whispered Lucien, looking back. "We must act out our part of janissary and slave, father. Quick! Shoulder this small chest."
On the 14th of April she came to anchor about a mile and a half from Cape Janissary, the Sygean promontory, where she remained about a fortnight; during which ample opportunity was afforded to inspect the plain of Troy, that scene of heroism, which, for three thousand years, has attracted the attention and interested the feelings and fancy of the civilized world.
Some people ought to have mutes for servants in Vanity Fair mutes who could not write. If you are guilty, tremble. That fellow behind your chair may be a Janissary with a bow-string in his plush breeches pocket. If you are not guilty, have a care of appearances, which are as ruinous as guilt. "Was Rebecca guilty or not?" the Vehmgericht of tho servants' hall had pronounced against her.
He dismounts and passes on foot over this floor, over the marble slabs trodden a thousand years ago by the Emperor Justinian. The first thing he sees is a janissary maliciously aiming his axe at the marble pavement. The Sultan goes up to him and asks, "Why?" "In the cause of the faith," answers the soldier.
"Sidi Hassan, you say, has been sent to be the British consul's janissary?" "Yes." "For what purpose?" asked the Sultana.
In less than a quarter of an hour we met the janissary whom Sir Moses had sent to the Governor of Jerusalem. He came at full gallop, and had several horsemen with him. He brought Sir Moses an answer from the Governor, who had sent him twenty brave fellows, all well mounted and armed. We waited a few moments till they all came up.
Then they dropped the beam, uttered a yell of execration, and rushed upon him, but were unexpectedly checked by one of their own number suddenly turning round, and in a voice of stern authority ordering the crowd to stand back. The young janissary who acted thus unexpectedly was a tall handsome man of resolute bearing, but with a frame that rather denoted activity than strength.
But I t'ink he knows de janissary officer what has charge ob de gang, an' if you don't know him Ali might be useful." "There is wisdom in what you say." "Eben zough I is a `fool?" asked the negro simply. Osman laughed. "At all events you are an honest fool, Peter, and I'm sorry I burned your back the other day. You didn't deserve it." "Oh, nebber mind dat," returned Peter, feeling really uneasy.
