"One way is to pick a quarrel with the person you suspect. But the safer way is to seem very friendly. "Now why don't you make love to her? You're a fine, big, handsome man. I don't suppose she'll prefer you in her heart to Jimgrim, but she'll not be ashamed to appear to respond, and if she has evil intentions she will surely seek to take advantage of your passion to forward her own plans.
From a major in foreign service, uninvited, to a king, it sounded near the knuckle. Feisul took it quite pleasantly. "I know one from the other, Jimgrim." Grim got up and took a chair opposite Feisul. He was all worked up and sweating at self-mastery, hotter under the collar than I had ever seen him.
Grim answered, bringing down a clenched fist on his knee, and Feisul laughed in spite of himself. "You talk like a prophet, Jimgrim, but let me tell you something. It is mainly a question of money after all. The British paid us a subsidy until they withdrew from Syria. They did their best for us even then, for they left behind guns, ammunition, wagons and supplies.
"Later they saw me start for Petra when the train had passed; and now they will learn that Ibrahim ben Ah with seven score men is bivouacking in the desert. The world is round, O Ali Higg, so that where in one place it seems dark in another they say the sun is rising." "In Allah's name, who art thou?" asked the Lion. "James Schuyler Grim. Men call me Jimgrim." "Allah!
Already he takes counsel with her; did he and she not lay their heads together in your presence after morning prayers?" "For whom, then? For Jimgrim?" "God forbid! Shall I woo a dead man? Nay! You say you will give me the poison if I tell? You swear it? Then it is for the Lion of Petra. Thus I shall win the love of Jimgrim.
The early sun seemed to edge everybody with a sort of aura, but it also showed every detail of a face and made it next to impossible to hide emotion. She opened the ball. I imagine she had been doing that most of her life. "Jimgrim," she said. "Jimgrim. Are you by any chance the American named James Grim, who fought with Lawrence in Allenby's campaign?"
Feisul shook his head. "If other people break their promises, that is no reason why we should break ours. If we can defeat the French and force them to make other terms, then we will expel him from Syria. I leave at midnight, Jimgrim." "To defeat the French? You go to your Waterloo! You're in check with only one move possible, and I'm here to make you realize it.
"The lady as well?" Grim nodded again. "That is very strong recommendation, Jimgrim!" Grim introduced us, giving Jeremy's name as Jmil Ras. "Hah! I have heard of you," said Hadad, staring at him. "The Australian who wandered all over Arabia? I am probably the only Arab who knew what you really were.
Therein I lurked, while those who pursued ran past me up the street, I counting them; and among them I did not count Yussuf Dakmar and three more. It happened that a man was running up the street and the pursuers supposed him to be me. So I was left with only four to deal with; and it entered my head that no doubt Jimgrim sahib would be pleased to interview Yussuf Dakmar.
It is written that in the desert all men are enemies. What if he should meet a dozen men?" "The letter will be his pass. He must take a chance returning." "Wallahi! A letter? A pass into Jehannum possibly! By Allah, Jimgrim, a man needs more than a letter in these parts. He needs brains age influence experience. Nay! If any is to take that letter, let me do it.
