When Barkan's people saw their king a prisoner, they drove at the others, seeking to rescue him, but Gharib and the Islamised Jinn fell upon them and gloriously done for Gharib! indeed that day he pleased the Lord who answereth prayer and slaked his vengeance with the talisman-sword!
"Jinn," said the Colonel, "I reckon you will have to go to your Aunt Lillian. It it will be hard. But I know that my girl can take care of herself. In case in case I do not come back, or occasion should arise, find Lige. Let him take you to your Uncle Daniel. He is fond of you, and will be all alone in Calvert House when the war is over. And I reckon that is all I have to say.
Why not treat them with the contempt they deserve?" "They are not all lies," the Jinnee admitted reluctantly. "Well, never mind. Whatever you've done, you've expiated it by this time." "Now that Suleyman is no more, it is my desire to seek out my kinsmen of the Green Jinn, and live out my days in amity and honour. How can that be if they hear my name execrated by all mortals?"
The jinn, who was still standing near me, became a bull; but, alas! the lovely fairy had not in the least recovered her senses, and that same state of stupor continued. Then my mind became distracted, and all my joys were turned into bitterness. From that day, man became my aversion. O holy Darweshes! I have at last seen you.
Let not the wiles of Satan make thee rue, For we're a folk whose creed's the One, the True. Then said I, "I conjure thee by Him whom thou worshippest, let me know who thou art!" Thereupon the unseen speaker appeared to me, in the likeness of a man, and said, "Fear not; for the report of thy good deed hath reached us, and we are a people of the true-believing Jinn.
I am she for whom thou wroughtest a good deed and sowedest the seed of gratitude and slewest her foe; for I am the serpent whom by Allah's aidance thou didst just now deliver from the Dragon. I am a Jinniyah and he was a Jinn who hated me, and none saved my life from him save thou.
She ran back home for a long stick with a hook at the end of it to recover the bucket, and as she put it into the water she sang: Swing and sweep till all does cling And to the surface safely bring. Now it so happened that a sleeping jinn dwelt at the bottom of the well.
The Jinn appear to have been similarly degraded on the rise of Mohammedanism. But the Trolls were always imps of darkness. They are descended from the Jotuns, or Frost-Giants of Northern paganism, and they correspond to the Panis, or night-demons of the Veda. In many Norse tales they are said to burst when they see the risen sun.
A Dore needed no assistance of the flying Jinn and the wandering stars on his way, no flying horse, "which when he went along flew, and when he flew the dust overtook him not." Without the equipment of training, without recognition of such a handicap, he entered upon his new career. In 1854 for the first time two pictures signed by Dore appeared on the walls of the Salon.
I never shall forget the face of one of those men who thrust the point of a lance at me, long enough to pierce through six men at once. I admit that I felt excited then! The jinn having passed " "The what?" asked Mademoiselle de Corandeuil, who was not familiar with Eastern terms. "I beg a thousand pardons, it was a poetical reminiscence.
