If I laboured for better things outside Kaid's Palace, how long dost thou think I should escape the Nile, or the diamond-dust in my coffee? The work which I did, is it not so that it, with much more, falls now to thy hands, Saadat, with a confidence from Kaid that never was mine?" "I sought not the office." "Have I a word of blame? I come to ask for work to do with thee. Do I not know Prince Kaid?
See, I am Mahommed Hassan, thy servant! At midnight they surround Kaid's palace Achmet and Higli and kill the Prince Pasha. Return, Saadat. Harrik will kill thee." David made no sign, but with a swift word to the faithful Mahommed Hassan, passed on, and was presently admitted to the palace.

When, as I left the bank of the Nile, your words blinded my eyes, my mind said in its misery: 'Now, I see! The curtains fell away from between you and me, and I saw all that you had done for vengeance and revenge. You knew all on that night when you sought your life of me and the way back to Kaid's forgiveness. I see all as though you spoke it in my ear.
"I am come to save Egypt from the work of thy hands." "Dog of an unbeliever, what hast thou to do with me, or the work of my hands?" David held up Kaid's ring, which had lain in his hand. "I come from the master of Egypt master of thee, and of thy life, and of all that is thine." "What is Kaid's message to me?"
So he came back and shut himself up in his tent, and he sits there like a ghost all shrivelled up for want of sleep, and his eyes like a lime-kiln burning; for now he knows this at least, that Halim Bey had brought some word from Kaid's Palace that set these Arabs against him, and nearly stopped my correspondence.
Here again in the Palace square were Kaid's Nubians in their glittering armour as of silver and gold, drawn up as she had seen them drawn then, to be reviewed by their overlord. She swept swiftly through the streets and bazaars on her mission to Nahoum. "Lady Eglington" had asked for an interview, and Nahoum had granted it without delay.
He could have realised fully the fierce, blinding passion for revenge which had almost overcome Nahoum's calculating mind in the dark night, with his foe in the next room, which had driven him suddenly from his bed to fall upon David, only to find Mahommed Hassan watching also with the instinct of the Oriental. Some future scheme of revenge? Kaid's eyes gleamed red.
A hundred of Kaid's Nubians in their glittering armour made three sides of a quickly moving square, in the centre of which, and a little ahead, rode Kaid and Nahoum, while behind the square-in parade and gala dress-trooped hundreds of soldiers and Egyptians and natives.
Kaid's eyes fell, and he murmured to himself a moment, then he said slowly: "Thou didst save Egypt, thou and my friend" he gestured towards David" and my life also, and all else that is worth. Therefore bounty, and safety, and all thy desires were thy due. Kaid is no ingrate no, by the hand of Moses that smote at Sinai!" She made a pathetic motion of her hands.
