I love her! Oh, I love her, Mr. Fred! I never loved a woman in all my life before. It would break my heart if she were to be betrayed into open sin by Kagig! Oh, what shall I do? What shall I do? I love her! What shall I do?" "Do?" said Fred, looking forward in imagination to new worlds of humor, "why make love, if you love her! Make hot love and strong!" "Will you help me, Mr.
Each man had a handful, or two handfuls at the most. Kagig observed their contributions to the common fund with scoRN too deep for expression. It was as if the very springs of speech were frozen. "We summon you to lead us, Kagig!" Words came to him again. "You summon me to lead? I will! From now I lead! By the God who gave my fathers bread among the mountains, I will, moreover, be obeyed!
"You must come with me and find her, Kagig my wife and two daughters, who fed you often!" "The daughters were pretty," said Kagig. "So was the wife. A young woman yet. A brave, good woman. Always she agreed with me, I remember. Often I heard her urge you men to follow me to Zeitoon and help to fortify the place!" "Will you leave a good woman in the hands of Turks, Kagig? Come come to the rescue!"
Instead, she glanced toward Kagig, who, strangely enough, was lolling on his blankets as if nothing in the world could interest him less. The glance took as swift effect as an electric spark that fires a mine. He stiffened instantly. "Yok!" he shouted, and at once there ceased to be even a symptom of impending trouble.
"Kagig isn't the man you'd think a young woman would choose to be familiar with," Fred said quietly to me, and I wondered what he was driving at. He is always observant behind that superficial air of mockery he chooses to assume, but what he had noticed to set him thinking I could not guess. Rustum Khan threw away the cigarette I had given him, and went on with his tale.
Almost before the echoes of the drum-taps died among the dancing shadows overhead a voice cried from the roof in Armenian, and Kagig rose to his feet. "Let us climb to the roof and see, effendim," he said, pulling on his tattered goat-skin coat. "See what, Ermenie?" demanded Rustum Khan. The Rajput's eyes were still ablaze with pagan flame, from watching Maga.
Without a word of answer Kagig vaulted back across the rail and disappeared around the corner of the house, walking without hurry but not looking back. "Kagig, by jove! It would take too long now to tell that story of the letter to Adrianople. I've no proof, but a private notion that Kagig is descended from the old Armenian kings. In a certain sort of tight place there's not a better man in Asia.
"But could they stop it, once started?" I asked. "They could try. That 'ud be more than they ever did yet." "You mean," said Monty, "that you'd like us to engage Kagig and make the trip, and to remain out in case of ah vukuart until we're rescued?" "Can't say I like it, but that's what I mean. And as for rescue, the longer the process takes the better, I imagine!"
Tell it to the sportmen of America that all we need is a handful to rally round, and we will all be sportmen too! Go and tell them tell them!" "You bet we will!" said Gloria. "Then go!" said Kagig. "Go by way of Persia, lest the Turks find ways of stopping up your mouths. Monty has died to help us. I live that I may help. You go and tell the sportmen all.
Then she said if I would tell that tale to Kagig as soon as I see him she would reward me with leave to live for one whole week and an extra hour in which to pray to the devil meaning, I suppose, that she intends to kill me otherwise. Then she wheeled her stallion the brute was trying to tear out the muscles of my thigh all that time and rode away and I followed and here I am!"
