If we found her we could hardly carry her off up-country if there were any safer course. "Time time is swift!" said Kagig, pulling out a watch like a big brass turnip and shaking it, presumably to encourage the mechanism. "The fact is," said Monty, drawing us farther aside, for Rustum Khan was growing restive and inquisitive, "I've not much faith in Kagig's prospects at Zeitoon.
Finally, when the beautiful smooth cloth of which his coat was made bad taken on a stinking overlay of crackled black, the German chose to obey Kagig and came leaping back through the fire, and lay groaning on the floor, where the kahveh's owner's seven sons poured water on him by Kagig's order. His burns were evidently painful, but not nearly so serious as I expected.
With these eyes I saw them dragged by the hair down street! Oh, would God that I had put my eyes out first, then had I never seen it! Kagig " "Aye Kagig!" "You shall not sneer at me! I shot one Turk, and ten more pounced on them. They screamed to me. They called to me to rescue. What could I do? I shot, and I shot until the rifle barrel burned my fingers.
"I also!" exclaimed Kagig. "I also desire that!" "Now you've got that off your chest, Didums, suppose you talk sense," suggested Fred. "What are your plans?" Monty recognized the unalterable, and set his face. "You first, Miss Vanderman. There's one way in which we can always use a gentlewoman's services." "Mayn't I fight?" she begged, and we all laughed. "'Fraid not. No.
You can dishonor the lot of us now, if you care to, by oh, tommyrot! Tell your man to put your blankets in the only empty place, and behave like a man of sense!" "But, huzoor " Monty dismissed the subject with a motion of his hand, and turned to talk with Kagig, who shouted for yoghourt to be brought at once; and that set the sons of the owner of the place to hurrying in great style.
It wag Kagig and Will together who overtook me, picked me off my feet, and dragged me back, and Will went down alone, with a wave of the hand to Gloria, and a laugh that might have made the devil think he liked it. Then began the conference, I holding a mere watching brief with a pistol reasonably close to Mahmoud's ear.
Kagig laughed sharply, and dismissed the past hour from his mind with a short sweep of the hand. "No. Tell me," said Monty. "The gipsy brought it. A whole division of the Turkish regular army is on the march. Their rear-guard camps to-night a day's march this side of Tarsus. Dawn will find the main body within sight of us.
Who listened to me? Why should I listen to you?" "But, Kagig, my wife is gone!" "Hah!" "My daughter, Kagig!" "Hah! A third man thrust himself forward and thumped the butt of a long rifle on the floor. "They took my wife and two daughters before my very eyes, Kagig! It is no time for talking now you have talked already too much, Kagi, now prove yourself a man of deeds!
The Turks are fools, as Kagig said, and their general is also a fool, in spite of Kagig. They propose to force that ramp. You see that by Frredd sahib's orders the firing on our side has grown greatly less. That is to draw the Turks on. See! It has drawn them! They are coming!
But he used the right word and we jumped at the idea, although Gloria, who had no notions about international diplomacy, was easily first with her hat in the ring. "I'll lead some men!" she shouted. "Who'll follow me?" Her voice rang clear with the virtue won on college playing fields. "Nothing to it!" Will insisted promptly. "Here, you, Kagig I'll make a bargain with you!" "Watch!"
