The office, it may be added, communicated by gay portieres with four other apartments, each having its separate centre-tree; one occupied by Kalil, the Vizier; one, a bed-chamber, so to speak; one, a stable for the imperial stud; the fourth belonged to no less a person than our ancient and mysterious acquaintance, the Prince of India.
Kalil the Vizier exhorted Mahommed to abandon the siege. "What, retire now? Now that the gate St. Romain is in ruins and the ditch filled?" the Sultan cried in rage. "No, my bones to Eyoub, my soul to Eblis first. Allah sent me here to conquer."
I had a very pretty diadem, set with diamonds and pearls, given to me by Kalil Bey after a performance at his house. The ashes of this had to be sifted in order to find the stones. The diamonds were there, but the pearls had melted.
He of course presented himself first to the Grand Vizier, Kalil Pacha, of whom the reader may take note, since, aside from his reappearances in these pages, he is a genuine historic character.
Mahommed caught up the sword, and played with its ruby handle, turning it at angles to catch its radiations; at length he said: "Prince of India, thou hast spoken like a Prophet. Go call Kalil and Saganos." We have given the opening of the siege of Byzantium by Mahommed with dangerous minuteness, the danger of course being from the critic.
To further acquaintance with him, it may be added that he was truly a veteran in public affairs, a member of the great family to which the vizierat descended almost in birthright, and a friend to the Greeks, most likely from long association with Amurath, although he has suffered severe aspersion on their account. Kalil advised Phranza to drop the stipend.
In one of the latter, the Count recognized Constantinople and its environs cast together from his own surveys. Retired a few steps were the two Viziers, Kalil Pacha and his rival, Saganos Pacha, the Mollah Kourani, and the Sheik Akschem-sed-din. The preaching of the Mollah had powerfully contributed to arousing the fanatical spirit of the Sultan's Mohammedan subjects.
Muttering his curses, his iron tongs clanking at every step, the yogi strode to the first mud-wall huts, and there raising his voice cried aloud: "Maha Kalil consume the houses of these men of an evil heart who would deny the offering to Thee."
Through the racket from the hallway above faintly came the voice of Kalil Majdalain. "Her head is free of the ceiling. Quick, Kasheed! Turn her, thou, upon the landing!" "Whack!" responded the lath in the hand of Kasheed Hassoun. Step by step the gentle shaggy brute felt her way with feet, knees and nozzle up the narrow staircase.
The advisers saluted it would be difficult to say which of them with the greatest unction. Looking sharply at Kalil, the master asked: "You say you superintended the running of the lines in person?" Kalil saluted separately, and returned: "My Lord may depend upon the survey." "Very well. I wait now only the indication of Heaven that the time is ripe for the movement.
