"How can they ridicule you, my beloved son? " murmured Khadra, regarding him tenderly; "are you not handsomer and stronger than all of these pale, weak boys? Can you not steer a boat and use a gun better than they? Are you not a man among these boys?" "Not yet, Mother Khadra; but I shall become one," said he, rising from his knees and lifting his head proudly.
I had to hold fast to the oar, the skin stuck to it, and that made my hands bleed." The men gaze on him admiringly, and whisper to each other: "He is a hero, if he is only ten years old." And they respectfully step back, and allow the boy to pass on up the rocky path that leads to Cavalla. "Here he is again, Sitta Khadra.
They must wait until the farewell had been given, then they would go on again. The camel-men assented politely, without comment. But Max heard Khadra say to her husband, "It is the Sidi who loved Ahmara. One would think he had forgotten her now. Or is it that he tries this way to forget?"
"Also for the old friend of your good mother Khadra?" inquired the merchant, with an air of mock gravity. Mohammed did not reply; he had probably not heard him. He quietly selected, from the box handed him, a beautiful ring set with a precious stone, then four beautiful cups and saucers of the finest Chinese porcelain, and a variety of other articles necessary for housekeeping.
The two Constabulary men came closer, and Jack stepped back into the house, shooing the Fuzzies out of the way. Lunt and Khadra stopped inside the door. "I just told you. They're Fuzzies. That's all the name I know for them." A couple of Fuzzies came over and looked up at Lieutenant Lunt; one of them said, "Yeek?" "They want to know what you are, so that makes it mutual."
"It looks like mockery." "No, not like mockery, but like pure love," said the boy, eagerly. "My love dresses you in purple and gold, and I wish to see Sitta Khadra the most brilliant among women." A blissful smile suffused itself over his features. But suddenly this smile disappeared, and his countenance assumed an expression of care and anxiety. At this moment he saw how pale his mother was.
They, too, like fine clothes, and they will thank me more for that which I have bought with my life. Yes, I will do this!" He rushed to the door with such violence that Khadra could hardly recall him. "Where are you going, Mohammed?" "To the cliffs. What my mother despises I will throw, into the sea."
I know that eagles, hawks, and doves, find their food among the rocks, but for mankind there is no food there." "And I found none, Mother Khadra; I must learn to do with little, to conquer hunger, and I fought with it for two days. See how I am rewarded! my food never tasted so deliciously before." "Eat, my boy! Allah bless your food and drink!
Lion took the four ducats with a smile, and handed him the beautiful goods wrapped in gilt-edged paper. Mohammed, proud of his bargain, took the package, and ran in breathless haste to his mother. "Here, mother, I bring you something you will like!" he cried. "Yourself?" asked Khadra, with a gentle smile. "I need nothing else." "Yes, Mother Khadra, you do need something else.
"I dare not offer it to Mohammed; I believe it would make him so angry that he would raise his hand against me. You must not tell him, Sitta Khadra, that you have brought me back the goods." "You are right, sir; I should not like to cause him this unhappiness. I shall tell him I have taken the goods to the tailor to have it made into a dress by the next Bairam's festival.
