"I have sworn on the Koran that whatsoever prisoners fell to my lot should be delivered over as slaves to the Somalis of the Galla country. I have spoken. It is Kismet. At daybreak ye start for the interior."
It is a real disaster for the family, for they are poor enough without having Kismet thus descend upon them. The hospital boat had held on safely, but several little craft were driven ashore. Naturally the children love the aftermath of such an event, for the world is turned for them into one large, entrancing puddle, bordered with embryo mud pies. Topsy again!
To begin with I went to a party to-night." "I know," said P. Sybarite, with a quiet chuckle: "the Hadley-Owen masquerade." "How did you know?" "Kismet! It had to be." "Are you by any chance mad?" "I shouldn't be surprised. Anyhow, I'm a bit mad I wasn't invited. Everybody I know or meet almost is either bidden to that party or knows somebody who is.
"Enter Kismet!" But Juliet had already turned away. That Saturday night concert at High Shale entailed a greater effort on Dick's part than any that had preceded it. He forced himself to make it a success, but when it was over he was conscious of an overwhelming weariness that weighed him down like a physical burden.
He was going to play to the masterful Gorgio, and he would play as he had never played before. He would pour the soul of his purpose into the music to win back or steal back, the lass sealed to him by the Starzke River. "Kismet!" he said aloud, and he rose from the chair to go to the violin, but as he did so the door opened and Ingolby entered.
I'll meet her in the Mediterranean after my kick-up, and it'll be all O. K. Jacques and I will ride down through Spain to Gibraltar, and meet the Kismet there. I shall have got rid of this restlessness then, and I'll be glad enough to settle down, pose for throne and constitution, cultivate the olive branch, and have family prayers."
For the sake of a little social meeting at any cost, they accepted it; accepted it with a sigh, midway as by engineering measurement between prospective and retrospective; as nearly mechanical as things human may be, like the Mussulman's accustomed cry of Kismet.
"Later on," replied Moussa Isa, using the words that express the general attitude of the East. "Now, dog. Now, Hubshi, or I will beat thee." "I will kill you," replied Moussa Isa, and again bided his time. "Hubshi, Hubshi, Hubshi," goaded the misguided fat one. His Kismet led the youth, some weeks later, to lay him down and sleep in the shade of the house upon some broad flagstones.
The "Golden Circle" is badly shattered. Every inlet of the Pacific is watched, after the fiasco of the Chapman. She lies at anchor, an ignoble prize to the sturdy old Cyane. It is kismet. Maxime Valois mourns over the failure of these last plans to save the "cause." Heart-sick, he only wonders when a Yankee bullet will end the throbbings of his unconquerable heart. All is dark.
To Rrisa, who watched it from the lower gallery, it portended ominous evil. "It goes ahead of us, by Allah!" he murmured. "Into the Empty Abodes, where the sons of Feringistan would penetrate, a shadow goes first! And that is not good." He whispered a prayer, then added: "For the others, I care not. But my Master his life and mine are bound with the cords of Kismet.
