"Brother," said she to him, "the king your nephew, my dear son, is in the City of Enchantments, under the power of Queen Labe. Both you and I must go to deliver him, for there is no time to be lost." King Saleh forthwith assembled a puissant body of his marine troops, who soon rose out of the sea.
Perhaps I could you ain't of age yet but I shan't. And you want to quit the ship altogether, do you?" "If you mean this office yes, I do." "I see, I see. Want to quit South Harniss and your grandmother and Rachel and Labe and Helen and all the rest of 'em?" "Not particularly. But I shall have to, of course." "Yes. . . . Um-hm. . . . Yes.
The condition I was in, through the enchantment of the Princess Jehaun-ara, and from which I was delivered only to fall almost immediately into the power of another, has made me look upon such a fate with horror." His tears hindered him from going on, and sufficiently shewed with what repugnance he beheld himself under the fatal necessity of being delivered to queen Labe.
But I could begin for just the war, couldn't I? Maybe, 'twould fool me into thinkin' that was easier." "Of course, Labe. It's a good idea." "Maybe; and maybe it's a fool one. But I'm goin' to try it. I AM tryin' it, have been all day." He paused, drew a shaking hand across his forehead and then asked, "Al, will you help me? I asked you up here hopin' you would. Will you, Al, eh? Will you?"
Judging by the thumps and kicks and screams inside the closet the housekeeper's thoughts were otherwise engaged. "You let me out, Labe Ginn!" she screamed. "Cap'n Dott, you make him let me out!" Daniel, weary from laughing, could only gasp. "I can't, Zuba!" he answered, choking. "I can't! It ain't my affair. I couldn't interfere between husband and wife. You're a free woman, Zuba, you know.
Having no children, I look upon him as my son, and sent for him to come and comfort me, intending to leave him what I have when I die." Queen Labe, who had never yet seen any one to compare with King Beder, began to conceive a passion for him, and thought immediately of getting the old man to abandon him to her.
And say good-by to Helen for me, some of you, if you happen to think of it. Not that 'twill make much difference to her," he added, "whether she gets my good-bys or not, but it might make some to me. . . . Um, yes, yes." Mr. Price was eager to oblige. "I'll tell her you sent 'em, Labe," he said, patronizingly. "Set your mind to rest; I'll tell her." Laban's lip twitched.
It was SO necessary for me to go to that meetin'. You've spiled everything, and just as 'twas goin' so nice. What Gertie'll say I don't know." Daniel developed a new interest. "Gertie?" he repeated. "Hush, Labe! wait a minute. What's Gertie got to do with it?" "Nothin', nothin'. Oh, Labe, PLEASE."
Seems to me seems so." He began his pacing up and down again. "Seems different, somehow," he went on. "Seems like a new chance. I want to do somethin' for Uncle Sam. I I'd like to try and enlist for the duration of the war swear off for that long, anyhow. Then, maybe, I'd be able to keep on for life, you know duration of Labe Keeler, eh? Yes, yes, yes.
You stay in there and think till mornin', and we'll have it for breakfast." Silence actual silence for a moment. Then Azuba asked, in a half-smothered but much humbler voice, "Oh, Labe! WON'T you let me out?" "Sure thing if you've thought up that supper for me and Cap'n Dan'l." "But I did so want oh, if I could only tell you!
