"Freddy, I believe in God, and He has told me that Michael is as true to me as I am to him." "Poor old girl!" Freddy said tenderly. "You're such a loyal old thing." But Meg rounded on him; she was a truer Lampton than she ever suspected. "Oh, don't 'poor' me, Freddy! I can't bear it. It sounds as if I were half an imbecile, or as if Michael was a villain!
"I should think," said I, "that Mr. Lampton must have no lack of cases among such enlightened clients." "Clients, sir!" said my friend, "Mr. Lampton is not a lawyer." "I beg pardon, I thought you said he rode the circuit."
She had trapped Michael and successfully outwitted Margaret Lampton. She was going to thoroughly enjoy herself. Michael, of course, would become quite docile in her hands later on; one of her gentle spells would reconcile him. "How long have you been in the desert?" Michael asked. "We've camped for two nights," she said. "It's been perfectly beautiful!
The Lampton type of brain was familiar to him, and his own method of absorbing languages, or any of the subjects which he had had to study for his examinations, was exactly similar to Margaret's, so he set Michael and their Arabic master on the right track. As a rule, the Arabic alphabet takes a student about three weeks to learn.
"It has all been in order, it has all been a part of the Guiding Power." "Do you think so? I wish I knew. Lampton thinks I've no ambition. I have, of a sort, but it's not of a money-making kind, it's not going to make my name or what you could call a career. I want to teach people how to live, and I don't know how to do it myself." "I understand," Ireton said.
If he attempted to deny the fact that there was something on his mind, she knew that he knew that his eyes could not hide it from her. "I am bothered about something, Meg. There's an ugly report going about I've made up my mind to tell you." "Report about whom? You?" Meg's eyes showed battle. The Lampton fighting instinct was roused. "No, I wish it was about me I'd soon settle it!"
Through a labyrinth of narrow streets, echoing with native cries and Oriental traffic, a wonderful sight and sensation to strangers unfamiliar with Cairene commercial life, Margaret Lampton found her way to "the home of enchantment," as she afterwards called the Iretons' ancient mansion. It was a native house, typical and expressive of the most resplendent years of the Mameluke rule in Egypt.
Michael's voice trembled as he asked the question; it was so hard to keep cool. "The Government is entitled to expropriate any land containing antiquities on paying a valuation and ten per cent. over, but this, of course, was not private property. It belongs to the Government." "Yes, of course. I know something about these new rules I have been working with Lampton in the Valley." "Oh!"
I should think, said I, that Mr. Lampton must have no lack of cases among such enlightened clients. Clients, sir, said my friend, Mr. Lampton is not a lawyer.
The news had spread far and wide that "Mistrr Lampton" had discovered a new tomb and one which presumably had never been entered. Freddy knew that this news would spread, would be carried on the wings of the morning in a manner which no European can ever discover. Means of transmitting news is one of the secrets which no native in Africa, North or South, has ever divulged to an European.
