But of all this, and a great deal more, Lancey had but a faint glimmering as he was led through the various corridors and rooms towards a central part of the building. Here he was shown into a small but comfortable apartment, very Eastern in its character, with a mother-of-pearl table in one corner bearing some slight refreshment, and a low couch at the further end.
"Oh Sandy, Sandy!" he said, in a voice of forced calmness, while he shook his head reproachfully, "many and many a time 'ave I prophesied that you would become a great man, but little did I think that you'd come to this a May'omedan and a Turk." Unable to say more, Lancey sat down on his cushion, clasped his hands over his knees, and gazed fixedly at his old friend and former idol.
The scout smiled, not because of what was said, which of course he did not understand, but because of the Englishman's expression. But time pressed; too much had already been lost. He therefore contented himself by giving Lancey a friendly slap on the shoulder and turned to the sergeant. "Gotsuchakoff," said he, "I'm out on special service, and have already been delayed too long.
"Why, where did you come from?" asked the scout in Turkish, which he was aware Lancey had been attempting to learn. "Dobri, my friend," replied the other solemnly, in English, "if this is a dream, it is the most houtrageous dream that I've 'ad since I was a babby. But I'm used to 'em now only I do wish it was morning."
"Not sure, but I think it was Montreux, on the Lake of Geneva." After all this sad news I found it impossible to enjoy the society of my eccentric friend, and much though I liked him, resolved to leave the place at once and make arrangements to quit the country. I therefore bade him farewell, and hastened back to the inn where I had left Ivanka and Lancey.
The Church which was then everywhere spoken against is everywhere known and respected; the mantle of Seabury, White, Hobart, Ravenscroft, Eliot, De Lancey, and Kemper has fallen on others, and her sons are in the forefront of that mighty movement which will people this land with millions of souls.
The Winslows, yes, and the Warringtons, they, they SHAN'T go down not while I have an ounce of strength or a grain of sanity. Nothing nothing but the best that is in us counts." I think Mrs. de Lancey and Garrick understood each other perfectly after that. He said nothing, in fact did not need to say anything, for he looked it.
But we shall want surgeons soon, and newspaper correspondence is not a bad business in these times; come, I'll see what can be done for you." We must turn now to poor Lancey, from whom I parted in the waters of the Danube, but with whose fate and doings I did not become acquainted until long afterwards.
"Wessyoocumfro?" Again Lancey repeated the word, and once more, with a smile of sudden intelligence, exclaimed, "Ah, I see: w'ere's you come from? Well, I last come from the water, 'avin' previously got into it through the hupsettin' of our boat."
"Just so; but before zat, I mean," said the Pasha, with a keen glance. Lancey was a bold and an honest man. He would not condescend to prevaricate. "I'm wery sorry, your your Pashaship, but, to tell the plain truth, I never did 'ear of you before that." "Well, zat matters not'ing. I do go now to sup vid von friend, Hamed Pasha he is called. You go vid me. Go, get ready."
