The company, with the exception of Mr. Gilman, who had gone below apparently in order to avoid being on the same deck with Captain Wyatt had decided that Musa should be asked to play. Although the sound of his practising had escaped occasionally through the porthole of a locked cabin, he had not once during the cruise performed for the public benefit. Dancing was finished.
'Believe me, I know how to appreciate ... 'Have you got my letter? Musa asked suddenly. 'Yes. 'Where? 'In my pocket. 'Give it here ... quick, quick! I got out the scrap of paper. Musa snatched it in her rough little hand, stood still a moment facing me, as though she were going to thank me; but suddenly started, looked round, and without even a word at parting, ran quickly down the hill.
An envoy from Damascus arrested Musa in his camp; he was carried before his sovereign, disgraced by a public whipping, and died of a broken heart. INVASION OF FRANCE. Under other leaders, however, the Saracen conquest of France was attempted. In a preliminary campaign the country from the mouth of the Garonne to that of the Loire was secured.
She was so nervous that she could not listen, could not even follow Miss Ingate's simple remarks; she heard them as from a long distance, and grasped them after a long interval. Still, she was uplifted, doughty, and proud. The humiliation of the afternoon had vanished like a mist. Nay, she felt glad that Musa had behaved to her just as he did behave.
The Emîr himself admired his general usefulness, and the sons of Mûsa paid him money for his services. As a result of all this bustle there were fewer visits to the house of Mîtri, while the book and paint-box were perforce laid by. The excitement of Elias grew with every day.
"It will just serve those two right." She meant Miss Ingate and Tommy. No sooner did the taxi start than Musa began to cry. He did not seem to care that he was in the midst of a busy street, with a piquant widow by his side. "Why did you cry this afternoon, Musa?" Musa made no reply. Audrey was lighting the big lamp in the Moncreiff-Ingate studio.
The Doctor says, in commenting upon Musa's conduct, that he felt strongly tempted to shoot Musa and another ringleader, but was, nevertheless, glad that he did not soil his hands with their vile blood.
The whole dwelling was pathetic, and she thought of the splendours of her own daily life, of the absolute unimportance to her of such sums as would keep Musa in content for a year or for ten years, and of the grandiose, majestic, dazzling career of herself and Mr. Gilman when their respective fortunes should be joined together. And she mysteriously saw Mr.
Audrey, too, would have liked to retire, for automobiles and sensations had exhausted her; but just at this point her unreason had begun to operate. She would not leave Musa alone, because Miss Nickall was leaving him alone. Yet she did not feel at all benevolent towards Musa. She was angry with him for having quitted Paris.
The girl shrugged her shoulders, and all at once, as though she had received a sudden shove, got up from her chair. 'Why, Musa, Musotchka, Tarhov expostulated plaintively. 'Stay a little! 'No, no, I can't. She went quickly to the door, took hold of the handle.... 'Well, at least, take the book! 'Another time. Tarhov rushed towards the girl, but at that instant she darted out of the room.
