"And the Abati without such shreds of honour as still belong to them, my uncle." "Let us be wed, O Bud of the Rose, O Flower of Mur, and soon I will free you from the Fung.
In my own name and in that of the Abati people I promised to you as many camel-loads of this gold as you can carry away from Mur, and before the day is done I will show it to you if you dare follow me to where it lies hid." "First the work, then the pay," said Oliver. "Now tell us, Child of Kings, what is that work?" "This, O Son of Orme.
Nor were we always present, since, now that my patient was out of danger the Sergeant and I went out riding a good deal investigating Mur and its surroundings.

The levels below are full of them, dead or alive. They were pouring up at our heels. Well, no one will travel that road again." Later, in the guest house at Mur, Higgs told us his story.
So, having finished his oration, Quick went, and in due course we started for Mur. The second incident that is perhaps worth recording was an adventure that happened to us when we had completed about two of our four months' journey.
