No other of the homesick subalterns drove away with a six-man escort to clear the way and scatter sparks! They careered round through the narrow gate of the hotel courtyard as though a Viceroy at least were in the trap behind them; and Mahommed Gunga six medaled, strapping feet of him dismounted and held out an arm for him to take when he alighted.
Finally the Prince fell to thinking if there was any person the actual governor of the Castle would quietly permit to go masquerading in his authority and title. Then everything pointed him to Prince Mahommed.
These horsemen of Alwa's rode, and looked, and laughed like soldiers, new-stripped of the hobble ropes of peace, and their very seat in the untanned saddles tight down, loose-swaying from the hips, and free was confirmation of Mahommed Gunga's words.
"Where wilt thou sleep, Saadat?" he asked. "The pasha will sleep yonder," David replied, pointing to another room. "I will sleep here." He laid a hand upon the couch where he sat. Nahoum rose and, salaaming, followed Mahommed to the other room. In a few moments the house was still, and remained so for hours.
This had been an intermittent disease with him almost since the day Mahommed Selim had been swallowed up by the Soudan; for, like her mother before her, Soada had no mind to be a mat for his feet.
I know he is not too proud to be taught by them. Once, marching upon the Holy City, they laid siege to Nicea, and after a time discovered they could not master it without first mastering Lake Ascanius. Mahommed became thoughtful. "If my Lord does not distribute the guns; if he confines his attack to St. Romain, the enemy, in the day of assault, can meet him at the breach with his whole garrison.
In the morning En-Noor sent a message, to the effect that he could not see us unless we had made up our minds to give him the seven hundred dollars. He is getting more and more bold and impertinent. I deputed Mahommed Tunisee and the Sfaxee to him as negotiators.
There was a satanic humour in the situation pleasant to the soul of Mahommed Seti, if soul his subconsciousness might be called. In the presence of his regiment, drawn up in the Beit-el-Mal, before his trembling bimbashi, whose lips were now pale with terror at the loss of his mascot, Mahommed Seti was drummed out of line, out of his regiment, out of the Beit-el-Mal.
Now tell me over again from the beginning what you know about the political situation in Howrah. Quickly, please. Consider yourself a scout reporting to his officer." Ten minutes later Cunninham heard a commotion by the parapet, and stalked off to find Alwa, close followed by Mahommed Gunga.
I placed in their hands one by one the cigarettes, and with their blessings following me I lost myself in the dusk and waited." Mahommed Seti paused. On his face was a smile of sardonic retrospection. "Go on, you fool!" grunted Fielding. "Nineteen sick men, unworthy followers of the Prophet, thanked Allah in the mosque to-day that their lives were spared.
