"Thank you, thank you, Malluch," he said, heartily, at the conclusion; "you have done well no one could have done better. Now what say you of the young man's nationality?" "He is an Israelite, good master, and of the tribe of Judah." "You are positive?" "Very positive." "He appears to have told you but little of his life." "He has somewhere reamed to be prudent. I might call him distrustful.
The son of Jahath, the son of Gershom, the son of Levi. And their brethren the sons of Merari stood on the left hand: Ethan the son of Kishi, the son of Abdi, the son of Malluch, The son of Hashabiah, the son of Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah, The son of Amzi, the son of Bani, the son of Shamer, The son of Mahli, the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of Levi.
To-morrow Malluch would arrive; then the search should be immediately begun. He was impatient to be about it. To amuse himself he would visit the sacred places in the vicinity. The secret, we may be sure, weighed heavily on the woman, but she held her peace. When he was gone she busied herself in the preparation of things good to eat, applying her utmost skill to the work.
"Esther, ring quick!" She went to the table, and rang a service-bell. One of the panels in the wall swung back, exposing a doorway which gave admittance to a man who passed round to the merchant's front, and saluted him with a half-salaam. "Malluch, here nearer to the chair," the master said, imperiously. "I have a mission which shall not fail though the sun should. Hearken!
Better than that, better than all the imperial revenues from the first year of the first Caesar I will make this race to humble my enemy. Vengeance is permitted by the law." Malluch smiled and nodded as if saying, "Right, right trust me a Jew to understand a Jew." "The Messala will drive," he said, directly.
His spirit was high; more than one altar was richer of his vows; the Roman genius was still president. On the three pillars only six hundred feet away were fame, increase of fortune, promotions, and a triumph ineffably sweetened by hate, all in store for him! That moment Malluch, in the gallery, saw Ben-Hur lean forward over his Arabs, and give them the reins.
"A mighty man from the Desert, somewhere beyond Moab, and owner of camels in herds, and horses descended, they say, from the racers of the first Pharaoh Sheik Ilderim by name and title." Thus Malluch replied. The driver meanwhile exerted himself to quiet the four, but without avail. Each ineffectual effort excited the sheik the more. "Abaddon seize him!" yelled the patriarch, shrilly.
"As thou art a son of Judah, Malluch, and faithful to thy kin, get thee a seat in the gallery over the Gate of Triumph, down close to the balcony in front of the pillars, and watch well when we make the turns there; watch well, for if I have favor at all, I will Nay, Malluch, let it go unsaid! Only get thee there, and watch well." At that moment a cry burst from Ilderim. "Ha!
As they neared the second goal, Ben-Hur turned in behind the Roman's car. The joy of the Messala faction reached its bound: they screamed and howled, and tossed their colors; and Sanballat filled his tablets with wagers of their tendering. Malluch, in the lower gallery over the Gate of Triumph, found it hard to keep his cheer.
"How is it, then?" said Ben-Hur, who had been listening unmindful of the slow gait of the dromedaries. "I saw the sheik tear his beard while he cursed himself that he had put trust in a Roman. Caesar, had he heard him, might have said, 'I like not such a friend as this; put him away." "It would be but shrewd judgment," Malluch replied, smiling. "Ilderim is not a lover of Rome; he has a grievance.
