A small black terrier dog had followed them in, but the first lady turned and handed the thin steel chain with which she led it to the Mameluke attendant. 'You had better keep Fortune outside, Roustem, said she, in a peculiarly sweet musical voice. 'The Emperor is not very fond of dogs, and if we intrude upon his quarters we cannot do less than consult his tastes.
Bardissi is convinced that he does, and also convinced that he and Mohammed are in perfect accord with each other.

"Mourad and Ibrahim united themselves to rule together in brotherly love. They united their forces against Ismail, and they prevailed against him he was overthrown and murdered, extinguished like a light that has shone but a brief day.
