But the Begemder men would not plunder their own countrymen, and he did not place much confidence in the bravery of his Dembea men: therefore he pitted the man of Gahinte against the peasant of Ifag, the sons of Mahdera Mariam against those of Este all districts of the same province, but far distant from one another, and with long feuds existing between some of them.
All three men laughed, but the victim of their plans gave no sign. George was astonished at the workings of Naoum's power. He had already established a safeguard for him, even on the short journey to Cairo; what then would he do when at that place where Mariam Abagi was?
Mariam came in with his mid-day meal, and he tried to detain her and discuss his prospects of success, but the old woman would not listen, and the moment he opened his mouth to speak, she placed her finger mysteriously upon her lips and hurried from the room. There was no help for it, he must put up with his own thoughts and company, and bear the delay as best he could.
I, therefore, stated fairly, to the horror and amazement of all my hearers, that the Sheik, in my view, was likely to make a most capital husband, and that I entirely “approved of the match.” I left Nablus under the impression that Mariam would soon be delivered to her Mussulman lover.

Some Indo-Portuguese servants were on their knees, imploring Mary "Mariam, Mariam!" to save them. The Hindus were loud in their appeals to "Ram, Ram!" while the Muhammadans shouted "Allah, Allah!"
MARIAM ZÂMÂNI'S TOMB. A short distance further on, in the direction of Muttra, is the building supposed to have been originally the garden house of Sikandar Lodi, in which Mariam Zâmâni, one of Akbar's wives, is said to have been buried. It has been used for many years as a printing establishment for a Mission Orphanage. Other Buildings and Tombs at or near Agra
Landor was reduced to a following of four men. He went on, however, and had accomplished but three marches more when two more of his followers deserted him at night.
