The party of Fellatas, which were reported to have taken possession of a Yarriba town, on the banks of the Moussa, were said to have abandoned it, and to have joined their countrymen at Raka. This intelligence was brought to Katunga by market people, no one having been sent by the king to ascertain the number of the adventurers, or the object of their visit.
Not much hope of being able to fasten on his throat like a young leopard on a dibatag, kudu or impala buck. As Moussa sat behind him at the tiller, he would regard the villain's neck with interest, his fat neck, just below and behind the big ear.
"Meanwhile you are forgetting your breakfast," said Dawson, as he rose. "What will you have?" Calder leaned ever so slightly forward with his eyes quietly resting on Durrance.

"Our father had three sons myself, the eldest, and Mohammed, my brother here present, and by another wife, Moussa, his youngest boy, and, as often happens, his favourite. My father was but seldom in Bagdad, being almost constantly engaged abroad in one foreign war or another.

Moussa Isa regarded curses, cruelties, blows, wounds, attempts at murder, as mere natural manifestations of the attitude of their originators, and part of the inevitable scheme of things. Insults to his personal and racial Pride were in another category altogether.
Then he said to him, "Stand there," pointing to the middle of the floor, and seated himself on the divan in the attitude of a judge. "Now, Mr. Rad el Moussa, I advise you to understand what's going to be said to you now, so that it'll be a lesson to you in the future. "I came to you, not very long ago, asking for your card to the Kady.
In the present company no thought of the fire-arm entered his head this was a knifing, back-stabbing outfit; none here who stood up to shoot and be shot at in fair fight.... The Leading Gentleman looked many times and hard at Moussa Isa during the second day of his own starvation, which was the third of that of his companions and the fourth of Moussa's.
