She and the Emir's wife were continually sending me out choice bits from their dinner, but I had not before seen her face. She was evidently a good deal confused, at thus unveiling before a man, but Abu said: "'It is with my permission that you unveil, therefore there can be no harm in it. Besides, has not Mudil saved my life, and so become my brother? "He opened her mouth.
Abu told me that his wife, of whom he was very fond, was suffering very great pain from a tooth could I cure her? "I said that, without seeing the tooth, I could not do anything, and he at once said: "'As it is for her good, Mudil, I will bring her into this room, and she shall unveil so that you can examine the tooth. "She was quite a girl, and for an Arab very good looking.
I directed them how to lift one end against the horse, so that Saleh could slide down onto it. "'Wife, the Arab said, when this was done, 'by the will of Allah, who sent this stranger to my aid, I have returned alive. His name is Mudil. I cannot tell you, now, what he has done for me. This house is his. He is more than guest, he is master.
Must we always be fighting? I can see no way out of it. Can you, Mudil? "'I can see but one way, I said, 'and that may seem to you impossible, because you know nothing of the strength of England. We have, as you know, easily beaten the Egyptian Army; and we are now protectors of Egypt.
'She could hardly believe, when she came round, that the tooth was out. It is a relief, indeed. She has cried, day and night, for the past three days. "'Tell her that, for the rest of the day, she had better keep quiet; and go to sleep if possible, which I have no doubt she will do, as she must be worn out with the pain she has been suffering. "'I begin to see, Mudil, that we are very ignorant.
Were it known that you are a white man, you would be torn to pieces in the streets; and even were you to remain here, where assuredly none would dare touch you, the news would speedily travel to my lord the Mahdi, and he would send a troop of horse to bring you to him. Therefore, though I would fain honour you, I see that it is best that you should, to all save myself, continue to be Mudil.
"'I am not afraid of pain, Mudil. "I could touch the ball with my finger, but beyond feeling that the flesh in which it was embedded was not solid to the touch, I could do nothing towards getting the ball out. I dared not try to enlarge the wound, so as to get two fingers in. After thinking the matter over in every way, I decided that the only chance was to make a tool from the ramrod.
I will leave you with him for a few minutes. Please remember that everything depends upon his not being agitated. "I went out and joined the hakims. "'Truly, Mudil, Allah has given you strange gifts, one of them said.
