I watched the Turks trafficking, jingling their ancient rusty balances, manipulating their Turkish weights the oko is not Russian and giving what was probably the most marvellous short weight in Europe. The three-pound oko was often little more than a pound. A native of Trebizond came and sat at our table.
"There is something about you that reminds me of a pudding, and you tapped the drum, didn't you? I believe I shall call you Tappy Oko, if you don't mind!" The Scarecrow seated himself on a silver bench and motioned for the Imperial Punster to sit down beside him. Tappy Oko sat down fearfully, first making sure that he was not observed.
They heard it in ominous silence, and the chief spoke a few words to his interpreter, who instantly turned to Guy and announced, in very imperfect English, that nothing could be done until Oko Sam was released from his captivity.
The trousers of the Christians all very tight, the trousers of the Mahometans baggy, rainbow-coloured it is a jealous point of difference in these parts that the Turk keeps four or five yards of spare material in the seat of his trousers. What a din! what a clamour! "Kopeika, kopeika, kopeika." "Oko tre kopek, oko tre kopek, oko tre kopek."
"Yes, Oko Sam is the chief." "Then Sir Arthur Ashby and Colonel Carrington are close at hand," exclaimed Guy. "And Momba," added Melton fervently. "All may be saved yet." "And was it to Oko Sam your comrades were sold as slaves?" cried Canaris. "Why did you not mention his name before? I could have told you this long ago." "I never thought of it," rejoined Guy. "I gave them up as lost forever.
A nervous shiver passed through Guy as he recognized the repulsive face of his old enemy, and instinctively he pulled his burnouse closer around his head. Oko Sam darted a curious glance at the two motionless figures on the camels and then advanced to meet the head man, who broke off the conference and greeted his newly arrived chief in a most servile manner.
