They were brought to the Padishah, who was enchanted by their beauty, and ordered that they should be conveyed to Stambul, to the Sultana Asseki, with the message that he himself would not be long after them. Moreover, he patted Abdi on the shoulder, and protested with tears in his eyes that there was none in the world whom he loved better.
I saw him kiss the Black Stone, and by virtue of the kiss he lived.... Ay, stand back or if you touch him, or one of these in his charge, and escape his hand, ye shall not escape the Padishah, whose first sword he is, even as Khalid was first sword for the Prophet exalted be his name!... Give me thy hand, O valiant Emir." He kissed the Count's hand.
Let the honourable Kiaja therefore gird up his loins, and let all those great lords who repose in the shadow of the Padishah draw their swords and come among us once for all.
"Because, as thou mayst see, we also are of the Faithful, and do not wish harm to any whose mothers have taught them to begin the day with the Fah-hat." The fellow was impressed. "Who art thou?" "I am the Emir Mirza, of the household of our Lord the Padishah to whom be all the promises of the Koran! These are slaves I selected for him all these thou seest in bonds.
And the newly wed wife of Saif Khan, standing at her feet, said, "The voice of the beloved husband is as the Call of the Angel. Let the Padishah be summoned." "Inhallah! May the will of the Issuer of Decrees in all things be done! Ascribe unto the Creator glory, bowing before his Throne."

The Padishah approached her and tenderly enfolded her in his arms. "Wherefore wouldst thou die out of my life, oh, thou light of my days?" The Sultana covered her face with her hands.

The trembling Viziers prostrated themselves before him. "O our Lord, the Padishah," they cried, "Saleh-Reis comes from Alexandria with a rich convoy; somewhere lurking is Andrea Doria, the accursed; it was necessary, O Magnificent, to send succour." There was a pause, in which the hearts of men beat as do those who know not but that the next moment may be their last on earth.
I fancy I was a bit too sure and eager with my bid, and some of the others spotted the fact that I was in the know. And Padishah went for that particular bird like an irresponsible lunatic. At last the Jew diamond merchant got it for £175, and Padishah said £180 just after the hammer came down so Potter declared. At any rate the Jew merchant secured it, and there and then he got a gun and shot it.
As a rule it only happens in the time of greatest danger, for it signifies that the time has come for every true Mussulman to quit hearth and home, his shop and his plough, snatch up his weapons, and hasten to the assistance of Allah and his Anointed, and accursed would be reckoned every male Osmanli who should hesitate at such a time to lay down his life and his estate at the feet of the Padishah.
