I hadn't the the cheek to expect anything of the kind, except . . I say, were you out riding anywhere the day I passed by to Khanda?" William nodded, and smiled after the manner of an angel surprised in a good deed. "Then it was just a speck I saw of your habit in the " "Palm-grove on the Southern cart-road.
It appears that the Mezzeni, bent on accomplishing their purpose, gathered together their force, and, following us at dromedary speed, arrived at the encampment as early as two o'clock in the morning that a deputation from them came to Suleiman, while some of the rest remained in the palm-grove, and others went in advance, and formed ambuscades that Sheikh Furriqh was one of the deputation that Suleiman shewed them the usual hospitality of breaking bread with them that the conference ended without any adjustment of the matter in dispute that after the deputation had retired to the copse, two Arabs of a neutral tribe, who had come with us from Mount Sinai, went to the Mezzeni in order to mediate, but were unsuccessful that while they remained Suleiman was sent for, and that having broken bread with the Mezzeni, he had a right to expect that his life would be held sacred that Suleiman had scarcely reached the adverse party, when Sheikh Furriqh said "We do not care about the money, but there is blood between us;" that instantly one of the Mezzeni shot him through the body, and that Furriqh cut him down with his sabre, while two other shots which were fired took effect upon him.
By this time she was shrouded in total darkness, for the moon was still hidden by black clouds. Memphis was already behind her, and the chariot was passing through a tall-stemmed palm-grove, where even at mid-day deep shades intermingled with the sunlight.

On my way I found a cocoanut fallen to the ground, and as I felt hungry, having taken off the rind, I sucked the milk, and then breaking the shell, ate as much of the fruit as I felt inclined to take.
The barking of the dogs about that man's ranche was the first thing that checked his speed. He had forgotten the dogs. He swerved sharply, and plunged into the palm-grove, as into a wilderness of columns in an immense hall, whose dense obscurity seemed to whisper and rustle faintly high above his head.
At these words Bent-Anat looked now at Ameni, trembling with excitement, now at Pentaur standing opposite to her. Her face was red and white by turns, as light and shade chase each other on the ground when at noon-day a palm-grove is stirred by a storm. The poet took a step towards her.

A few lateen sails moved like pale, gigantic birds over the dark waters; but now from the north and from the city a larger mass came towards the palm-grove with bright, gleaming eyes of light. "A fine boat, the governor's no doubt," said the merchant, as it slowly came towards the grove from the middle of the stream.
William nodded, and smiled after the manner of an angel surprised in a good deed. 'Then it was just a speck I saw of your habit in the 'Palm-grove on the Southern cart-road. I saw your helmet when you came up from the nullah by the temple just enough to be sure that you were all right. D'you care?
The old priests, who conducted the service of the Goddess, had received the daughter of Rameses with respect, and undertook to restore her to cleanness by degrees with the help of the water from the mountain-stream which watered the palm-grove of the Amalekites, of incense-burning, of pious sentences, and of a hundred other ceremonies.
