In the arbour was spread an exquisite prayer-rug, and for her there was a low chair, with a cushion before it for her feet. On a table was Turkish coffee. In silver boxes were cigarettes, matches, soft sweetmeats shrouded in powdered sugar, through which they showed rose-colour, amber, and emerald green.
Kneeling reverently on the solitary furniture of the room a prayer-rug from Medina he lost himself as completely in his devotions as though his life were an even current of unforbidden acts and motives.
He folded protecting hands over the threatened region and backed toward the prayer-rug, mumbling "Allah! Allah!" No matter whither he shifted, the eyes bored into him. "That's where you hit the gambler at Ogden," he heard Stover say it might have been from a great distance "but I aim for the bridge of the nose."
The third walked over the thistle, tentatively, flattened his wings to show his sash and shoulder-straps. "Good morning, good luck! You're still my Sign!" said Peter. The Red Admiral fluttered his wings again, as if he quite understood. He allowed Peter to admire his under wings, the fore-wings so exquisitely jeweled and enameled, the lower like a miniature design for an oriental prayer-rug.
She turned, and saw Baroudi praying, on a prayer-rug with a niche woven in it, which was duly set towards Mecca. She, the unbeliever, was encompassed by prayer. And something within her told her that the moment for flight already lay behind her, that she had let it go by unheeded, that the hands which already had touched her would not relax their grasp until what?
The cushions among which he sat had come from Constantinople, the rug at his feet from Tiflis, the prayer-rug on the wall from Mecca.

All that he had heard recalled to him his first readings in the Old Testament the story of Nebuchadnezzar, of Belshazzar, of Ahasuerus of Ahasuerus!
"Those college flags give it just the right touch. And see the cosey-corner!" Glass regained his voice sufficiently to murmur, sarcastically, "Say, ain't this a swell-looking drum?" "We've used every bit of bunting on the ranch," said Jean. "See the Mexican shawls!" Mrs. Keap added. "And look," cried Miss Blake, "I brought you my prayer-rug!"
I've been boring myself and everybody else to death, the past three months. What's up? Duel, maybe?" "Yes. That's just it, Bohannan. A duel." And the Master fixed strange eyes on his companion. His muscular fingers fell to tapping the prayer-rug on the table, drumming out an impatient little tattoo. "Duel? Lord's sake, man! With whom?" "With Fate. Now, listen!"

"Lead the way, your royal highness!" cried the ambassador; and the prince, offering Lady Rosalind his arm, went out into the hall, where he saw neither his carpet nor the horns and tail of the Firedrake! He turned quite pale, and said: "Will you kindly ask the servants where the little Persian prayer-rug and the parcel which I brought with me have been placed?"
