But Linforth made no answer to Ralston's probings.
"Go on," he said. "I wanted to go to Mecca," said Hatch, and Ralston nodded his head as though he had expected just those words. "I did not see how I was going to get there by myself," Hatch continued, "however carefully I managed my disguise." "Yet you speak Arabic," said Ralston. "Yes, the language wasn't the difficulty.
They usually did want them that way. He rose, leisurely enough, and made his way to the door. There, instead of the usual messenger boy, stood Alice. "You must come at once," she panted.
