The swords were broad, straight, and long, and were indeed the very blades formerly wielded by the knights of Malta, having been sent from that island to Tripoli, where they were exchanged for bullocks and carried across the desert to Bornou, thence to Haussa, and, at last, re-mounted at Kano for the use of the inhabitants of almost all central Africa.
Returning to the place where their steeds had been left, the party re-mounted, and proceeded to the palace of the cadi. This palace, being situated in one of the narrow lanes of the town, had a very undignified and dull exterior. Indeed, no one could have imagined it to be a palace, but for the spiral columns of marble and other rich and costly carving around the entrance.
She had repented of her harshness. She had made up her mind to try to enter more into his secret soul. This was her silent way of showing it. He determined that if this were so he would start kissing her again that evening. It overcame him completely. He drove in one more peg, and re-mounted. "Mabel," he said that night at dinner, "It's good and sweet of you to have painted all those pegs white.
The ship was immediately repaired, the guns were re-mounted, and the gallant but unfortunate Bainbridge had the final misery of seeing his old command safely moored off the town, and about a quarter of a mile from the Pasha's castle. Preble heard of this catastrophe from an English frigate to which he spoke off Sardinia on his way to Tripoli.
He dismounted for an hour to allow his steed to rest itself, fed it with dates from his wallet, and gave it a drink of water at the stream. Then, when he felt that it had thoroughly recovered its strength and freshness, he re-mounted, and rode briskly on as before. He passed unchallenged, attracting no more notice than a person now-a-days would do in walking along a crowded street.
Supplied with this fluid, which having been made too thick required a good deal of water to thin it, Tottie again squared her elbows on the table; the parents sat down, and the Bu'ster re-mounted guard with the blotting-paper, this time carefully out of earshot. "Now, then, `dear sir," said Tottie, once more dipping her pen. "No, no; didn't I say, plain `Sir," remonstrated her father.
But if he take his neck out of Paris unstretched, he will have the fiend's own luck, and the Béarnais' to boot!" When the clerk had re-mounted the stairs, he heard voices in the back room. Felix and Marie were in consultation. The girl was a different being this morning.
All was found right, and we were let go to a neighbouring restaurant, where we swallowed a cup of coffee, our only meal betwixt Turin and Milan. After a full hour's halt, we re-mounted the diligence, and set forth. On emerging from the streets of the city, I found the east in the glow of dawn.
Turning about, therefore, he regained the entrance; and having refreshed himself in a fountain hard by, and re-mounted the hippogriff, felt an inclination to ascend as high as he possibly could in the air.
Again, his politeness was extreme, and he accompanied me to the door, where, amidst the chin-chins of his followers and the "military honours" of the assembled troops, I re-mounted my pony and galloped off home. The same afternoon I paid my visit to the Royal Prime Minister.
