Cousin Hylda, my heart was in my mouth as I heard them yelling behind me and I never enjoyed a dinner so much in my life. Would the Saadat have run from them? Say, he'd have stayed and saved his life too. Well, give my love to the girls! Your affectionate cousin, Tom LACEY. P.S.-There's no use writing to me. The letter service is bad.
When the Saadat was in England there was a bad time in Egypt. I was in Cairo; I know. It was the same bad old game the corvee, the kourbash, conscription, a war manufactured to fill the pockets of a few, while the poor starved and died. It didn't come off, because the Saadat wasn't gone long enough, and he stopped it when he came back.
Had not the Saadat always ridden over all that had been in his way? Had not he, Mahommed, ever had plenty to eat and drink, and money to send to Manfaloot to his father there, and to bribe when bribing was needed? Truly, life was a boon!
The old lank straightness was gone, the shoulders were bent, the head was thrust forward, as though the long habit of looking into dark places had bowed it out of all manhood. "May grass spring under thy footstep, Saadat," he said, in a thick voice, and salaamed awkwardly he had been so long absent from life's formularies. "What dost thou here, pasha?" asked David formally.
"And thee has had a message to-night?" "The last that may come God be praised, he goeth to his long home. It was written in his last hour. There was no hope; he is gone. And so, one more reason showeth why I should go where thou goest, Saadat." Casting his eyes toward the figure by the acacia-tree, his face clouded and he pondered anxiously, looking at David the while.
He was not a fluent man, save in forbidden language, and Seti added: "Behold thou, saadat el bey, who opens a man's body and turns over his heart with a sword-point, and sewing him up with silken cords bids him live again, greatness is in thy house! Last night thy friend, Donovan Pasha, gave into my hands a score of those cigarettes which are like the smell of a camel-yard.
"It's worth not being original, Saadat, to hear you thee and thou me as you used to do. It's like old times the oldest, first times. You've changed a lot, Saadat." "Not in anything that matters, I hope." "Not in anything that matters to any one that matters. To me it's the same as it ever was, only more so. It isn't that, for you are you.
There was probably no sincere friend to raise a warning; and the doom deepened and the hand wrote upon the wall unheeded. The country was overrun with wickedness and wasted with misery. The disgrace of the unsuccessful Saadat returning from Ajmir, was enhanced by his vainly attempting to strike a blow at the Empress and her favourite.
Along the bank of the Nile thousands of Arabs and fellaheen crowded to welcome "the Saadat," bringing gifts of dates and eggs and fowls and dourha and sweetmeats, and linen cloth; and even in the darkness and in the trouble that was on her, and the harrowing regret that she had not been with Eglington in his last hour she little knew what Eglington had said to Faith in that last hour Hylda's heart was soothed by the long, loud tribute paid to David.
The Saiyids were soon overthrown, their ruin being equally desired by Chin Kulich, the head of the Turkish party, and Saadat Ali, the newly-arrived adventurer from Persia. These noblemen now formed the rival parties of Turan and Iran; and became distinguished, the one as founder of the principality of Audh, abolished in 1856, the other as that of the dynasty of Haidarabad, which still subsists.
