He was tanned and ragged and bearded and thin, and there was a weird brilliance in his eyes, which watched his companions closely. So fierce and frenzied were the actions of those with him, that the attention of the Khedive was drawn; and Sadik, looking at his master, saw that his eyes also were intently fixed on the little man.
In the meantime, Mubarak's slumbers were broken, and seeing us both in tears, he was greatly affected, and said, "Be comforted; I have an ointment which I will rub over the body of this fair one; from the smell of it the heart of Maliki Sadik will be disgusted, and he will perhaps abandon her to you."
Even Sadik the Mouffetish Sadik, who had four hundred women slaves dressed in purple and fine linen Sadik, whose kitchen alone cost him sixty thousand pounds a year, the price of whose cigarette ash-trays was equal to the salary of an English consul even Sadik, foster-brother, panderer, the Barabbas of his master, was silent and watchful to-day.
"But not wise, Highness, till my story is told." "Sadik Pasha suspects you." "I suspect Sadik Pasha," answered Dicky. "Of what?" inquired Ismail, starting. "He is true to me Sadik is true to me?" he urged, with a shudder; for if Sadik was false in this crisis, with Europe clamouring for the payment of debts and for reforms, where should he look for faithful knavery?
The meritorious Abdul Hay Arab has established a new centre in London for calling to Islam, and the Mufti Muhammad Sadik has delivered a speech in English in the mosque on 'the object of human life which can only be attained through Moslem guidance. Many English men and women were present and put questions which were answered in a conclusive manner.
He watched the effect of it on the Khedive; but Ismail had seen all this before, and he took it in the stride. This was not sufficient. Sadik racked his brain to think who in the palace or in official life might be made the scapegoat, upon whom the dark spirit in the heart of the Khedive might be turned.
He saw that Sadik half suspected something, he saw that Dicky's three companions suspected, and his mind was made up on the instant things should take their course he would not interfere. He looked Dicky squarely in the face, and Dicky knew that the Khedive's glance said as plainly as words: "Fool of an Englishman, go on! I will not kill you, but I will not save you.
When Dicky left the Khedive at midnight, he thought he saw a better day dawning for Egypt. He felt also that he had done the land a good turn in trying to break the shameless contract between Ismail and Sadik the Mouffetish; and he had the Khedive's promise that it should be broken, given as Ismail pinned on his breast the Order of the Mejidieh.
Even Sadik the Mouffetish Sadik, who had four hundred women slaves dressed in purple and fine linen Sadik, whose kitchen alone cost him sixty thousand pounds a year, the price of whose cigarette ash-trays was equal to the salary of an English consul even Sadik, foster-brother, panderer, the Barabbas of his master, was silent and watchful to-day.
Their articles of clothing are two in number the sadik and the simbre. The former, which by many natives is considered quite sufficient, is a strip of cloth worn round the loins. The simbre is a piece of white stuff, about four yards long and three broad, which is worn much like a toga.
