Turning he called sharply to the servile proprietor of the house, which for the first time was honoured by the presence of its redoubtable landlord. Salaaming until his tarboosh reached the level of his knees, the inwardly shaking Achmed stood before his two guests.
Surajah produced the document. The officer at once recognised the seal, and carried it to his forehead, salaaming deeply. "Your troopers can enter at the gate, but cannot proceed farther than the second wall." "Can we ride up, or must we walk?" Dick asked. "You can ride," he replied. "The road is steep, but nowhere so steep that horses cannot mount it."
I am on in this piece; but I'm afraid I'm getting rusty in my talk." He rose and went into Biel's bedroom where his trunk had been put, and shut the door. An hour later, we heard him say: "I hadn't the heart to part with my old makeups when I married. Will this do?" There was a lothely faquir salaaming in the doorway.
"It is not my way to hide, but when the storm comes it is well to shelter." Salaaming low, Mizraim withdrew, his last glance being thrown towards Hylda, who met his look with a repugnance which made her face rigid. She rose and put on her gloves. Nahoum rose also, and stood watching her respectfully. "Thee will go?" asked David, with a movement towards her. She inclined her head.
It was with difficulty that Garrofat choked down his rage at this latest failure of his plans to discomfit or destroy the prince. Doola, however, pressed forward to welcome Bright-Wits. Bowing and salaaming like a manikin he pranced across the court; and, as he drew near, Bright-Wits noticed that he carried in his hand a narrow strip of teak wood marked off into squares.
Through the plaster gate-posts, badly in want of repair, and bearing, sunk in one of them, a marble slab announcing "Residence with Board," she perceived the squalid attempt the place made at respectability, the servants in dirty livery salaaming curiously, the over-fed squirrel in a cage in the door, the pair of damaged wicker chairs in the porch, suggesting the easiest intercourse after dinner, the general discoloration.
Then continuing steadily, now and then being compelled to bend backwards in a most perilous position in order to negotiate a projecting piece of rock, we together climbed up to the edge of the fearful precipice, each being lent a willing hand by Babila as we swarmed upon our knees to where he stood. "Welcome, O Prince," the old man exclaimed, salaaming when Omar stood before him.
"Oh, as for that," he said, salaaming again in the fastidious manner of a native gentleman, "I know no other tongue than Pashtu and my own Rajasthani. My name is Kurram Khan. I ask admittance." He held up his wrist to show the gold bracelet, and high over his head the Rangar laughed like a bell. "Shabash!" he laughed. "Well done! Enter, Kurram Khan, and be welcome, thou and thy men.
"So there stood the Indian, bowing and salaaming most politely and when Rush had promised me he would send my Creme de menthe that very morning, I just looked through a wine list for a moment, and the Indian with quantities more bows came up to the counter and said, 'If you will have the great goodness to give me a little brandy bottle. So Rush gave it him, and instead of paying for it, what do you think he said?
The old Arab had finished his prayers and rose leisurely from his knees, salaaming with a broad smile. All the tribesmen smiled on her, and would go out of their way to win a nod of recognition from her.
