Let them all rest, for the morrow may be a day of great toil and fatigue. The sentinels thanked the sarechsme, and then lay down to sleep, their muskets at their side. Mohammed returned to his tent, lay down on his mat, and, supporting his head on his hand was soon absorbed in thought.
Remain in my palace to-day; tomorrow you shall have a house of your own. Now go and select the best of the horses. I hope you are a connoisseur, and will easily pick out the best one; it shall be delivered to you completely equipped." He calls a slave who stood waiting without, and commands him to conduct the sarechsme to the courtyard, and order the horses to be led before him.
Should I not return by that time, seek me." The defterdar, who hears every word of this, murmurs to himself: "It will be necessary to acquaint his highness with this, that he may be on his guard, and not detain the sarechsme in his fortress too long. The consequences might be dangerous." In humble terms he begs to be permitted to hasten in advance to announce his coming to the viceroy.
I rejoice in you, my star-eyed desert queen! Be assured, Mohammed Ali will never forget you. And now, tell me, will you not quite forget me either?" "No, that I will not, sarechsme." "Will you also be mindful of your promise to your father to allow him only to kiss you, who shall one day lead you to his home?" "I shall ever be mindful of this promise."
"The week within which I promised to pay them has not yet elapsed, four days still remain," said Cousrouf, suppressing his rage with difficulty; "therefore wait for your soldiers' pay, but you, Mohammed, you shall not wait. See how I honor and esteem you! There lie ten purses of gold-pieces, that is your salary. I joyously give it you out of my own private funds. Take your pay, my sarechsme!"
The people who pass the palace occupied by Mohammed as sarechsme, stand still, and gaze with curiosity at the changes and alterations being made there. Large numbers of laborers are engaged in repairing the injuries sustained by the building in the recent conflicts; in setting out trees and shrubbery in the garden, and in adorning it with rare flowers.
"But have you proofs of her guilt?" asked Mohammed. "Sitta Nefysseh is wise, and knows how to defend herself. Therefore proofs, and not the accusation only, are needed." "I shall secure proofs! When we are determined to accuse any one, proofs are never wanting. Else of what use were our clerks and police? And now you may go, sarechsme.
The soldiers who had heard all, cried loudly: "Long live our sarechsme! Long live Bardissi, our chief!" "Believe me, soldiers, he will give you your pay! Will you not, Bardissi?" "Yes, sarechsme, your soldiers shall receive their pay. I give you my word, they shall be paid to-morrow. Come to the citadel, to my defterdar to-morrow morning, and he will pay you."
Butheita, sweetest of maidens, speak to me! Speak to me, gazelle!" "See, sarechsme father waves his hand!" cried she. "He already sees us standing here; his eye is as keen as an eagle's. He sees us! Come, let us step back for a moment, I have something to say to you. To be sure I might have told you where we were," she continued, blushing, as she stepped behind the curtain.
How dare you force your way into the palace of the chief?" A smile lights up Bardissi's countenance. This is his friend Mohammed Ali. He will extricate him from his embarrassing position. Yes, it is he, the sarechsme, at whose approach the men respectfully fall back and make room. He enters the palace and hastens to Bardissi. "Oh, forgive me! I knew not that my soldiers had dared to come here.
