It would be The Hawk, she thought suddenly. He had ridden Shaitan to-day, and he always used one or other of the two for long journeys.

In the name of your Holy Child, or of Shaitan of the Mohammedans, or of Set of the Egyptians, answer me, lest I should make an end of both of you, which I can do here without any questions being asked," and I whipped out my pistol. "Pardon us," said Harût with a grave smile, "but if you were to do as you say, Lord Macumazana, many questions would be asked which you might find it hard to answer.
Tell her that my lord will take her to wife, even as he took Fenzileh, that he may lead her into the True Belief and cheat Shaitan of so fair a jewel. Add that I am bidden to buy her though she cost my lord a thousand philips. Bear her that message, O father of wind, and may Allah increase thy paunch!" And he was gone, lithe, active, and mocking.
'Eight annas, and I will tell, said Kim, grinning. 'It touches thy peace. 'O Shaitan! Mahbub gave the money. 'Rememberest thou the little business of the thieves in the dark, down yonder at Umballa?

The smoke from his own guns obscured the view, and the necessity for giving orders to his men prevented him from watching as he would have wished.

But the insulting words were scarcely uttered than Sakr-el-Bahr's great hand had taken the wazeer by the nape of his fat neck, a growl of anger running through the assembly to approve him. "By the favour of Shaitan, sayest thou, thou sex-less dog?" he growled, and tightened his grip so that the wazeer squirmed and twisted in an agony of pain.
At last he had drawn her, pumped her dry, as he imagined. Indeed, indeed, he thought, he had been right to say she was not subtle. He had been a fool to have permitted himself to be intrigued by so shallow, so obvious a purpose. He shrugged and turned away from her. "Depart in peace, O Fenzileh," he said. "I yield her to none be his name Asad or Shaitan."

The very spirit of Shaitan had entered into my soul; if they were devils, then was I the prince of devils in my resolve to defy them. "I was but faintly conscious of my surroundings, when I heard a whispered colloquy among the priests disguised as robbers. "'We must not kill him, I heard one voice say. 'Only if he lives shall we recover the Ganapati.
The next instant the door was flung wide open, and the collie, rushing into the room, performed an ecstatic dance round him, barking and whining with delight. He put down the flowers and stooped to pat the dog. "Well, Shaitan, how are you, old man? Yes, it's really I. Shake hands, like a good dog!" The hard, sullen look came into Zita's face. "Shall we go to dinner?" she asked coldly.
