"Yes, they would, I acknowledge; but still it must be done." "It shall not be done," replied the lady: "Has my lord been visited by Heaven? or is he possessed by the Shitan?" And the lady burst into tears of rage and vexation as she quitted the apartment. "There's obstinacy for you women are nothing but opposition.
Doubtless this lion-slayer of Shitan, being famished, will not forget our prophecy, and ascribing its fulfilment to our bad omens, will, in his mood, sacrifice us to his empty stomach. "Your wisdom is great, Giaffar," replied the caliph; "the man is truly a savage, and doubtless will rage with hunger, nevertheless, we will go and see in what state he may be."
He hath been caught like a wild beast; it is a Frank Galiongi, who hath travelled as far as that son of Shitan, Huckaback; he was found in the streets, overpowered by the forbidden juice, after having beaten many of your highness's subjects, and the cadi would have administered the bamboo, but he was as a lion, and he scattered the slaves as chaff, until he fell, and could not rise again.
The cadi was about to pronounce his irrevocable fetva, when I took the liberty of interrupting this rapid course of justice. `O cadi, said I, `and ye, mollahs, whose beards drop wisdom, let your slave offer, at the footstool of justice, the precious proofs of innocence. `Produce them quickly then, thou wedded to Shitan and Jehanum, replied the cadi.
"Allah forbid," replied Giaffar; "I will myself encounter the wrath of this least of dogs may his grave he defiled." During this parley, their host, who had become more good-humoured in his cups, cast his eyes upon them. "What in the name of Shitan, are you chaps prating and chatting about?" inquired he. Giaffar, perceiving him in a more favourable mood, seized the occasion to speak.
Thus did I revenge my poor master, and relieved myself from any further molestation on the part of the aga. "What!" cried the pacha, in a rage, "you drowned a true believer an aga of janissaries! Thou dog of a kafir thou son of Shitan and dare avow it! Call in the executioner." "Mercy! your sublime highness, mercy!" cried the Greek "Have I not your promise by the sword of the prophet?
I recovered myself, and looking at it, found it to be alive, and, in the excess of my alarm, I imagined it to be Shitan himself; but if not the devil himself, it was one of the sons of Shitan, for it was an unbeliever, a Giaour, a dog to spit upon; in short, it was a Frank hakim so renowned for curing all diseases that it was said he was assisted by the Devil. "Lahnet be Shitan!
Doubtless this lion slayer of Shitan, being famished, will not forget our prophecy, and ascribing the fulfilment to our bad omens, will in his mood sacrifice us to his empty stomach." "Your wisdom is great, Giaffar," replied the caliph "the man is truly a savage, and doubtless will rage with hunger; nevertheless we will go and see in what state he may be."
Mustapha hastened to the assistance of his master, as did the two black slaves, when they heard the cries, and with some difficulty the talons of the old Jezebel were disengaged from the throat of the pacha, who, in his wrath, would have immediately sacrificed her. "Lahnet be Shitan! Curses on the devil!" exclaimed the pacha; "but this is pretty treatment for a pacha."
"What sayeth the son of Shitan?" demanded the pacha, impatiently. "The unbeliever declareth that his tongue is glued to his mouth from the terror of your highness's presence. He fainteth after water to restore him, and enable him to speak." "Let him be fed," rejoined the pacha. But Mustapha had heard enough to know that the sailor would not be content with the pure element.
