"This is the number on the letter." "You let me see, please?" Hassan asked. "Sure, Hassan." The dragoman took the letter and examined it. He chuckled. "Samehni, ya sidi. That mean excuse, sir. Small mistake. You reading backward. Number is 2205." "But how can that be?" Rick asked. "Arabic goes backward from English." "Maybe so with words," Hassan said. "But numbers not so. This number is 2205.
The other, Sidi Mustapha Azouz, had the character of being a very clever and good man, which also his intelligent and benevolent appearance betokened, and not a fanatic, like Amour Abeda of Kairwan. There were at the time of our visit to him about two hundred people in his courtyard, who all subsisted on his charities.
Then, as if dismissing the subject, he asked Sidi what had happened in the town, and whether they had been questioned by any as to their business. "The principal thing, father, that has happened to us is, that we again met the two men who attacked me at Alexandria, and were beaten and turned out of the city, and as it happened then, I should have lost my life had it not been for my brother."
How we hear Moll's sweet voice through the walls of her prison, and speak two words with her though almost to our undoing. Having written his letter, Sidi ben Ahmed proposed that Mrs. Godwin should await the return of Moll before setting out for England, very graciously offering her the hospitality of his house meanwhile, and this offer she willingly accepted.
In addition to Tarzan, Abdul, the sheik, and his daughter were four of the wild plainsmen of the sheik's tribe who had accompanied him upon the trip to Sidi Aissa. Thus, seven guns strong, they entertained little fear of attack by day, and if all went well they should reach Bou Saada before nightfall.
A hundred of my men will ride with them as a guard, and to drive the animals. "With the others I shall, if the Franks do damage here, harass them on their retreat, and by dashing among them at night will do them such harm that they may regret the day that they came hither. Sidi will start in the morning with the women and camels of his father's branch of the tribe.
No, I will not ask her to become a spy, but I will lead her, in conversation, to tell me all she knows, or at least is willing to communicate, about Sidi Hassan; and perchance some good may come of it." "It may be so," said the Dey; "and where and when dost thou propose to meet with her?" "Here, and to-morrow." "How! in the palace?" "Yes.
He was an unqualified success; yet he had been far happier when distributing Testaments in Spain. The greyness and inaction of domestic life, even when relieved by occasional excursions with Sidi Habismilk and the Son of the Miracle, were irksome to his temperament, ever eager for occupation and change of scene. He was like a war-horse champing his bit during times of peace.
This Sidi Tart'ri, who has left such a merry memory around the Kasbah, is no other than our Tartarin, as will be guessed. How could you expect things otherwise? In the lives of heroes, of saints, too, it happens the same way there are moments of blindness, perturbation, and weakness.
Yet another one is the humble Sidi Murzouk, the negroes' sanctuary, among the sand-hills on the middle heights. These are three representative types of a hundred, at least.
