Be still, move noiselessly, and do not disturb his sleep! It may be the sleep of death. Be still, close the doors and draw the curtains, that no noise may reach him!" It is perfectly quiet in the room where Youssouf Bey lies. Sitta Nefysseh kneels beside him.
Striated green bulbuls go about in flocks which keep to the tops of trees. They utter a mellow warbling note. They are abundant about Darjeeling. Sitta himalayensis. Very abundant in the neighbourhood of Darjeeling. Dicrurus longicaudatus. The Indian Ashy Drongo. Certhia discolor. The Sikhim tree-creeper. This species displaces the Himalayan tree-creeper in the Eastern Himalayas.
"With you, O Sitta Nefysseh!" said L'Elfi, falling on his knee before her, "With you, whom I adore as one adores the sun and the stars. For your love, I can tolerate no rival! And now I beg you to withdraw, Osman Bey; I have that to say to Sitta Nefysseh which no other should hear." Osman regarded him fiercely.
"I should like to know if L'Elfi is privileged to advise or command Osman Bey Bardissi here, where it devolves upon Sitta Nefysseh alone to determine who shall go, and who remain." "Then decide, O Sitta!" said L'Elfi. "You shall both go; neither shall remain," replied she, sadly. "I see that you are still enemies. Oh, I tell you, you will reap a bitter harvest from this bitter seed.

This the viceroy cannot and will not do," cried the oualy. "Be contented if he sets the Sitta at liberty, and allows you to show her to the people."
I thank you for your advice, and will quickly proceed to raise money from the Sitta before she suspects any thing. I thank you once more for your advice, Mohammed, and I shall always remember that you are the shrewdest and most faithful of all those who surround me you perceive, I no longer say, of my servants.
Her women now come with other injured Mamelukes, who are placed on the mats Sitta Nefysseh had caused to be spread out for them in the adjoining room. Sitta Nefysseh forbids any one to enter the room where Youssouf lies. "He needs repose," said she, stepping into the adjoining room to see that the other wounded were being well cared for. "Youssouf Bey needs repose.
She is too old for him to love her. He can only have married her for her wealth and her name. Thus they might have spoken of the youth, of the hero I loved and adored, and for whom I would gladly have sacrificed my life." "And to whom you were yet so cruel, Sitta Nefysseh; to whom you caused so much suffering! For I have suffered, Sitta Nefysseh.
The viceroy commands that Mourad Bey's widow accompany me at once to his presence, to the citadel." "And with what right?" asked she quietly. "I know not and care not," said the official, with an air of indifference; "here is the order." He drew from his pocket a document, to which large seals were appended, and handed it to her. Sitta Nefysseh looked at it, and returned it with perfect composure.
