"Plenty of time to go and call on Suleyman to-morrow." "I will search for him, even unto the uttermost ends of the earth!" "That's right you're sure to find him in one of them. Only, don't you see, it's no use starting to-night the last trains have gone long ago."
'But the experience of other, older men must weigh with me. 'Let other men judge people as they find them, and do thou likewise, said Suleymân. 'He urged me to give up this aimless wandering and go with him in search of an old Greek inscription, not far off. Within four days he hopes to see El Cuds again; and thence he urged me to return to England.
"Personally," said Horace, "a waddle doesn't strike me as particularly fascinating it's quite a matter of taste. Do you happen to have seen this enchantress lately?" "My eyes have not been refreshed by her manifold beauties since I was enclosed by Suleyman whose name be accursed in the brass bottle of which thou knowest. Why dost thou ask?"
Charles replied that he had fought against pirates, not against the Sultan's vassals; but Suleymān could not perceive the distinction, and emphasized his disapproval by giving Dragut twenty galleys, which soon found their way to Christian shores. The lamentations of his victims roused Doria, who had the good fortune to surprise the Corsair as he was greasing his keels in the strait behind Jerba.
'So say the Franks, replied Suleymân, shrugging his shoulders up and spreading wide his hands, as though before a wall of blind stupidity which he knew well could never be cast down nor yet surmounted. 'Our governors, our judges, and the crowd of small officials are not highly paid, and what they do receive is paid irregularly.
'Our cook is snatched from us, was the reply, 'and to-night we have invited friends to dinner. 'Is he a good cook? asked the judge, with feeling. 'If your Excellency will restore him to us, and then join us at the meal 'How can I be of service in this matter? I motioned to Suleymân to tell the story, which he did so well that all the company were soon in fits of laughter.
'And as for the custom of the merchants, added Suleymân, 'in asking a much higher price than that which they at last accept, what would you have? Those merchants are rich men, who have enough for all their needs. Their aim is not that of the Frankish traders: to increase their wealth by all means and outdistance rivals.
His mouth hung open idiotically; his tongue lolled out. 'Now rise and kiss my boot. The cook obeyed. By that time there were murmurs of compassion from the would-be slayers. 'Spake I not truly? asked Suleymân. 'Aye, O sun of verity! He is quite mad, the poor one, said the old man who had acted spokesman. 'It were a sin for us to kill him, being in that state.
The other noted mosques of Constantinople are the Yeni Djami, or Mosque of the Sultana Valide, on the shore of the Golden Horn, at the end of the bridge to Galata; that of Sultan Bajazet; of Mahomet II., the Conqueror, and of his son, Suleyman the Magnificent, whose superb mosque well deserves this title.
But surround that vineyard with a high, strong wall, and every son of Adam will conceive the project of clearing it of every cluster. 'I should never think of such a thing. 'That is because your Honour is accustomed to restraints and barriers, said Suleymân. 'We, in the Sultan's dominions, have more freedom, praise to Allah! For us a high wall is an insult, save in cities.
