"The syndic's house heh!" said the widow "Mynheer Van Krause. Why he is thorough king's man, by all report," continued she. "I don't understand it. But there is no trusting any man now-a-days. Babette, you must go there by-and-bye, and see if you can find out whether that person he brought over, and he called a king's messenger, is living at the syndic's house.
Believing I know his probity, I have induced him to remain, in view of my confidence in him for the public good." * * Thwaites, "Daniel Boone." Daniel, no doubt supposing that a Syndic's rights were inviolable, had neglected to apply to the Governor at New Orleans for a ratification of his grant. He was therefore dispossessed.
"From the syndic's, Mynheer Van Krause," replied Vanslyperken, not knowing what else to say, and thinking that the name of the syndic would be sufficient. "And what did the boat bring off, to occasion the delay, sir?" "A letter or two for England," replied Vanslyperken. "Very well, sir, I wish you a good morning," said the lieutenant, who then went into his boat, and Vanslyperken made sail.
When the great city revolted under Charles V., who tried to suppress its privileges, the head of the Claes family was so deeply compromised in the rebellion that, foreseeing a catastrophe and bound to share the fate of his associates, he secretly sent wife, children, and property to France before the Emperor invested the town. The syndic's forebodings were justified.
For a moment Louis' hang-dog face none the handsomer for the mark of the Syndic's cane spelt refusal. Then he changed his mind. He nodded sulkily. "Very well," he said. "But it is raining, and I have no great wish to Hush! What is that?" He raised his hand in the attitude of one listening and his eyes sought his companion's. "What is that? Did you not hear something like a scream upstairs?"
So he sent a little lad who brought her to the house wherein was the head man's stranger guest and she thanked him for this. When she reached the house, she went in and saluted the Syndic's wife, who rose and kissed the ground between her hands, for she knew her. Then quoth Kut al-Kulub, "Where is the sick man who is with thee?"
Suppose you get under way, and heave-to a mile outside, I will then come off in the syndic's barge. I can have the use of it. Then nothing will be discovered." Vanslyperken appeared to reflect again. "I shall still run a great risk, Mr Ramsay." "You will run some little, perhaps, but you will be well paid for it, I promise you." "Well, sir, I consent," replied Vanslyperken.
"Why, this affair " "Chaumontel's affair?" "No, his speculations in houses that he had built by people that were insolvent." Her curiosity is in the syndic's favor. "Sit down here. There, at this distance, I will behave well, but I can look at you."
"O my lady," said the Syndic's wife, "we love the poor and the destitute, more especially as reward in Heaven will recompense our love; and, as for these persons, haply the oppressor hath dealt hardly with them and hath plundered their property and harried their houses."
The syndic conducted her, and whilst she was going thither, Ganem's mother said to Jalib al Koolloob, "Alas! daughter, wretched as that sick stranger is, your brother, if he be living, is not perhaps in a more happy condition." The caliph's favourite coming into the chamber of the sick stranger, drew near the bed, in which the syndic's slaves had already laid him.
