"Oh, no! it's not possible!" she cried. "You're so beautiful, and so fair. He's so so " "Hideous. Don't be afraid to say the word to me. I love you for it. But because Tahar's not deformed from birth, and the strength and beauty of the line isn't threatened, his looks make no difference to my father.
Ourïeda told it, while overhead on the balcony her Aunt Mabrouka Tahar's mother chatted of the merchants in Djazerta who sold silks from Tunis and perfumes from Algiers. The plan was very hateful, very dangerous and treacherous. But it was to save Ourïeda.
"He drew nearer to her. "'Mademoiselle has seen again the horseman and his burden. "She bowed her head. All things seemed dream-like to her. Tahar's voice was low and monotonous, and sounded far away. "'It is fate, he said. He paused, gazing upon her. "'In the tents they all sleep, he murmured.
There was much feasting, with music and strange dances in Tahar's tent at night, and outside, fantasia for the douar in honour of the wedding; sheep roasted whole, and "powder play."
"These eagles will not be able to hunt for weeks now." Owen cursed himself and the universe, Allah and the God of Israel, Christ and the prophets. "But, Sidna, their hunger can be excited by a drug, and this drug is Tahar's secret." "Then to-morrow we start, though there be sand storms or rain storms, whatever the weather may be." The dragoman condoned Owen's mistake in feeding the eagles.
What was going on in the bride's half of her father's great tent Max did not know, but he fancied that, above the beating of Tahar's tomtoms and the wild singing of an imported Arab tenor, he could hear soft, distant wailings of the ghesbah and the shrill "You you you!" of excited women.
It was poor pride in her, a mean little feeling. "Come with me," she said. They went on together. The Arabs, stirred up by the fracas in Tahar's cafe, were seething with excitement, and several of them, gathered together in a little crowd, were quarrelling and shouting at the end of the street near the statue of the Cardinal. Domini's escort saw them and hesitated.
They made me say good-bye to her in Tahar's tent, where she is waiting, all dressed up like a doll, till the hour at night when her husband chooses to come to her. Instead, we hope But I can hardly bear it, not to know! Shall we ever know?" "It may be a long time before Manöel can send us any word," said Max. "But we shall hear, I suppose, about Tahar."
He was too annoyed to answer his dragoman.... Enfin, Tahar had left his eagles at Ain Mahdy, and Owen fed them morning and evening, gorging them with food, not knowing that one of the great difficulties is to procure in the trained eagle sufficient hunger to induce him to pursue the quarry. It was an accident that some friend of Tahar's surprised Owen feeding the eagles and warned him.
"I see nothing attractive in them." Domini knew that he was telling her a lie. Had she not seen him watching the dancing girls in Tahar's cafe? Anger rose in her. She said to herself then that it was anger at man's hypocrisy. Afterwards she knew that it was anger at Androvsky's telling a lie to her. "I can scarcely believe that," she answered bluntly. They looked at each other.
