One of Cantor's hands gripped at Dave's throat. In the traitor's other hand flashed a narrow-bladed Mexican knife. "The score is settled at last!" hissed Cantor, as he drove the weapon down. It's the thought that can take shape in the hundredth part of a second that saves human life at such a crisis.
But, in spite of all blunders, and every sort of failure elsewhere, the Serasker was still advancing slowly towards his main objects the reduction of Ali Pacha. And by the end of October, on getting possession of an important part of Ali's works, he announced to the Sultan that he should soon be able to send him the traitor's head, for that he was already reduced to six hundred men.
He differs from the Heathen poet chiefly in this that he recognizes, for deliverance, no gods nigh at hand; and that, by petty chance by momentary folly by broken message by fool's tyranny or traitor's snare, the strongest and most righteous are brought to their ruin, and perish without word of hope.
Here, indeed, I am playing a traitor's part to my host, but still I am doing my duty. An army without spies would be incomplete, and one may descend to that office for the good of one's country without tarnish or disgrace. Am I not a traitor to her already?

Service and gratitude! Words! empty words! Kings hear them daily and find them lies. Because of these in his mouth Guy de Molembrais was trusted as it may be Stephen La Mothe will be trusted, and Molembrais is dead dead in a traitor's grave. Words? It is deeds France has need of, deeds deeds.
I will proclaim thee to my father to Albany to Scotland throughout its length and breadth. As many market crosses as are in the land shall have morsels of the traitor's carcass, who dare counsel such horrors to the heir of Scotland.
I come hither to say that I have done this. I have executed the Divine vengeance on her who ruined me and gave Egypt to the Roman. And now that, after years of toil and patient waiting, this is accomplished by my wisdom and the help of the angry Gods, behold I come with all my shame upon my head to declare the thing I am, and take the traitor's guerdon!"
