Tuman stayed at the front gate with his neuro while the others struggled through the weedy garden to the police ship in the alley, rejoining them as they were ready to rise. A crowd had gathered.
And he recognized the girl with the stiletto whom he had caught in his hotel room. He said nothing, however. He could hardly explain the feeling of sadness that came over him. He stood silent, while the others commented excitedly over the overshadowing war news. "It's all in the box," Tuman said gloomily. "Many times I've helped cook up something like this.
"Go," replied Gharib, "and take of him the gift of glad tidings." So Tuman returned with all dillgence to Isbanir, the Cities, and entering the palace, kissed ground before the King, who said to him, "What is there of new, O bringer of good news?" Quoth Tuman, "I will not speak thee, till thou give me the gift of glad tidings." Quoth the King, "Tell me thy glad tidings and I will content thee."
My son was ill for a year before his death; he could not pay even his own rent. Vlass laughed again. 'Oh! things are in a sad way, brother Vlass, Tuman ejaculated deliberately. 'Sad! 'Who is your master? I asked him. 'Count Valerian Petrovitch. 'The son of Piotr Ilitch? 'The son of Piotr Ilitch, replied Tuman. 'Piotr Hitch gave him Vlass's village in his lifetime. 'Is he well?
So they halted and waited till the new comers reached them, when they went to meet them and told Tuman, their captain, that the Princess was with them; whereupon he went in to Gharib and kissing the ground before him, enquired for her. Gharib sent him to her pavilion, and he entered and kissed her hands and feet and acquainted her with what had befallen her father and mother.
She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that when the King's daughter, Fakhr Taj, had told Tuman all that had befallen her from the Mountain-Ghul, and how he had imprisoned her and would have devoured her but for Gharib, adding, "And indeed, it behoveth my sire to give him the half of his reign," Tuman arose and returned to Gharib and kissed his hands and feet and thanked him for his good dealing, saying, "With thy leave, O my lord, I will return to Isbanir City and deliver to our King the good news of his daughter's approach."
After two days more they came to a region where huge blocks of stone, of the prevailing orange or brick color, lay scattered around on the plain. "They look good to me," Tuman said. "If some patrol comes along now we'll have plenty of cover, at least. This belt is a hundred miles wide, maybe a little more. Good hunting there. Plenty of desert hogs, as fat and as round as a ball of bovine butter.
Tolto thought of his princess, his child goddess, and mentally fought battle with whomever stood between him and her. Sime and Murray saw in those lights only war, swift and horrible. Tuman imagined a city full of enemies, ruthless and powerful. Gradually, as they came closer, the lights began to go out one by one. The city was going to bed.
Of course I'm going home. My wife, I suppose, is pretty well starved by now. 'You should then, Styopushka said suddenly. He grew confused, was silent, and began to rummage in the worm-pot. 'And shall you go to the bailiff? continued Tuman, looking with some amazement at Styopka. 'What should I go to him for? I'm in arrears as it is.
But his scrutiny labored under one disadvantage. His eyes did not encounter mine! One loses a great deal, if his object be the study of tuman nature, if he fails in this respect. "Much pleasure in making your acquaintance, Mr. Clifford; I trust, however, you will find me no worse enemy than your friend has done." "If he find YOU no worse, he will find himself no better.
