I called my friends in the market to my aid hundreds are now looking for her." "She went out in her chair, did you say?" The steady voice of the Prince was in singular contrast with his bloodless face. "Yes." "Who carried it?" "The men we have long had." "Where are they?" "We sought for them they cannot be found." The Prince kept his eyes on Uel's face. They were intensely, fiercely bright.
"No, where is it?" "On the crest of Candilli." The Palace of Lael! The name confirmed itself sweeter and sweeter by repetition. And the doubt grew. Should he build in the city or amidst the grove of Judas trees on the crest of Candilli? Just as he arrived before his door, he glanced casually across the street, and was surprised by observing light in Uel's house. It was very unusual.
The Master felt a chill of fear something had happened something terrible but to whom? He pushed the poor man's head back until he caught the eyes. "What is it?" he asked. Syama arose, took the Prince's hand, and led him out of the door, across the street, and into Uel's house. The merchant, at sight of them, rushed forward and hid his face in the master's breast, crying: "She is gone lost!
The exclamation signified a curtain rising upon a scene of prosecution against which the Christian covered his face with his hands.... Again Nilo brought him back to present duty.... In a short time Lael was in the chair, and they bearing her off. Sergius set out first for Uel's house. The time was near morning; but for the conflagration the indications of dawn might have been seen in the east.
The room was plainly but comfortably furnished as became the proprietor's fortune and occupation. Closer acquaintance, it is to be said, had dissipated the latent dread, which, as has been seen, marked Uel's first thought of intimacy between the stranger and the child.
When night was fallen, he crossed the street to Uel's. After the first greeting, the conversation between the two was remarkable chiefly for its lapses. It is always so with persons who have a sorrow in common the pleasure is in their society, not in exchange of words. In one thing the brethren were agreed Lael was lost. By and by the Prince concluded it time for him to depart.
She wanted to ask him if the bear-tender at the fete could have been the Greek. Often as she thought of that odious creature with her fan, she blushed, and feared Sergius might seriously misunderstand her. About three o'clock she ordered her chair brought to father Uel's door at exactly four, having first dutifully run over the conditions the Prince had imposed upon her.

This much is certain, the city arose with one mind.
A little later on a woman of courtly accomplishment was found and established under Uel's roof as governess. Thereupon the Mystic entered upon a season during which he forgot the judgment upon him, and all else save Gul Bahar, and the scheme he brought from Cipango. He was for the time as other men.
There the little Jewess was received, while he took boat and hurried to Therapia. The Princess came down, and under her roof, Lael found sympathy, rest, and safety. In due time also Uel's last testament reached her, with the purse of jewels left by the Prince of India, and she then assumed guardianship of the bereaved girl. It is now the middle of February, 1451.
