The poor slave was himself nearly worn out. Sympathy has a fashion of burdening us without in the least lightening the burden which occasions it. To-morrows may be long coming, but they keep coming. Time is a mill, and to-morrows are but the dust of its grinding. Uel arose early. He had slept soundly.
Cowley was ashamed to advance a direct lie, but she was not ashamed to insinuate a falsehood A Naeuio uel sumpsisti multa, si fateris; uel, si negas surripuisti Cicero. The strictures of our stage historian are entirely apposite and correct. Henry, Don Gasper and Antonia of the Georgian comedy are none other but Bellmour, Sir Feeble, and Leticia.
The return to the market was less hurried than the going from it. There Uel acted promptly. He took Syama to his house, and put him into the guest-chamber, assuring him it was a pleasure. Yet when night came he slept poorly. The incidents of the day were mixed with much that was unaccountable, breaking the even tenor of his tradesman's life by unwonted perplexities.
"No, we hoped to find some one belated there." "Do you know Uel the merchant?" "We have heard of him. He has a stall in the market, and deals in diamonds." "Do you know where his house is?" "On the street from St. Peter's Gate, under the church by the old cistern." "We have a passenger here, his daughter, and want you to carry her home. One of our poles is broken." "Will she pay us our price?"
As an overture to peace and goodwill, it was reenforced by very large eyes, the intense blackness of which was softened by a perceptible glow of pleasure. Uel was won on the instant. A recollection of the one supreme singularity of the new acquaintance his immunity from death recurred to him, and he could not have escaped its effect had he wished.
An idea of the general style of these may be gathered from such lines as the following, which contain the reply of a country girl hesitating before the advances of a merry student: Si senserit meus pater uel Martinus maior frater, erit mihi dies ater; uel si sciret mea mater, cum sit angue peior quater: uirgis sum tributa.
"Go now, my brother Uel, and bring hither all the clerks in the market." "All of them all? Consider the expense." "Nay, son of Jahdai, be thou a true Israelite. In trade, this for that, consider the profits and stand on them closely, getting all thou canst. But here is no trade here is honor our honor thine, mine.
All the forces in his nature became active. "Go," he said to Uel, "order two men for my chair. Syama will attend me." The merchant left him on the floor patting one hand with another. "Yes, yes, I will try it I will see if there is such thing as Christian pity I will see. It may have swarmed, and gone to hive at Blacherne."
The reader will remember the merchant's house was opposite the Prince's, with a street between them. Unfortunately the street was narrow; the heat from one building beat across it and attacked the other. Uel managed to get out safely; but recollecting the jewels intrusted to him for Lael, he rushed back to recover them.
When the world at last fell away and left him asleep, it was with a dread tapping heavily at his heart. The purchase which Uel was requested to assist in making proved a light affair.
