Neither did Will look at us, but sat tracing figures with a forefinger in the dust between his knees, wondering perhaps how to excuse or explain, and getting no comfort. If my guess was correct, Gloria Vanderman was about equally distracted between the alternative ignominy of submitting her free will to Armenians or else to us.
Fred whispered. "Will is now going to sell two comrades in the market for his first love! D'you blame him? But it won't work!" "Send Miss Vanderman to Zeitoon with an escort and we three " "What did I tell you?" Fred chuckled. " will fight for you all you like!"
Those are the homes of my nation of my kin!" "And good God, where d'you suppose Miss Vanderman is?" Fred exclaimed. Will was standing beside Maga, looking into her eyes as if he hoped to read in them the riddle of Armenia. So now the awaited ripe reward Your cactus crown!
Our party were waiting on the far side, and Fred hurried over to join them. Kagig was listening to the reports of a dozen men, and while I waited to get his ear I could see Fred telling his great joke to the party. It was easy to see that Gloria Vanderman did not enjoy the joke; nor did I blame her.
"Yet I am the Eye of Zeitoon, and I know. His purpose was to leave his prisoners here and hurry on to overtake a lady a certain Miss Vanderman, who he thinks is on her way to the mission at Marash. He desired the credit for her rescue in order better to blind the world to his misdeeds! Nevertheless, now that she can be no more use to him, observe his chivalry! He does not even mention her!"
There we cooled our heels, fearful and full of vague imaginings until Miss Vanderman should bring the women, not at all encouraged by shouts in the distance that well might be the exulting of plundering Kurds, nor by occasional rifle-shots that sounded continually nearer, nor by the angry crimson glow of burning roofs that lighted half the horizon.
Part of the reason can be given by him who knows history enough, and commands almost unlimited leisure and page; but that would only be the uninteresting part that we could easily dispense with. The college girl has happened to the world, as light did in Genesis 1:3. Gloria Vanderman, with her back against the wall, struggled and contrived to get her foot on Will's bent knee.
Kagig nodded, and we four drew aside. "Now," demanded Fred, who knew the signs, "what special quixotry do you mean springing?" "Shut up, Fred. There's no need for you fellows to follow Kagig another yard. He'll be quite satisfied if he has me in keeping. That will serve all practical purposes. What you three must do is find Miss Vanderman if you can, and take her back to Tarsus.
"I'm Will Yerkes, Miss Vanderman." "Oh!" "I know Nurse Vanderman at the mission." "Yes, she spoke of you." "Fred Oakes here is " "Is English as they make them, yes, I know! Why the amazing efforts to " "I stand abashed, like the leopard with the spots unchangeable!" said Fred, and grinned most unashamedly. "They're both English." "Yes, I see, but why "
"How about Maga Jhaere's way, when she and Will and the Vanderman meet?" he said at last, smiling grimly. All that is cynical; all that refuses Trust in an altruist aim; Every specious plea that excuses Greed in necessity's name; Studied indifference; scorn that amuses; Cleverness, shifting the blame; Selfishness, pitying trust it abuses Treason and these are the same.
