"Or does Your Honor intend to arrive afterward and claim a share, leaving the labor to those who seek labor? In that case we crave permission to join Your Honor's party. It may be we can help enforce Your Honor's just demands, and be recompensed accordingly?" "Wallahi!" Grim answered after a long pause. "Who sets himself to plunder trains without my leave?
"Am I to obey you absolutely, not knowing what the " Grim interrupted him: "The proposal's fair. Either you withdraw now and hold your tongue, or come in with us. If you're in I'll tell the details; if not, there's no need." "Wallahi! What a sword-blade you are, Jimgrim!
"Wallahi! Doubtless!" laughed Narayan Singh. "Five thousand bastinados each from Ali Higg, while the queen bee laughs at us for fools! Nay, lady Jael, you are Jimgrim's prisoner." "Jimgrim!" she said. "Somewhere I have heard that name."
It is written that in the desert all men are enemies. What if he should meet a dozen men?" "The letter will be his pass. He must take a chance returning." "Wallahi! A letter? A pass into Jehannum possibly! By Allah, Jimgrim, a man needs more than a letter in these parts. He needs brains age influence experience. Nay! If any is to take that letter, let me do it.
"Wallahi!" the askaris called out to one another. "She has given the order!" They spread out to right and left with a clicking of their rifle locks; they drove the porters together, close to the fire. A soft moan arose from the huddled crowd. They had seen the whips of hippopotamus hide, long and flexible, translucent in the firelight like streams of amber.
Covet gold, and I will melt down the throne of a maharajah to make bracelets for your ankles!" "Wallahi! You speak like a braggart." "Braggart? I? Nay, I am a lover whose words go lamely. They are but chaff blown along the wind of great accomplishment. With thee to fight for I would dare the very rage of Ali Higg!" He still held her hand. She waited about a minute before answering.
Grim had doped him out too, and answered promptly without changing a muscle of his face. "Wallahi! Should I bring my wife to this place?" "Allah! Thy wife?" "Whose else?" "It was Ali Higg's wife according to the tale!" "Some fools swallow tales as the dogs eat the offal thrown to them! By the beard of God's Prophet, whom do you take me for?" "Go and ask the kites, then, at Dat Ras!" "You are he?
He was eating dates while he talked, so I suppose Grim had been to some pains to make him feel welcome. But he hadn't been there long. "Wallahi!" he said as I joined the circle. "But Your Honor is surely Ali Higg, and that is the lady Ayisha! Your Honor is pleased to pretend otherwise, but am I blind? I, who come straight from Petra where Your Honor paid me, am not thus easily deceived!
"Repeat to me what you did at Petra." "But Your Honor knows!" "Very well. Return with me to Petra. I have reasons for asking." "Wallahi! If it suits Your Honor's humor to make me tell you a tenth time what I have nine times said already, I have a tongue that wags. But I see that another has been telling tales of me behind my back, making me out a liar for his own purposes.
"This is only part way. You, who found it easier to crush the smaller first, tell me why the aeroplanes should not come first to Petra!" "Wallahi! I wish I had aeroplanes!" "But you haven't. Choose now: Will you make that bargain with me, or shall I go straight back from here to Palestine and make my report to the administrator?
