Thus ended the conferences, and the imperial commissioners departed.
"Your worthinesses are destroying this business and all Phoenicia," said Rabsun, with a voice which was loud now. Hiram balled his fists, but was silent. "Thou must confess, worthiness," said he, after a while, "that of those twenty thousand towns his holiness owns few in reality."
"Had they known," said the states' envoys, "that their transparencies and worthinesses had no better intention, and the Duke of Terranova no ampler commission, the whole matter might have been despatched, not in six months, but in six days." Thus ended the conferences, and the imperial commissioners departed.
"Dost Thou desire to dispute?" interrupted Hiram, irritated. "How dispute? Rabsun, say if I am disputing." "Better talk of business, your worthinesses," replied the host. After a moment of thought Hiram proceeded, "Thy friends in Tyre congratulate thee greatly through me." "Is that all they have sent me?" asked Dagon, in reviling accents.
