Then, either we'll all four agree to take you up, or we'll give you a flat refusal within a day or two. Now suit yourself." "I have told the truth Zeitoon caves boar antelope wild boar. I am a very good guide. You shall pay me handsomely." "Sure, we'll ante up like foreigners. But why do you make the proposal? What's behind it?" "I never saw you until this afternoon. You are Eenglis sportmen.
Down at the end of it, where the grass sloped gently upward toward the flanks of a great rock was a little row of graves with a cross made of sticks at the head of each clearly not Turkish graves. "Three men eleven women," our guide said simply. "You mean that the Turkish police " "There were fifteen on their way to Zeitoon. One survived, and reached Zeitoon, and told.
"The report lies, that is all!" he answered. Then suddenly he beat on his chest with clenched fist. "There is spirit here! There is spirit in Zeitoon! No Osmanli dare molest my people! Come to Zeitoon to shoot bear, boar, antelope! I will show you! I will prove my words!" "Were those six jingaan in the common room your men?"
Suppose she does not want me?" "You must! Never mind what she want! Listen! This is only way to save your frien's and Zeitoon! I am giving men four five six men. They are seizing Gloria. You go with them. They take you safe away. Then Zeitoon is also safe, an' your frien's are also safe." "Monty, too?" I asked. "Yes, then he is also safe." But I felt her hands tremble slightly as she said that.
Before we had finished eating, each two of them gathered up a poor wretch from our helpless crowd and strode away into the mountains with a heavier load than that they brought. "Come along to Zeitoon!" they called back to us. But even Fred's concertina, and the hymns of the handful who were not yet utterly spent, failed to get them moving before dawn.
A friend unmistakable, Anna Gloria's self-constituted maid ran out of the darkest shadow and kept me from scrambling to my feet. "Wait!" she whispered. "Don't be seen talking to me. Listen!" My ankle pained considerably and I was out of breath. I was willing enough to lie there. "Maga has made a plot to betray Zeitoon! She has been talking with that Turkish colonel who was captured.
"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!"
"I am the Eye of Zeitoon!" he boasted, and was gone. A servant whom the consul sent to follow him came back after ten or fifteen minutes saying he had lost him in a maze of narrow streets. His latter, offhanded manner scarcely auguring well, we debated whether or not to search for some one more likely amenable to discipline to take his place.
"You'll appreciate, of course," said Monty, "that it's out of the question for us to go forward until we know where that lady is." Kagig bowed gravely. "I am needed at Zeitoon," he answered. Then Maga broke in shrilly, pointing at Will: "Take that one for hostage!" she advised. "Bring him along to Zeitoon. Then the rest will follow!" Kagig looked gravely at her.
Only, Fred made a movement with his hand behind him that Maga noticed and spurned with a toss of her chin. "You coming to Zeitoon?" Gloria nodded. Glancing over toward Kagig I saw that he was aware of Maga and was watching her out of the corner of his eye while he talked with Gregor and the Turk.
