Israel stared around in silence into the faces about him, first into the face of his wife, and then into the faces of his enemies whom he had bidden. Then he fell to laughing hideously and crying, "What matter? Every monkey is a gazelle to its mother!"
Then the sword fell rattling on the ground, for the gazelle had fainted. The old woman shrieked with delight when she saw her enemy was dead, and ran to bring water to the gazelle, and fanned it, and put it where the wind could blow on it, till it grew better and gave a sneeze. And the heart of the old woman was glad, and she gave it more water, till by-and-by the gazelle got up.
And my nurse told me that he was dead, and forbade me henceforth to breathe his name. "We travelled on, she and I, and the Indian her servant, my strength still renewed by the wondrous elixir. No longer supported by her, what gazelle ever roved through its pasture with a bound more elastic than mine? "We came to a town, and my nurse placed before me a mirror. I did not recognize myself.
But, instead, it saw something lying in the earth, which turned out to be a diamond, very large and bright. 'Oh, ho! said the gazelle to itself, 'perhaps now I can do something for my master who bought me with all the money he had; but I must be careful or they will say he has stolen it. I had better take it myself to some great rich man, and see what it will do for me.
In the meanwhile, having nothing better to do during this tedious interval, as no people would bring cattle or anything for sale, I took walks about the plain, shooting, and killed a new variety of gazelle, called Dera by the Somali, and Salt's antelopes, here called Sagaro, which fortunately were very abundant, though rather wild; catching fish, drawing with the camera, bathing in the sea, luxuriating on milk, dates, and rice, or talking and gossiping with the natives.
H.S? Hester Sommers of course. It was simple too simple. He wished for more like the gazelle. Like it, too, he got no more. After gazing at the writing, until every letter was burnt into his memory, he obeyed the order and rubbed it out.
As soon as the gazelle heard this, he came out of his hiding place and limped along as if he were lame. The hunter saw him. He threw down his bag and ran after the gazelle, thinking that he could easily catch him; but the gazelle kept ahead of him. At last the hunter could run no more. He went back to get his bag, tired and cross, but sure of a supper.
Now I shall see what the good woman will offer me if I take Uarda to her? the girl is as light-footed as a gazelle, and with good training would learn to dance in a very few weeks." Nemu turned perfectly white. "That you shall not do," said he positively. "And why not?" asked the old woman, "if it pays well." "Because I forbid it," said the dwarf in a choked voice.
Search made in every direction. No J. D. weeping bitterly, and inconsolable. Renewed reference to young Gazelle. Appropriate, but unavailing. Towards evening, strange boy calls. Brought into parlour. Broad nose, but no balustrades. Says he wants a pound, and knows a dog. Declines to explain further, though much pressed.
'You have brought a lamb stuffed with pistachio-nuts, instead of a gazelle with almonds, said the Guebre. 'Not half sugar-plums enough, said the Negro. 'Everything is wrong, said Kisloch. 'Go, and get us a kabob.
