This egg on the following morning he showed to his wife, and said to her: "Alas! I fear I am not as other men, for evidently in the night I laid this egg; and, wife mine, if the neighbors hear of this, your husband, the long-suffering Hadji Ahmet, will be bastinadoed, bowstrung, and burned to death. Ah, truly, my soul is strangled."
If, as you say, there was gold in the jar and it is now gone, all I can say is, the stronger has overcome the weaker, and that in this case the gold has either been converted into olives or into oil. What can I do? The jar you gave me I returned to you." Hadji Hussein admitted this, and fully appreciated that he had no case against the Jew, so saying: 'Chok shai! he returned to his home.
The Turk, Hadji Achmet, had pressed into our service, as a guide for a few miles, a dandy who had just been arranged as a cauliflower, with at least half a pound of white fat upon his head.
Bloodthirsty and voluptuous alike, they were viewed with equal terror by the Frank pilgrim, the Syriac villager, the Armenian merchant, and the Saracen hadji whose ransom and whose spoil enriched their chambers, with all that the licentious tastes of East and West united could desire.
One of my Turks, Hadji Achmet, was ill; therefore, although I longed to travel, it was necessary to wait. I extract verbatim from my journal, 26th June: "The river has still risen; the weather is cooler, and the withered trees and bushes are giving signs of bursting into leaf. This season may be termed the spring of this country.
Tidings of the flight of Dost Mahomed reached Keane on the 3d, at Sheikabad, where he had halted to concentrate; and Outram volunteered to head a pursuing party, to consist of some British officers as volunteers, some cavalry and some Afghan horse. Hadji Khan Kakur, the earliest traitor of his race, undertook to act as guide.
Hearts deadened by the weight of Things cannot feel Truth. Throats choked by the dust of Things cannot speak Truth. Therefore, O Hadji, is the Temple of Truth here on the Outer-Edge-Of-Things; therefore is The Law of the Pilgrimage." "And The Price?" asked the Pilgrim; "It was so great a price. Why?" Thyself answered: "Found you no bones in the Desert? Found you no graves by the way?"
The art that had fed him for years was now to be the means of recovering his money. Hadji Hussein daily met Ben Moïse but he never again referred to the money, and further, Hussein's sons were always in company with Ben Moïse's only son, a lad of ten. Time passed, and Ben Moïse entirely forgot about the jar, olives, and gold; not so Hadji Hussein. He had been working.
In this extremity I remembered the promise made to me by the great merchant of Zanzibar Tarya Topan a Mohammedan Hindi that he would furnish me with a letter to a young man named Soor Hadji Palloo, who was said to be the best man in Bagamoyo to procure a supply of pagazis. I despatched my Arab interpreter by a dhow to Zanzibar, with a very earnest request to Capt.
"How long," said the Prince "in the Prophet's name, how long will this endure?" "Till night, O most excellent Hadji if the caravans be so long in coming." "Is it usual?" "It has been so from the beginning." Thereupon the curiosity of the Prince took another turn. A band of horsemen galloped into view free riders, with long lances carried upright, their caftans flying, and altogether noble looking.
