Don't kneel to me; I am but a man like yourself, and glad to help one who has come forward so nobly to help us." The visit to the sick child was not of so happy a nature, for the Hakim took the mother's hand sadly, and the Sheikh interpreted his words, that told how hopeless was the case, and how much better for her that she should cease to suffer soon.
Baring his shoulder under the smelly sheepskin coat, he lifted a bandage gingerly to show the clean opening out of which King had coaxed a bullet the day before. It looked wholesome and ready to heal. "Name thy reward, hakim! We Orakzai Pathans forget no favors!"
El Hakim examined his hurried pulse, his red and inflamed eye, his heated hand, and his shortened respiration. "The mind," he said, "grows wise by watching, but her sister the body, of coarser materials, needs the support of repose. Thou must sleep; and that thou mayest do so to refreshment, thou must take a draught mingled with this elixir."
"I knew that they must find out before many hours that we were prisoners, and then I felt that they would turn and reproach me for what I had done." "When you know us better, Ibrahim," said the doctor quietly, "you will find that we are not unreasonable. Then as I see it now, if I say if these ruffians treat us well we are on the high road to the place we seek to reach." "Yes, O Hakim."
The Mosque of El Hâkim was completed in 1013, and was so resplendent throughout that it was known as the "Brilliant." This mosque has suffered more indignities than even the old Amr, but the vast, empty court, with its partly ruined arches, still has a certain dignity. There were originally five minarets.
"The Emir Prince bade me say to his Excellency that he could not allow the great Hakim to go about among the people, for his life would be made a burden to him he could not go a step without having a crowd of sufferers following him and throwing themselves beneath his camel's feet." The doctor frowned.
When I visited Tabriz in the end of 1892, there were three physicians attached to the Vali Ahd's Court. One was the Hakim Bashi, Mirza Mahmud Khan, a Persian of superior education and professional training, who was in constant attendance on the Prince, and with him were associated the English Dr.
He shall recant his errors before my good cross-handled sword, and I will have him baptized on the battle-field, from my own helmet, though the cleansing waters were mixed with the blood of us both. Haste, De Vaux, why dost thou delay a conclusion so pleasing? Fetch the Hakim hither."
The Hakim's air of dignity was of course assumed; but one of his followers, in spite of his long intercourse with Europeans, took to his position proudly and as if to the manner born, and this was the Sheikh, whose handsome old grey-bearded face seemed to shine with a moon-like radiance reflected from the principal, the Hakim being his sun.
I paced through the streets behind the learned hakim, until we arrived at a mean house, in an obscure quarter of this grand city, over which your highness reigns in justice. An old woman, full of lamentation, led us to the sick couch, where lay a creature, beautiful in shape as a houri. Her face was covered, and the Frank desired the veil to be removed.
