Having by this time rescued his hair from the wind, and secured it under his cowl, he looked next at Lael. His first thought was of the unfitness of her costume for an outing in a boat under the quietest of skies. A glance at the Princess, however, allayed the criticism; while the display of jewelry was less conspicuous, her habit was quite as rich and unsubstantial.
At mention of the law, the Turk cast a contemptuous look at the Prince, much as to say, Dog of an unbeliever, what dost thou with a saying of the Prophet? Then dropping his eyes to Lael and the boatmen, he answered in disdain of argument or explanation: "You they all must go."
For the more complicated forms of chiasmus consult Nägelsbach, Stil. §§ 167, 169. A. 344, f; G. 684; H. 562. LIBRUM ... MISIMUS: observe the omission of a particle at the beginning of the clause; the contrast between ceteris and hunc librum is made stronger by the omission. For this asyndeton adversativum see n. on Lael. 5 Laelium ... putes.
Again the raft was shaken, as if by feet moving rapidly under a heavy burden. Crash! and the door was splintered. Once more crash! and door and framework shot in a thunderbolt had not wrought the wreck more completely. Justice now to the Greek. Though a genius all bad, he was manly. Retiring to a position in front of Lael, he waited, dagger in hand.
One who has seen the boats in which fishermen now work the eddies and still waters of the Bosphorus will not require a description of the vessel the Prince and Lael stepped into when they arrived at the Grand Gate of Blacherne. He need only be told that instead of being pitch-black outside and in, it was white, except the gunwale which was freshly gilt.
"It is where a disciple speaks of Jesus as the only begotten. Son." The Wanderer smiled. "The young man is too literal. He forgets that the Only Begotten Son may have had many Incarnations." "The Princess Irene was also present," Lael went on. "Sergius said she too could accept your argument did you alter it" "Alter it!"
The intruder at the sound of his voice looked at him once, then disappeared in the throng. He was young, handsome, showily dressed, and beyond question the person of whom Lael had complained.
"Fortunately it may be in a measure relieved. Here is my daughter, Lael by name. The years have scarcely outrun her childhood.
Ere long the question possessed him entirely. It was then as if he despaired of recovering Lael, and had but one earthly object vengeance. "Ah, my God, my God! Am I to lose her, and never know my enemy? Action, action, or I will go mad!" Uel came with his usual report: "Alas! I have nothing." The Prince scarcely heard or saw him.
In the lavishment of his love, richer of its long accumulation, he was faithful to his duty of teacher, and was amply rewarded by her progress in study. Our narrative proceeds now from a day in the third year after Lael, the daughter of the son of Jahdai, dropped into the life of the Prince of India a day in the vernal freshness of June.
