Ilderim walked to him as he sat on Sirius, and said, "I give them to you, son of Arrius, to do with as you will until after the games. You have done with them in two hours what the Roman may jackals gnaw his bones fleshless! could not in as many weeks. We will win by the splendor of God, we will win!"
A few remained to arrange the interior for the sheik; and of these the men-servants hung a curtain to the central row of pillars, making two apartments; the one on the right sacred to Ilderim himself, the other sacred to his horses his jewels of Solomon which they led in, and with kisses and love-taps set at liberty.
That night he counselled with Ilderim, and obtained his assent. Three Arabs came with him to Jericho, where he left them and the horses, and proceeded alone and on foot. Malluch was to meet him in Jerusalem. Ben-Hur's scheme, be it observed, was as yet a generality. In view of the future, it was advisable to keep himself in hiding from the authorities, particularly the Romans.
"By the splendor of God! the East shall decide whether the race was fairly won." "Nay, good sheik," said Malluch, "the editor has paid the money." "'Tis well."

"Dead!" cried Ben-Hur. "Dead!" echoed Ilderim.
Off to one side a portable earthenware oven was established under the presidency of a woman whose duty it was to keep the company in bread, or, more precisely, in hot cakes of flour from the handmills grinding with constant sound in a neighboring tent.

"If couriers left Antioch this morning, your messengers know the byways, and can get before them with your orders. "Do not hesitate. "Burn this after reading.

In Perea, the desert will be at thy back, and Ilderim in reach of thy hand. He will keep the roads, so that nothing shall pass without thy knowledge. He will help thee in many ways. Until the ripening time no one shall know what is here contracted. Mine is but a servant's part. I have spoken to Ilderim. What sayest thou?" Ben-Hur looked at the sheik.
