His voice trembled with a passionate hate; his eyes gleamed with excitement; his nails dug into the palms of his hands. "Now Master, gladden my eyes and expand my breast by letting me see this old jackal's blood!" "No, Rrisa," the Master denied him. "I have other use for the old jackal.

Excerpt: ...frenzy of the storm-managed a salute. "Here, Master, I have saved him from the jinnee of the desert," Rrisa pantingly announced. His voice trembled with a passionate hate; his eyes gleamed with excitement; his nails dug into the palms of his hands. "Now Master, gladden my eyes and expand my breast by letting me see this old jackal's blood!" "No, Rrisa," the Master denied him. "I have other use for the old jackal.

This storm may last all night, and it may blow itself out in half an hour. That cannot be told. The Legion may think us lost, and try to search for us. Lives may be sacrificed. Morale demands that we go back. Moreover, we certainly need not traverse the desert." "How, then?" "We can descend the wady to the beach, and make southward along it, under the shelter of the dunes." "In the noise and confusion of the storm they may take us for Arabs and shoot us down." "I will see to that. Come, we must go! Carry Lebon, if you like. Rrisa and I will take Abd el Rahman." "M'alme, not Abd el Rahman, now," ejaculated Rrisa, "but Abd el Hareth!1 Let that be his title!" Footnote 1: The former name signifies "Slave of...
