Narrative of a Mission to Central Africa Performed in the Years 1850-51, Volume 1 Under the Orders and at the Expense of Her Majesty's Government He was a handsome little fellow, with a face no darker than old ivory, and heavily lashed, expressive eyes, like those which looked over the marabout's mask.

Narrative of a Mission to Central Africa Performed in the Years 1850-51, Volume 1 Under the Orders and at the Expense of Her Majesty's Government The caravans had filed in, and the marabout's men and Stephen's guides had dismounted. The Golden Silence She had fancied that the marabout would not choose to admit his knowledge of English, and he admired the quickness of her wit in a sudden emergency. The Golden Silence "If Madame will allow me I will salute the marabout," said Batouch. The Garden of Allah I asked for the marabout, and they made me send a visiting-card—quaint in the desert. The Golden Silence The marabout came in, wearing the black mask we'd heard about—a fellow with a splendid bearing, and fine eyes that looked at me very hard over the mask. The Golden Silence What he feared most was gunpowder; and though he was ignorant of the marabout's secret ambitions and warlike preparations, he thought it not improbable that a store of gunpowder might be kept in the Zaouïa. The Golden Silence The marabout turned this answer over quickly in his mind. The Golden Silence A marabout, black as a coal, rode on a white horse towards the great mosque, followed by his servant on foot. The Garden of Allah As for Maïeddine, he was ill with fever, so the sisters said, and Saidee and Victoria believed that he had been kept in ignorance of the marabout's bargain. The Golden Silence He'll snap at an adventure to help a pretty girl even though he's never seen her; and he knows the marabout's boy and the guardian-uncle. The Golden Silence It was not even certain, if the marabout were threatened and thought himself in danger, that he might not cause the sisters to disappear. The Golden Silence "In charge of his uncle, whom I have appointed his guardian," the marabout broke in. The Golden Silence For the moment, he tacitly accepted the attitude which the marabout chose to take up. The Golden Silence Then, glancing quickly at the group, he saw that the head man sent by the marabout was talking emphatically to the guide from Oued Tolga, the city. The Golden Silence "Looks as if they'd got a tip from the marabout's men," he said slowly. The Golden Silence Besides, he has no money except what the marabout gives him as guardian to the boy at school. The Golden Silence When the letter was in an envelope, addressed to Miss Ray, the marabout took it from Stephen and handed it to somebody outside the door, no doubt one of the three watchers. The Golden Silence The marabout looked intently at Maïeddine, searching his mind to the depths; and the face of each man was lit by an inner flame, which gave nobility to his expression. The Golden Silence "No, that cannot be," the marabout answered decidedly. The Golden Silence The marabout went into the next room, and got some French writing paper. The Golden Silence Probably he will pretend that it concerns the marabout, of whom he boasts always as his relative. The Golden Silence Nevertheless, he did not see how the marabout could manage to play him false, if he wanted to get his boy and hide the truth about himself. The Golden Silence "Did the marabout appoint Toudja as the place to make the exchange, or was it you?" she asked, over Victoria's shoulder. The Golden Silence "It will be better that the exchange should be made here," said the marabout. The Golden Silence "Thou hast travelled much, even more than the marabout himself, hast thou not?" she inquired, graciously. The Golden Silence And if the uncle's away, it will be nobody's business even if they see the marabout's son having a ride behind me on my horse, as he might with his own father. The Golden Silence And later I was sure, because my women told me that while he talked with the marabout, the door which leads to thy sister's roof was nailed up hastily, by command of the master. The Golden Silence Their dear friend, the good, wise, polite marabout assures them that rumours of that sort are nonsense. The Golden Silence Then as she watched, and the procession came nearer, rising and falling among the golden sand-billows, she could plainly make out the majestic form of the marabout. The Golden Silence The marabout promised his wife's sister to Maïeddine with as little hesitation as a patriarch of Israel, three thousand years ago, would have promised a lamb for the sacrificial altar. The Golden Silence He is in deadly awe of the marabout, and I will say that, if the child's father hears what has happened, there will be no forgiveness—nothing but ruin. The Golden Silence The girl was escorted upstairs, perhaps to show her how much more important was the favourite wife of the marabout than a mere Roumia, an unmarried maiden. The Golden Silence Touggourt's a bit on the outskirts of the marabout's zone of influence, let's hope. The Golden Silence Stephen would then start for the Zaouïa, for an interview with the marabout, who, no doubt, was already wondering why he did not follow up his first attempt by a second. The Golden Silence The "ultimatum" would concern Victoria only, as the elder sister was wife to the marabout, and no outsider could assume to have jurisdiction over her. The Golden Silence They belonged body and soul to the marabout. The Golden Silence If the marabout lost his temper, not a man in the Zaouïa but would be ready to obey a word or gesture, and short work might be made of Victoria Ray's only champion. The Golden Silence "The marabout will come presently," the mild interpreter announced, when he had brought Stephen once more to the reception room adjoining the mosque. The Golden Silence He was on the point of trying the inner door, when it opened, and the masked marabout stood looking at him, with keen eyes which the black veil seemed to darken and make sinister. The Golden Silence The marabout's dark hands clenched themselves, and he took a step forward, but stopped and stood still, tall and rigid, within arm's-length of the Englishman. The Golden Silence One of his own guides was standing outside the gates, talking with two of the marabout's men, and looking into the distance. The Golden Silence The dark eyes blazed above the mask, though still the marabout did not move. The Golden Silence He had come, before his first encounter with her, to pay his respects to the marabout. The Golden Silence I was telling your friend that the marabout himself has a European wife—who is said to be a great beauty. The Golden Silence Through an attendant at the baths he had found out that the lovely lady was the wife of the marabout, a Roumia, said not to be happy. The Golden Silence "Did—the marabout seem bent on making this bordj the rendezvous?" The Golden Silence I must stay at this end of the line, and when the time comes, give the marabout our ultimatum. The Golden Silence The marabout, though not well, would receive Monsieur. The Golden Silence "I believe thou wilt not fail," the marabout answered. The Golden Silence Great marabout hangs out there—kind of Mussulman pope of the desert. The Golden Silence But on the other hand, numerous caravans arrived at the Zaouïa of Oued Tolga, and hundreds of pilgrims from all parts of Islam were entertained as the marabout's guests, or as recipients of charity. The Golden Silence The language, known to none in this house except the marabout, Maïeddine, Saidee and Victoria, was as safe as a cypher, therefore no envelope had been needed. The Golden Silence He was almost ready to believe in the extraordinary virtue of the earth which had the honour of covering the marabout's remains. The Golden Silence "Tell Si Maïeddine that before he or the marabout can come near us, we shall be dead," Victoria said, in a low voice. The Golden Silence If these missing ones were away, and even if they should never come back, it was because they were needed to carry out the marabout's wishes, at a vast distance. The Golden Silence The wife of the great marabout shut the book in which she had been writing, and her mind travelled quickly to the sender of the carrier-pigeon. The Golden Silence He remembered the voice of the marabout, and knew that the sisters must recognize it also. The Golden Silence The marabout, whose figure in one flashing glimpse Stephen fancied he recognized, was still apparently unhurt. The Golden Silence
