No words were exchanged between them as they swept along, the early travellers on the road making way for them, as, like two spectral horsemen, the black and his pale companion rushed into sight and passed out of it, under a cloud of dust, almost as rapidly as they had appeared. The palm-trees and acacias swept past them in their swift race, to the eyes of Daoud, until they reached the wall of the palace of the Princess Nezle', when, suddenly curbing his panting steed, just at the secret gate t...hrough which Askaros had formerly entered, the sable guide dismounted, and tapped three times on the wall. The gate swung open, and two slaves appeared, one of whom respectfully assisted the eunuch to dismount, the other taking the bridle of Daoud 's horse, and motioning him to do the same. He saw, to his horror, that these slaves were mutes, and began to comprehend why the princess's secrets were so well kept, surrounded as she was by these ever- silent attendants. His conductors motioned him to follow, and he passed through many winding avenues to a small postern door, up a narrow flight of steps, and found himself in the same chamber already described, from the window of which Askaros had leaped into the Nile.
