But for the strong hand that he had lent him, but for the cool headwherewith he had guarded him, where would the man be now? In thedungeons of Abd er-Rahman, having gone thither by way of the Sultan'swooden jellabs and his houses of fierce torture. By the mind's eyeIsrael could see him there at that instant--sightless, eyeless, hungry, gaunt. But no, he was still here--fat, sleek, voluptuous, imperious. Andgood men lay perishing in his prisons, and children, starved to death, lay in their grave...s, and he himself, his servant and scapegoat, whosebrains he had drained, whose blood he had sweated, stood before himthere like an old lion, who had been wandering far and was beaten backby his cubs.
But what matter? He could silence the Basha with a word; yet why shouldhe speak it? Twenty times he had saved this man, who could neitherread nor write nor reckon figures, from the threatened penalties of theShereefean Court, and he could count them all up to him; yet why shouldhe do so? Through five-and-twenty evil years he had built up this man'shouse; yet why should he boast of what was done, being done so foully?He had said his say, and it was enough.
