There was evil purpose in his gaze.
Merton Gill recalled something of Henshaw's words the first day he had eaten at the cafeteria: "They find this deserted tomb just at nightfall, and he's alone there with the girl, and he could do anything, but the kick for the audience is that he's a gentleman and never lays a finger on her." This would be the story.

Probably the sheik would now arrange with the old gentleman in the sun-hat to guide the party over the desert, and would betray them in order to get the beautiful girl into his power.
Of course there would be a kick for the audience when the young fellow proved to be a gentleman in the deserted tomb for a whole night--any moving-picture audience would expect him under these propitious circumstances to be quite otherwise, if the girl were as beautiful as this one.

But there would surely be a greater kick when the sheik found them in the tomb and bore the girl off on his camel, after a fight in which the gentleman was momentarily worsted.

But the girl would be rescued in time.

And probably the piece would be called Desert Passion.
He wished he could know the ending of the story.
