Pearl-Maiden

CHAPTER III
13/24

You do not leave this place except in our company, and then at the first sign of danger I drive this knife home between your shoulders.

Meanwhile my mistress is ready to sign any moderate draft upon her father." "It is not necessary.

Under the circumstances I think that I will trust to the generosity of my fellow trader Benoni.

Meanwhile I assure you that nothing will give me greater happiness than to fall in with your views.

Believe me, I have no prejudice against Christians, since those of them whom I have met were always honest and paid their debts in full.
I do not wish to see you or your mistress eaten by lions or tortured.
I shall be very glad to think that you are following the maxims of your peculiar faith to an extreme old age, anywhere, outside the limits of my grain-store.
