The one-eyed man was to loiter about the palace, calling upon the
brother's wife's uncle if possible, and discover all that he could
without arousing suspicion. And Billy determined to do a little
loitering himself and quicken the one-eyed man's investigations and
keep watch of Kerissen's comings and goings, and a donkey boy was
hired by the one-eyed man to follow the Captain when he appeared in
the street and report the places to which he went.

It was all very ridiculous, of course, Billy cheerfully agreed with
himself, but by proving its own folly it would serve to allay that
extraordinarily nagging uneasiness of his. If he could just be
_sure_ that little Miss Beecher wasn't tucked out of sight somewhere
in the power of that barbaric scamp with his Continental veneer!

Meanwhile the Oriental methods to be employed in the finding out
appealed to the young American's humor and his rash love of
adventure. He was grinning as he sat there on that stool and stared
at the blank canvas before him. He had felt the role of artist would
be an excellent screen for his loitering, but he had done no
painting for a little matter of twenty years, not since he was a
tiny lad, flat upon his stomach in his home library, industriously
tinting the robes and beards of Bible characters and the backgrounds
of the Holy Land--this work of art being one of the few permitted
diversions of the family Sabbath. Now he reflected that the scenes
for his brush were decidedly similar.

With humorous interest he fell to work, scaling off the palace on
his left, blocking off the cemetery ahead, and trying to draw a palm
without emphasizing the thought of a feather duster. His engineering
training made him critical of his lines and outlines, but when it
came to the introduction of color he had the sensation of a
shipwrecked mariner afloat upon uncharted seas.

The color that his eyes perceived was not the color which his
stubborn memory persisted in reminding him was the actual hue of the

great and nothing so small, 
 nothing so cute and nothing therefore foul, but that a woman will put 
 her spit to it, " and an understanding appeared to have been

 The one - eyed man was to loiter about the palace, calling upon the 
 buddy's wife's uncle if potential, and discover all that he could 
 without arousing misgiving. And Billy determined to do a little 
 loitering himself and animate the one - eyed man's investigations and 
 keep watch of Kerissen's comings and departure, and a donkey boy was 
 hired by the one - eyed world to follow the Captain when he appeared in 
 the street and report the places to which he die. 

 It was all very ridiculous, of course, Billy cheerfully agreed with 
 himself, but by proving its own stupidity it would serve to allay that 
 extraordinarily nagging uneasiness of his. If he could just be

 Meanwhile the Oriental method to be use in the finding out 
 appealed to the unseasoned American's humor and his rash love of 
 adventure. He was grinning as he sit there on that stool and stared

 be an excellent screen for his loitering, but he had done no
