Now he had made a new de parture, - and in the eagerness of her desire to know why this stranger was thus freely admitted into the usually forbidden precincts, she went her way downstairs to seek Feraz, and learn from him the explanation of What seemed so mysterious. But it was now past ten o'clock at night, and Feraz was asleep, fast locked in such a slumber that though Zaroba shook him and called him several times, she could not rouse him from his deep and almost death-like torpor. Baffled in her attempt, she gave it up at last, and descended to the kitchen to prepare her own frugal supper, - resolving, however, that as soon as she heard Feraz stlrrlng she would put him through such a catechism, that she would find out, in spite of el-rami's haughty reticence, the name of the unknown visitor and the nature of his errand.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX. Next day towards noon, while Feraz, tired with his brief "worldly" experiences, was still sleeping, El-Rami sought out Zaroba. She received him in the ante-room of the chamber of Lilith with more than her customary humility; her face was dark and weary, and her whole aspect one of resigned and settled melancholy. El-Rami looked at her kindly, and with compassion. "The sustaining of wrath is an injury to the spirit," he wrote on the slate which served for that purpose in his usual way of communication with her; "I no longer mistrust you. Once more I say, be faithful and obedient. I ask no more. The spell of silence shall be lifted from your lips to-day." She read swiftly, and with apparent incredulity, and a tremor passed over her tall, gaunt frame. She looked at him wpnderingly and wistfully, while he, standing before her, returned the look steadfastly, and seemed to be concentrating all his thoughts upon her with some fixed intention. After a minute or two he turned aside, and again wrote on the slate; this time the words ran thus: "Speak; you are at liberty." With a deep shuddering sigh, she extended her hands appealingly. "Master!" she exclaimed; and before he could prevent her, she had dropped on her knees. "Forgive--forgive!" she muttered. "Terrible is thy power, O El-Rami, ruler of spirits! terrible, mystic and wonderful! God must have given thee thy force, and I am but the meanest of slaves to rebel against thy command. Yet out of wisdom comes not happiness, but great grief and pain; and as I live, El-Rami, in my rebellion I but dreamed of a love that should bring thee joy! Pardon the excess of my zeal, for lo, again and yet again I swear fidelity! and may all the curses of heaven fall on me if this time I break my...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Soul of Lilith follows the tale of El-Rami from East and North Africa as he talks with the spirit of Lilith by keeping her body alive with a new and secret elixir. Excerpt: "THE theatre was full,--crowded from floor to ceiling; the lights were turned low to give the stage full prominence,--and a large audience packed close in pit and gallery as well as in balcony and stalls, listened with or without interest, whichever way best suited their different temperaments and manner of breeding, to the well-worn famous soliloquy in "Hamlet"--"To be or not to be."
