VISITS AT KERMANSHAH.
Pilgrim Abdallah ! if you go even to the other world, I will
follow you." I answered " A1 Ullah, "—It rests with God. And
thus our first interview ended.
I had thought no more of this affair, regarding it as the mere
flight of a capricious fancy; but the Dervish himself was more
in earnest than I had conceived. He went immediately to declare
his wish to Mr. Rich, who treated it as I had done myself; and
thus the matter remained suspended. Some few days afterwards
the ring was brought, when Ismael then told me that he had
made every thing ready for his departure, and would not listen to
a refusal. I was myself perfectly passive in the case ; as it was a
matter of indifference to me who my companion was, provided he
understood Arabic and Persian, of the last of which languages I
knew but little. Mr. Rich still thought, as before, that so appa
rently capricious a determination was not likely to last; and that
I might therefore be abandoned on the road, if I went with the
Dervish only. Mr. Hine, however, thought he knew sufficiently
of Ismael's character to vouch for his fidelity, and advised me to
take him with me, as he desired.
In all this, not a word was said about the time of service, or
of the compensation expected for it. The affair was concluded as
a matter of pure attachment, by his saying, " I shall lose here
the opportunity of gaining two or three thousand piastres for
the execution of orders now on my hands ; I shall suffer more in
tearing myself away from two or three friends who are very dear to
me, and from one tender object of my affections who is of far more
value to me than my own existence; but from the moment that I
saw you and heard your voice, I felt that your soul contained what
ad all my life been searching for in vain, and that it was my
estmy to follow you wherever you might go." He added, « I
shall go and bury my sorrows in the bosom of love, and await the
moment of our separation with all the tranquillity of a soul
resigned to its fate." I dirl all fW 1 ^
