Though her clothes were torn and her hair disheveled, Albert Werper realized that he never before had looked upon such a vision of loveliness as that which Lady Greystoke presented in the relief and joy which she felt in coming so unexpectedly upon a friend and rescuer when hope had seemed so far away.
If the Belgian had entertained any doubts as to the woman's knowledge of his part in the perfidious1 attack upon her home and herself, it was quickly dissipated by the genuine friendliness2 of her greeting. She told him quickly of all that had befallen her since he had departed from her home, and as she spoke3 of the death of her husband her eyes were veiled by the tears which she could not repress.
"I am shocked," said Werper, in well-simulated sympathy; "but I am not surprised. That devil there," and he pointed4 toward the body of Achmet Zek, "has terrorized the entire country. Your Waziri are either exterminated5, or have been driven out of their country, far to the south. The men of Achmet Zek occupy the plain about your former home—there is neither sanctuary6 nor escape in that direction. Our only hope lies in traveling northward7 as rapidly as we may, of coming to the camp of the raiders before the knowledge of Achmet Zek's death reaches those who were left there, and of obtaining, through some ruse8, an escort toward the north.
"I think that the thing can be accomplished9, for I was a guest of the raider's before I knew the nature of the man, and those at the camp are not aware that I turned against him when I discovered his villainy.
