 “Before the clouds appeared the rain came upon me.”—Arabic Proverb.
Two months had passed in which Zarah had absolutely failed to break her prisoners’ indomitable spirit; two months in which her passion for the white man and her hate for the white girl had grown deeper and fiercer.
With the density1 of some women, she clung with an extraordinary and ridiculous tenacity2 to the belief that, if she only threatened or cajoled enough and held her rival up plainly enough to ridicule3 or contempt, she would ultimately win Ralph Trenchard’s love.
Also did fear urge her to force or cajole him into becoming her husband.
She knew her own men were blown like cotton threads before every passing gust4 of their facile emotions, and that their suddenly aroused hatred5 of Ralph Trenchard had given place to genuine admiration6; by that she had come to realize she had no real hold over them and that, where they had obeyed her father, the Sheikh, through genuine love, they merely obeyed her because it pleased them so to do.
She was just their nominal7 head. She pleased their sense of beauty, and they almost worshipped her for her courage in raids, but they were too well fed, too sure of an unfailing supply of the necessities of life, too secure against intrusion and interference to wish to relieve her of the reins8 of government with its attendant burdens.
If they had formed one of the itinerant9 groups of Bedouins which have to literally10 fight for their existence[248] as they flee across the desert, she knew they would not have tolerated her for a day.
