sahib

'Your protection, sahib, ' he panted, 'your protection for the unhappy merchant Achmet.

The sahib commands you to come to him tomorrow.

By his doing this, mark you, sahib, his property becomes the due of those who have been true to their salt.

The thing stands thus, sahib, and I tell it to you because I know that an oath is binding upon a Feringhee, and that we may trust you.
