“I have solved it.”

“What?”

“Girzilla.”

“Have you discovered who she is?”

“No, but who she is going to be.”

Max started. A crimson tide passed through the veins of his face.

In a whisper he asked:

“Who is she to be?”

“Ibrahim shall marry her.”

The union would be a good one. The marriage of a Persian with an Arabian could not be considered a mesalliance, at least as regards race; but to Max there was a certain pride of rank which would be outraged.
