"A good offer. Yes. Which I would accept were my mind not set upon other matters." He paused and then, "Selim, you are a good fellow. I will tell you the truth. I would like to stay with you, but I am searching for something which may take me to the ends of the earth."
"That is a long way, my friend."
"Yes, a long way, when one doesn't know which way to go."
"Ah, that is even longer. There are but two things which will take a man like you so far as that—vengeance, or a woman."
Renwick smiled.
"I see that you are wise as well as clever. I go for both, Selim."
"A woman? Young?"
"Yes."
"Beautiful?"
"Yes."
