You have Hakem let |

"You have, Hakem-let me say it without offence-a style of language-Eastern, I suppose-hyperbolical-which either I must learn to pardon, or you must labour to reform. It does not suit our northern clime."
"I am mute. Yet, lady, you have sometimes chid me for my long silence."
"And is it for your _much_ speaking that I chide you now?" said the maiden, with a smile. "You will stand half the day like a statue there; and, when spoken to, answer with a gesture only-so that many have thought you really dumb. Much speaking is certainly not thy fault."
"I understand. The slave speaks as one who felt the indescribable charm of thy presence. It is a presumption worthy of death. Shall I inflict the punishment?"
"Is this amendment of thy fault, good Hakem, or repetition of it?"
"I await your commands. What service can Hakem render?"
But Maria relapsed again into silence. She seemed to hesitate in making the communication she had designed. Meantime, the arrival of her father was announced, and the slave left the apartment.
