He stifled his own impulses and, in the end, he always tried to break himself. \u201cAs for his arm, though he had scars all over both of his arms, this wound that the Czar knew about had attracted our curiosity. As usual, he was very discreet about it, and we had to worm it out of him. He told us, with great reserve and dif- ficulty, that a Cossack of the Don had wounded him with a lance when his family was escaping from Akulgo.<\/p>\n

His family had managed to get away when he, Jamal Eddin, had fallen from his horse. That was when he had been captured and ~ made a prisoner. \u201cI think he doctored the truth a little and mixed up sev- eral incidents, because he couldn\u2019t admit that his own peo- ple had given him up. He still couldn\u2019t bear the idea. \u201cBut I did not understand that until later, in our room, when Youssouf, humiliated by the Emperor\u2019s remarks and probably envious, started shouting that, if Jamal Eddin was in Russia, it wasn\u2019t because he had been captured when he was running away, but because he had been betrayed and given away by his father.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fight that followed cost them both dearly. \u201cAs luck would have it, after the Czar left, our company had been assigned a new captain\u2014Captain Argamakoy, also known as The Beast\u2014who loved the sight of blood. The usual punishment for insubordination was twenty-five lashes ‘ with the cane. But twenty-five lashes from Argamakov were like the knout used in public beatings of true delinquents.<\/p>\n

In this case, the punishment was forty lashes for each of the two Muslims. \u201cThe problem with Argamakov\u2019s thrashings wasn\u2019t so much the pain as the splinters they left all over you.<\/p>\n
