"I have given him his chance; because of my words men alreadyfear him. Why doesn't he plunder, then, and run to his own home?Why doesn't he talk with me and let me tell him what to do next?I know all these people--all their villages--everything!" "All women know too much, yet never what is needful, " AliBaba answered.
He was frankly jubilant. Son and grandson of robbers byprofession, father and grandfather of educated thieves, lifemeant lawlessness to him, and he could see nothing but honestple...asure and the chance of profit in Grim's predicament. He lovedGrim, as all Arabs do love the foreigner who understands them, deploring nothing except that unintelligible loyalty to a Westerncode of morals that according to Ali Baba's lights consisted ofpure foolishness. And now, as he saw it, Grim stood committed toa course that could only lead to trickery. And all trickery mustpave the way for plunder. And plundering was fun.
His sons and grandsons in varying degree saw matters from the oldman's viewpoint, although, having had rather less experience ofit, they were not quite so confident of Grim's generalship; butthey made up for that by perfectly dog-like devotion to "the oldman, their father, " whose word and whose interpretation of theKoran was the only law they knew.
