The Sheik Page #2

You hate them so mush

my kisses?

As the hour approaches when Diana

must face the humiliating ordeal

of meeting a man from her own world.

The French novelist, Dr. Raoul de St. Hubert

Adolphe Menjaou

She is very fascinating, Raoul.

Be careful - she will surely bewitch you.

"Does the past mean so little to you

that you now steal white women and

make love to them like a savage?"

"When an Arab sees a woman

that he wants, he takes her!"

A desert bandit trespasses

In the domain of the Sheik Ahmed,

Under the guise of a holy caravan.

Omair, the bandit.

Walter Long

"Where is Gaston?

What are you doing here?"

I did not have the courage

to face the stranger.

Oh, be kind to me Ahmed, please!

If I had arrived a moment later,

you would have been

picked up by that caravan

and carried away from me.

At dinner St. Hubert reveals himself

as a chivalrous gentleman of tact.

If you will permit me,

I should like to retire, sir!

You might have spared her.

My presence here!

The humiliation of meeting

a man from her own world!

She is content.

Desert days bring to the captive

and the novelist a closer understanding.

Your story is wonderful,

but is it real?

Does there really exit such a

man as you have drawn.

As tender and faithful as your hero?

I do know such a man.

One who could develop into

such a character.

The men in my life have not known

the meaning of tenderness.

Have thought only of themselves.

Unfortunately, beautiful women

provoke in some men

all that is base in their characters.

And the women pays for

the beauty God has given her.

Excuse me. My ideals cannot

possibly interest you.

On the contrary, they

interest me profoundly.

As what. A subject for vivisection?

The victim is ready.

It will make interesting material

for your next book.

If you will honor me with your

friendship, my life is at your service.

Come quickly, doctor!

There been an accident!

Ahmed!

One of the men.

A gun exploded in his hand.

You see, Mademoiselle,

it is all right!

In the harem of

Omair, the bandit.

The white woman of Ahmed Ben Hassan.

Bring me word of her.

Learn if she is guarded well.

I cannot ride today.

Gaston will accompany you.

You won't run away again?

I want you to carry this always.

The spies of Omair are

still in the neighborhood.

I trust you.

You have not changed your

mind about Mademoiselle?

Eventide, when the vast undulating

sand dunes throw their shadows.

A spy of Omair, the bandit.

One more reason for restoring

Mademoiselle to her people.

Let take her with me when

I return to Biskra.

Has she bewitched you, too?

You want her for yourself!

How I have made her suffer!

Merciful Allah, why does it
