To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The contract was closed after protracted parleying, extending over several days. The negadi proved to be as much a man of his word after he had once started as he was exasperating during the preparatory period. As usual, these preliminary difficulties were not so much OUR LEAVE-TAKING 201 a matter of price as of agreement with, respect to speed and camping-places. I strongly suspect tliat the worthy negadi was not as deeply interested in the points at issue as he was in exercising his talent of... driving a bargain. At all events, he became so annoyingly dilatory and uncer- tain that at tlie critical moment Lieutenant Hussey, driven to desperation, literally bundled him out of our compound, rather than continue the wordy con- troversy without end. It was supposed that relations with the negadi had thereupon been dissolved, but not at all ; the negadi returned some hours later, declaring that he thoroughly liked this American way of negotiating, and that the terms might now be considered agreed upon.
