As I advanced, a young girl came towards me ; her eyes were jet black, with a fixed fiery star in the centre, which gazed upon you with a lurid light that seemed to petrify the very heart. She was 236 EDWARD WORTLEY MONTAGU. clothed in scarlet and black, bordered with Asiatic flowers, and was crowned with a vivid red head-dress, fringed with golden ornaments, set with blue stones ; she wore a gold chain in triple folds around her neck, massive as a king's collar, but dark and tawny coloured, fr...om long exposure to the air. Her lips were thick, but not coarse, such as I have since seen in the mighty Indo-Egyptian idols of the past ; and the nose was hooked like that of the Memnon on the banks of the Nile. Many and many a time since have I beheld her type in Nubia, and in the mighty awful depths of the Himmalayas. Her tread was light and bounding, like that which characterises all the wandering tribe ; she was close upon you like some wild dweller of the forest, almost as suddenly as she appeared, and ere you were aware.
