A black slave told a prosy tale about thieves — and the rest were more long than pointed. Hassan's Arab feelings were hurt at the small quantity of meat set before me. (They can't kill a sheep now for an honoured guest. ) But I told him no greater honour could be paid to us English than to let us eat lentils and onions like one of the family, so that we might not feel as strangers among them— which delighted all the party. After a time the merchant told us his heart was somewhat dilated — as a ...man might say his toothache had abated — and we said * Praise be to God ' all round. A short time ago my poor friend the Ma5hn had a terrible *tile ' fall on his head. His wife, two married daughters and nine miscellaneous children arrived on a sudden, and the poor man is now tasting the pleasures which Abraham once endured between Sarah and Hagar. I visited the ladies and found a very ancient Sarah and a daughter of wonderful beauty. A young man here — a Shereef — has asked me to open negotiations for a marriage for him with the Maohn's grand daughter a little girl of eight — so you see how completely I am ' one of the family.
