It had been market- day : the dirty khan was crowded by Greeks and Armenians, who had brought down com, and timber, and a little silk for sale. As there was no chance of getting even a very small and filthy room to ourselves whereon to stretch ourselves for the night, we dispatched Halil to the Aghk or Mudir of the place, with Mus- tapha Nouree's bouyouroultou. I was rather curious to know the effects to be produced by this talisman. Without looking at it, the Aghki told Halil to go and bring t...he English Beys to his house, as he would have the pleasure of lodging and entertaining them himself. The government house of Yeni Ghieul was not quite a palace : it was a lai'ge, rambling, tumbledown house, built, as usual, of wood, and having a puzzling variety of exits and entrances^ narrow door- ways, dark passages, and tottering, creaking staircases which could not have been washed for ages. The Agh^ received us in a small room in which he did business and gave audience. He was a mid- dle-aged, quiet, very gentlemanly Turk, rather of the old school than of the new ; he had been a very handsome man, but was now in a deplorable state of health : the deep yellow tint of his face, his hol- low cheeks, his parched and cracked lips and sunken eyes told in a loud voice that the malaria fiend had been often upon him, and was eating away his liver.
