In this bazaar new merchandise is generally prohibited; but the smallest rag of any stuff, the smallest piece of iron, brass, or steel, there found its buyer or seller. There you saw dealers in scraps of cloth of all colors, ages, shades, qualities, and fashion, to assimilate either with worn-out or ill-fitting garments.
His hand closed upon the money and he smiled a grim smile. "Bend low," he whispered. The Englishman bent. I wrote, and he put them about very clever man. Very few kittens now in the bazaar. Ask Lone Sahib's sweeper's wife." So saying, Dana Da gasped and passed away into a land where, if all be true, there are no materializations and the making of new creeds is discouraged.
A dainty samovar, a tiny tea-pot, a spirit-lamp and the rest, all in the wonderful silver-work of the Slavonski Bazaar in Moscow. "You see," she said with a smile, for she always smiled on men, "I have obeyed your orders." Steinmetz bowed gravely. He was one of the few men who could see that smile and be strong. He closed the door carefully behind him.
"Why not get your nurse a few days earlier to break her in, and be free to give me as much time as possible?" she urged. "Good idea, Mary," Stefan chimed in. "I'll stay in town that week and lunch with you at the bazaar, and you could sleep a night or two at the studio." "We'll see," said Mary, a little non-committal.
He was very fond of the phrase "a vale of tears." One day it was in Christmas week, when I was walking by the bazaar he called me into the butcher's shop, and not shaking hands with me, announced that he had to speak to me about something very important.
The patriarch's eyes grew moist as he spoke of Spain and its consul. Meanwhile the latter had stopped at the door of the Hindu bazaar to exchange a few words with Khiamull. He felt the necessity of sharing his brimming happiness with another. The Hindu was greener than ever. He coughed frequently and his smile, which resembled that of a bronze child, was really a dolorous grimace.
"You don't want to go to sleep yet, papa, do you?" she said, as she brought up her stool and opened the large fingers that clutched the snuff-box. "Not yet," said Mr. Deane, glancing at the reward of merit in the decanter. "But what do you want?" he added, pinching the dimpled chin fondly, "to coax some more sovereigns out of my pocket for your bazaar? Eh?"
The girl blandly laughed: "You venerable ingrate!" At the Bazaar that evening, when Charlie and grandma and the crowd were gone, Flora handled the unlovely curiosity. She and Irby had seen Hilary and Anna and the Hyde & Goodrich man on guard just there draw near the glass case where it lay "like a snake on a log," as Charlie had said, take it in their hands and talk of it.
Next morning, I said to myself, 'I will walk through the bazaars and see the state of the market. So I opened a bale and took out certain stuffs, which I gave to one of my servants to carry, then repaired to the Bazaar of Jergis, where I was accosted by the brokers, who had heard of my arrival. They took my stuffs and cried them for sale, but could not get the prime cost of them.
Seen moving about, far away in the dim, arched aisles of the Great Bazaar, they look as the shrouded dead must have looked when they walked forth from their graves amid the storms and thunders and earthquakes that burst upon Calvary that awful night of the Crucifixion. A street in Constantinople is a picture which one ought to see once not oftener.
