By the way, who was that lovely maiden with you a while ago?"

The camels have scarcely disappeared in the darkness before a train of mules with heavy bales follows in their track. A loud-voiced man offers for sale grapes and melons he carries in a basket, while another bears a water-bottle of leather. And all the races which swarm here!
