She was the only white woman in the place, and the thought of her isolation came upon him now like a fiery torture. It was the fiercest temptation he had ever known. Till that day his regimental duties had always been placed first with rigorous determination.
Then he died; and pious Nature, where he lay so gaunt and grim, Moved by her divine compassion, did the same kind thing for him. Earth upon her burning bosom held him in his final rest, While the hot winds of the Desert piled the sand above his breast. Onward in his fiery travel Abdel-Hassan held his way, Yielding to the camel's instinct, halting not, by night or day,
