But I do know also that there was a great deal of secret chuckling and jubilation in the London clubs. Nothing was expressed openly. The men of England have been too terrorised by the women for that. But in safe corners of the club, out of earshot of the waiters and away from casual strangers, little groups of elderly men chuckled quietly together.
Fruits, pomegranate, syrup, honey, and jild el faras were brought as offerings of gratitude. The crew ascended to the air-liner amid wild shouts of praise and jubilation. Apricot paste in dried sheets, cut into convenient sizes. "You see, Leclair?" the Master inquired, as Nissr drew away once more to eastward, leaving the village in the palms behind.

And there was rejoicing all over the country that rainy day. Even the babies forgot their past troubles, and danced and crowed amazingly. And the king told stories, and the queen listened to them.
