In their walks with Miss Grey it was with a thrill of pleasure that they sometimes saw the well-known flighty figure approaching, for there was always something worth looking at in Miss Barnicroft.

After a while the friends returned and found their robes burnt to ashes. "O Khoja!" they cried, "who has burnt our clothes? Alas, alas! what shall we do?" "Never mind," said the Khoja, "to-morrow the world comes to an end, you know. You would not have wanted them for long." Tale 36. The Dog on the Tomb. One day the Khoja was wandering among the tombs.

Certainly "one will need money and recruits for his army which the other will not grant."

There I found Antony, laid upon the golden bed of Cleopatra; and she, her breast bare, her face stained with tears, and her hair streaming wildly about him, knelt at his side and kissed him, wiping the blood from his wounds with her robes and hair.
