The taleb "I am not afraid; I am always killing them in my house, and yet I fear them not, for it's all from God. If they are destined by Rubbee to sting me to death, they will, so I do not disturb myself. You Christians are foolish." It does not appear that this reptile strikes a person unless it be attacked, or trodden upon. The people say they feed on trāb, "dust" or "dirt."
Though I constantly hoped to see somebody's nose rubbed I was doomed to disappointment. I did observe several noses that might have been subjected to friction, but it is quite probable the operation would have enraged the rubbee. During our coldest nights on the steppe we had the unclouded heavens in all their beauty.
The blood of the Prophet makes him noble, and fit for heaven at any time Rubbee may decree his death. He is professionally and continually begging from me, and says with a whining pomposity, "Put yourself under my protection, I will escort you safe to Soudan. No one dare lift a finger against a Christian under the protection of a Shereef!"
I trust the other man killed him. Here we bleed, but we always know when blood enough is left in a man to keep him alive." "How do you know that?" I replied. The Taleb. "1st. I see if he sinks down. 2nd. I ask Rubbee. 3rd. If he dies, what matter? Is it not the will of God?" 19th. Great preparations are now going on for the departure of the ghafalah to Ghat and Soudan.
