"And I pay him so much a week all the year round for doing that," the Count said. His grating voice sounded kind and amused. They walked on, and Larbi's tune died gradually away. "Somehow I can't be angry with the follies and vices of the Arabs," the Count continued.
Hunsden had taken his tone for the night; the string he struck was out of tune, he would finger no other. Averse to discord, of which I had enough every day and all day long, I concluded, at last, that silence and solitude were preferable to jarring converse; I bade him good-night. "What!

Because of my delight in his song, and of my desire to hear, I may not shut my eyes till it be morn." When the husband heard the lady's words he laughed within himself for wrath and malice.
