Our two guides, Ismaeen and Abd-el-Mahjid, had each a single-barrelled fowling-piece value from twenty-five to thirty shillings. They were both expert shots, as we had occasion to witness when we went hare-shooting with them. In fact, with their assistance, we had hare every day for dinner during our stay. They were very chary of their powder, and only fired when pretty sure of success.
He told me that he and Abd-el-Mahjid had been sworn friends from infancy; that they scarcely ever separated; that where one went, the other went; and that what one willed, the other willed. They were connected by blood and marriage the sister of Ismaeen having become the wife of Abd-el-Mahjid. Both had seen what to them was a good deal of the world.
