He was normally a peaceful tiller of the soil, stopped at the plough and put into battle-harness by the politicians of Europe. Though now one of Wrangel's army he attributed all Russia's misfortunes to the "burgui." What a bourgeois really was he had not the remotest idea, but the word served.

When Sahim heard this, the light in his sight became Night, he donned his battle-harness; and, mounting steed, rode for the place where Gharib was a-hunting. He presently came up with him and found that he had taken great plenty of game; so he accosted him and saluted him and said, "O my brother, why didst thou go forth without telling me?"

For a toast he gave them "The damnation of all crop-ears." "Sirs," quoth he, "a fair beginning to a fair day. God send the evening find us as merry."
