"If your aunt for a moment thought that there were any insects in that dog, she would be ill." "But I'm sure that there are some in his coat, uncle," I said, "for if you watch him when he's lying on the hearth-rug to-night, every now and then he jumps up and snaps at them, and bites the place." "Shush! yes, my boy," he whispered; "but don't talk about it. Your aunt is so particular.

There are brass goods of all kinds, and copperware with a partial tin coating called washed tin." The conversation paused long enough for a few bites of lunch, then Bartouki resumed. "We try to take good care of tourists in the United Arab Republic, both in Egypt and in Syria. For example, we license our guide-interpreters, who are called dragomen.
