If a maid were awake to sing to me but they sleep like the dead after the camel-ride, and Hasamurti, who sings best, is weariest of all." "Suppose I sing to you?" said Tess. "No, no; you are tired too." "Nonsense! It's nearly morning. I have slept for hours. Let me come and sing to you." "Can you? Will you? I am full of gladness, and my brain whirls with a thousand thoughts, but I ought to sleep."
The long camel-ride had slightly fatigued her, despite the great strength of body which she had been given by Egypt. She busied herself in the usual way of a woman arrived from a journey, changed her gown, bathed in a collapsible bath made of India rubber, put eau de Cologne on her forehead, arranged her hair before a mirror pinned to the sloping canvas.
On my mentioning that I had a great desire to try a camel-ride, the caid volunteered to send camels for our party, and to see that mine was properly caparisoned for the comfort and accommodation of a lady; and also to send his son to attend to my safety. Of course we accepted his polite offer, and the afternoon of the same day was fixed for the expedition.
Thus, if we were proud of our exaltation, we paid dearly for our pride, and when we returned from our excursion it was with a feeling of every limb being out of joint. It was days before we had completely recovered from the effects of this our first and, as I devoutly hoped, our last camel-ride.
