Besides all this, there were a number of small commissions; so he took his hat and went out. As the news had spread abroad, Madame Caravan's female friends and neighbors soon began to come in and begged to be allowed to see the body. There had been a scene between husband and wife at the hairdresser's on the ground floor about the matter, while a customer was being shaved.
It seemed to me we had felt as sorry for them poor people as a person could for anybody, and as mournful, too, but we was mistaken; this last caravan's death went harder with us, a good deal harder.
The fresh air on the faces of the two men rather overcame them at first, made the doctor lose his equilibrium a little, and increased Caravan's giddiness, from which he had suffered since dinner.
And what is the name of the new commissioner?" "Bonassot." "'Bonassot Toulon. Born in 1851. Student-Commissioner in 1871. Sub-Commissioner in 1875. Has he been to sea?" she continued, and at that question Caravan's looks cleared up, and he laughed until his sides shook. "Just like Balin just like Balin, his chief."
I repressed my curiosity, therefore, and followed him, reciting those ejaculations which are customary on entering the holy city. I travelled several times afterwards between Mekka and Djidda, in both directions. The caravan's rate of march is here very slow, scarcely exceeding two miles an hour. I have ridden from Mekka to Djidda upon an ass in thirteen hours.
I wished to throw myself on that brutal The Arab chief appears, seizes my arm, and holds me till I find myself again in the caravan's last rank. Then, in his turn, he pronounces the name, "Negoro!" Negoro! It is then by the Portuguese's orders that he acts and treats me differently from my companions in misfortune? For what fate am I reserved? May 10th. To-day passed near two villages in flames.
Their route lay through an interminable sequence of plains held together by channels of communication that filtered through the gaps in hills. The road was crossed by small streams, chuckling at the bottom of gullies, the sides of which were cracked open like pale, parched lips gasping for air. The limpid transparency of the prospect was blotted by the caravan's moving dust cloud.
Telegraph the news to all the family. Besides all this there were a number of small commissions; so he took his hat and went out, and as the news had got abroad, Madame Caravan's female friends and neighbors soon began to come in, and begged to be allowed to see the body.
