More and more lovely it grows next day, as we pass Samsoon, celebrated throughout the East for chibouque tobacco; Sinope, memorable as the place where the first blow of the Crimean War was delivered; and, on the morning of the third day, Ineboli, the "town of wines."
Some of them solaced themselves with the chibouque, as they sat with the comfort which can only be acquired after years of practice on the humps of their camels; the others, though silent and quiescent, did not look bored. Presently the one in front was attracted by an object a little out of his path, and turned to examine it more closely.
Hour after hour I sat there that night, smoking a chibouque, reading, and listening to the batteries and lamentations of that haunted air, shrinking from it, fearing even for the Speranza by her quay in the sequestered harbour, and for the palace-pillars.
That evening, after we had dined, and I was smoking my customary chibouque, Kabba Rega astonished me by an impromptu visit; he was as usual attended by some of his followers armed with muskets. He sat down at the table, and having felt the table-cloth, he wished to know "why the table was covered;" he then examined the tumblers, and everything that was present, all of which he seemed to admire.
Indeed, great Sheikh, the longer I live and the more I think and here the chibouque dropped gently from Tancred's mouth, and he himself sunk upon the carpet. The Road to Bethany BESSO is better, said the Consul Pasqualigo to Barizy of the Tower, as he met him on a December morning in the Via Dolorosa. 'Yes, but he is by no means well, quickly rejoined Barizy.
On the hump of the foremost is perched the turbaned driver, as majestic as Eleazar, the servant of Abraham, going to Mesopotamia to seek a wife for Isaac; he yields with lazy suppleness to the rough, but regular motions of the animal; sometimes smoking his chibouque as if he were seated at the door of a café, or pressing the slow pace of his steed.
Here am I lounging on an ottoman, my ambition reaching only so far as the possession of a chibouque, whose aromatic and circling wreaths, I candidly confess, I dare not here excite; and you, of course, much too knowing to be doing anything on the first of August save dreaming of races, archery feats, and county balls: the three most delightful things which the country can boast, either for man, woman, or child."
Mourad's widow, and those who accompanied her, entered this tent. He lay on the divan, smoking his chibouque. But upon her appearance at the entrance to the tent, he sprang to his feet. "You here, Sitta-you in the camp at Aboukir?" "I have come to speak with you," she replied, earnestly. "Let the rest leave the tent.
A Nubian rushes into his apartment, and announces, in tones of dismay: "You are betrayed, the khaznadar has surrendered, and the rebels are storming the palace." Cousrouf bounds from his seat, hurls from him his chibouque, and quickly girds on his sword. "We will hurl them back. Let Mohammed Ali come with his troops. He will vanquish them and overthrow the traitor, Taher Pacha.
