I asked her maid afterwards about it. She's a pretty little Frenchwoman, and always waits in the cooling-room for her mistress. But she didn't seem to think anything of it. She said she very often does that, and it is best not to try and waken her. I must say she seemed much better afterwards. Brighter and more alert. What a lovely creature she is!" she added enthusiastically.
From thence you enter into the wide and spacious cooling-room belonging to the bath, from the opposite walls of which two curved basins are thrown out, so to speak; which are more than large enough if you consider that the sea is close at hand.
Again Sir Stanley examined his finger-nails as though searching for some flaw. "Then you will be surprised to learn," he drawled at last, "that you sat next to him in the cooling-room of the Yildiz Turkish Baths." The colonel's heart missed a beat, but he did not flinch. "You surprise me," he said. "I have only been to the Turkish baths once during the past three months, and that was yesterday."
Wicked children in former days have jeered you, exclaiming, "How are you off for soap?" You little knew what saponacity was till you entered a Turkish bath. When the whole operation is concluded, you are led with what heartfelt joy I need not say softly back to the cooling-room, having been robed in shawls and turbans as before.
