"At eleven ten minutes' time I am to be leaning from the window gazing at Orion as you too so we agreed will be gazing. Each will know the other has his thoughts, and we will say 'good-night.

Call me Karema the Arab, or Karema the Cup, which you will, but by the name of Thoth, god of learning, do /not/ call me queen." "Karema then," I said. "Well, how do you know that I tire of all this, Karema?"

Your brother Albert handled him rough, didn't he? Sarved him right. I say, if a man is onrespectful to a woman, her brother had orter thrash him; and your'n done it. His eye's blacker'n my boot.
