Then the favorite slave and the faithful caique-ji the one who found the little cove even on the darkest night put their heads together two very cunning and wise heads, one black and wrinkled and the other sun-tanned and yellow with the result that one night a new odalisque, a dark-skinned, black-haired houri, the exact opposite of the fair-skinned, fair-haired Yuleima, joined the coterie in the harem of the palace of the prince.

From the first the subaltern took a great liking to the tall Punjaubi Mahommedan and hook-nosed, fair-skinned Pathan native officers and sepoys of the detachment.
