I offer you the opportunity. If you refuse it " And he shrugged his shoulders meaningly, without concluding his sentence. Rayne was silent for a few seconds.

They then demanded cloths for the trouble I had given them, but, not receiving any, retired in huge disgust. 18th. In final despair I faced about, and marched north-easterly, by a new route, to reach Bunder Gori again, to ship for Aden, as there only could I be certain of finding a vessel to convey me over the Gulf.
The distance we had made was only about five miles from Bunder Gori, but the camels were so fatigued by travelling over boulders, that we were obliged to unload and stop there for the day.
The real native name now used is Cho-sen, though occasionally in the vernacular the kingdom goes by the name of Gori, or the antiquated Korai.
After refreshing ourselves we resumed the march, and travelled along the sandy shore eastward to a halting-place called Farjeh, completing a march of twelve miles. 29th. This day we completed our journey by marching into Gori, when I again took occupation of the old fort.
The Somali keep cattle here, but with much apparent difficulty, being, from the scarcity of springs and want of water, obliged to march about, following the last falls of rain, to obtain fresh herbage for their cattle. My first and greater journey gave me an insight into this portion of the interior of the country south of Bunder Gori.

Now what he required was sympathy, admiration, adoration, of the most burning description. This was possible, towards such a man, only from a woman.
At last he said in a strange, hard voice "I've received news to-day which every other man beside myself would regard as the very worst information possible, and yet, to me, it is the most welcome." "What's that?" I inquired. "I saw two doctors, Pellegrini and Gori, to-day, and both have said the same thing I am dying. In a few weeks I shall have ceased to trouble anybody." "Dying!"
But after some months at Siena, where his thoughts had been entirely absorbed in the literary projects which he discussed with his new friend, the grave and good and serious-minded Gori, and one or two Sienese professors, after that first feeling of attraction had died away, and he felt himself covered, as it were, with an impenetrable armour of poetic interests, Alfieri decided, on his return to Florence, that he was quite sufficiently of a new man to expose himself without any danger to such a lady as the Countess of Albany.
