Many an Armenian I have subsequently known fond of money-getting, and not destitute of national spirit; but never another, who, in the midst of his schemes of lucre, was at all times willing to enter into a conversation on the structure of the Haik language, or who ever offered me money to render into English the fables of Z in the hope of astonishing the stock-jobbers of the Exchange with the wisdom of the Haik Esop.
"I am ready," said Belle, returning, and taking her former seat, "to join with you in anything which will serve to pass away the time agreeably, provided there is no harm in it." "Belle," said I, "I have determined to commence the course of Armenian lessons by teaching you the numerals; but, before I do that, it will be as well to tell you that the Armenian language is called Haik."
The bey moved on with his suite. They were all fine specimens of their race, beautifully chiselled features and pure profiles, complexions of a warm pallor of which the snowy whiteness of the haik absorbed even the reflection.
He adored the valorous knight commander; he was his true forbear, the best of them all, the rebel, the demon of the family! Jaime entered the tower and struck a light; he flung around his shoulders the Arabian haik of coarse weave that served him for his nocturnal excursions, and taking a book he tried to distract himself until Pepet should bring his supper.
Literature is a fine thing, especially Haik literature, but neither that nor any other would be likely to serve as a foundation to a man's fortune: and to make a fortune should be the principal aim of every one's life; therefore listen to me. Accept a seat at the desk opposite to my Moldavian clerk, and receive the rudiments of a merchant's education.
In an hour, the moon will have circled behind the mountain. That will be the time." She sat silent, her haik wrapped completely about her dark little figure. Was she praying? Perhaps. Suddenly I no longer saw her. Darkness had crept in the window. The moon had turned. Tanit-Zerga's hand was on my arm. She drew me toward the abyss. I tried not to tremble. Everything below us was in shadow.
As for the Kabyle of more vulgar position, take away his haik and his bornouse, trim the points of his beard, and we have a perfect German head. Beside these we set a representative Arab head, sketched in the streets of Algiers.
When Allah sends the sands we should cover the face and play the ladies' game within the cafe, we should not travel on the road towards the south." Ali said nothing, but drew up his haik over his mouth and nose, and looked into the night, folding his thin hands in his burnous. "Achmed will sleep in the Bordj of Arba," continued Batouch in a low, murmuring voice, as if speaking to himself.
Get me away from here." "Not so loud," she whispered. "There is a white Targa on guard at the door." "Take me away; save me," I repeated. "That is what I came for," she said simply. I looked at her. She no longer was wearing her beautiful red silk tunic. A plain white haik was wrapped about her; and she had drawn one corner of it over her head.
In this island where everyone was more or less united by ties of blood, the distant relationship, although it required that he participate in the mourning, did not oblige him to don the haik worn on solemn occasions. He was dressed in black, and covered with a light wool mantle and a round felt hat that gave him a certain ecclesiastic air.
