The Armenian was silent some time; all at once, glancing at one of the wire cases, with which, as I have already said, the walls of the room were hung, he asked me if I was well acquainted with the learning of the Haiks. ‘The books in these cases,’ said he, ‘contain the masterpieces of Haik learning.’ ‘No,’ said I; ‘all I know of the learning of the Haiks is their translation of the Bible.’
"Observe you those men seated on the benches by those portals: they are Mahasniah, they are my brethren. See their haiks how white, see their turbans how white. O that you could see their swords in the day of war, for bright, bright are their swords. Now they bear no swords. Wherefore should they? Is there not peace in the land? See you him in the shop opposite?
How came you to know aught of Armenian? New acquaintance Wired cases Bread and wine Armenian colonies Learning without money What a language The tide Your foible Learning of the Haiks Old proverb Pressing invitation.
"Allah has smitten her," said an Arab "Blind and dumb and deaf," said another Moor "God be gracious to my father!" said another Arab.

The jewelry and the tissues, the bornouses and haiks, the blacksmith-work and ammunition, which fill the markets of Morocco, Tunis and the countries toward the desert, are scattered from off these crags, which Nature has forbidden to man by her very strongest prohibitions.

"The books in these cases," said he, "contain the masterpieces of Haik learning." "No," said I, "all I know of the learning of the Haiks is their translation of the Bible." "You have never read Z ?" "No," said I, "I have never read Z "
"Rather would he sell one of his Sultanas." But he had sent her a present of four haiks, which she shewed us; they were extremely fine and white. "These," she observed, "are the ten thousand dollars paid in private, but which the Sultan could not refuse me in public." Another character whom we visited, was the distinguished Rabbi, Coriante.
"And the beasts will be in the court. Nothing can remain outside, for there will be a greater roaring of the wind at Arba. Can it be the will of Allah that we rest in the tents to-morrow?" Ali made no answer. The wind had suddenly died down. The sand grains came no more against their eyelids and the folds of their haiks.
It was very cold, being the last week in November, and all were wrapped in heavy woollen haiks over their white garments, except one wild-looking fellow, whose legs and arms were bare, and who only seemed to possess one garment of coarse dark sackcloth.
