A kind of litter for the conveyance of women and the sick. A kind of litter for travelling in Persia and Arabia; two of them are slung across a camel or a mule; those for camels carry four persons. Viz., his state of castration. Zu-l-fakar, the name of a famous sword that 'Ali used to wear. The veiled horseman, 'Ali Mushkil-Kusha. In the original there is a play on the words haml and hamal.
He shook his head. Lyad smiled. She stroked the lined cheek with light finger tips. "Have you forgotten the palace at Hamal Lake?" she asked. "The great library? The laboratories? Haven't I been very generous?" Doctor Veetonia turned his face toward her. He smiled thoughtfully. "Now that is true!" he admitted. "For the moment I did forget." He looked back at Trigger.
After a few days he will forget and relapse into his old ways, but you must have patience. After all, I think we could put up with the Hamal if only he would not try to think. This is his crowning vice. In vain I try to impress upon him that I engaged him to obey orders, and would rather do the thinking myself.
Such is the Hamal in his youth, and as he grows older he gets more so. About middle life he sets hard, like plaster of Paris, his senses get obfuscated, and a shell appears to form on the outside of his intellect, so that access to his understanding becomes very difficult.
He could not imagine why, but he had noticed that insolence to Blaine himself was fairly safe, Blaine being super-humanly indifferent as long as Mrs. Blaine was shown respect, even exceeding the English in the absurd length to which he carried it. It was a mad world in Chamu's opinion. He went and fetched the hamal, who slunk through his task with the air of a condemned felon.
Rejoice in my good luck: congratulate me on my supreme happiness, and believe me, dear cynic and misanthrope, yours, in the best of health and spirits, GINEVRA LAURA DE HAMAL, nee FANSHAWE. "P.S. Remember, I am a countess now. Papa, mamma, and the girls at home, will be delighted to hear that. 'My daughter the Countess! 'My sister the Countess! Bravo! Sounds rather better than Mrs.
"What, a dear personage!" cried I, and commended Ginevra's taste warmly; and asked her what she thought de Hamal might have done with the precious fragments of that heart she had broken whether he kept them in a scent-vial, and conserved them in otto of roses?
Le Colonel Alfred de Hamal suits me far better. Va pour les beaux fats et les jolis fripons! Vive les joies et les plaisirs! A bas les grandes passions et les severes vertus!" She looked for an answer to this tirade. I gave none. "J'aime mon beau Colonel," she went on: "je n'aimerai jamais son rival. Je ne serai jamais femme de bourgeois, moi!"
It was after sunset and the hamal had not yet lit the lamps, so that this pantry, a dark room at mid-day, was far from light at that time. But for the fact that she knew exactly where everything was, and could put her hand on what she wanted, she would not have entered without a light. For some minutes the unfortunate lady stood on the stool.
The worthy Antonio, fat, spectacled, bald and wheezy, hurried away and peremptorily bade the hamal , son of a jungle-pig, to light and bring a lamp quickly.
