Khan is "Chief," as has been noticed; "Zabbal," which Torrens renders literally "dung-drawer," is one who feeds the Hammam with bois- de-vache, etc. "Malik." The latter in poetry is still written Malik. The same chapter mentions "Zanjabil," or the Ginger-fount, which to the Infidel mind unpleasantly suggests "ginger pop." "Takhil" = adorning with Kohl. Mr. "Ukhuwan," the classical term.
Now this bath was in the house and Masrur found its walls and floors of rare and precious marbles, wrought with gold and silver, and its waters mingled with rose-water. Then the servants served Masrur and his company with the perfection of service; and, on their going forth of the Hammam, clad them in robes of honour, brocade-work interwoven with gold.
She continued, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that when the damsel said to the doctor, "'The stomach is the house of disease and diet is the head of healing; for the origin of all sickness is indigestion, that is to say, corruption of the meat in the stomach;" he rejoined, "Thou hast replied aright! what sayest thou of the Hammam?"

She hid the things in her clothing; and when she was turned out she still thought of me, not of herself. She knew I would go to the hammam before my marriage, and that Zakia had been sent for to bathe me and make me beautiful.

He remained barely a quarter of an hour in the large quiet resting-room, in the center of a row of cells containing the beds, with a parterre of African plants and a little fountain in the center.
All Arab brides of high rank or low must go through great ceremonies of the bath in the week of the wedding feast, and no exception could be made in Ourïeda's case. The privacy of the hammam was secured for the Agha's daughter by hiring it for a day, and no one was to be admitted to the women's part of the bath except the few ladies who had enough social importance to expect invitations.

At last I dropped the bridle, and went in, with my legs shaking under me. I found the little one alone in the house, and like a mad thing. She'd been alone all night." His face set rigidly. "And her mother knew I should be all night at the Hammam," he said. "Fin Tireur yes, it was coming back, and finding my little one left like that in such a place, made me earn the name."
When he came out of the Hammam, he donned a rich robe, purfled with gold and embroidered with jewels and jacinths; and, setting the royal crown on his head, sat down on his throne of kingship and ordered the affairs of the folk, doing equal justice between strong and weak, and exacting from the prince the dues of the pauper; wherefore the people loved him with exceeding love.
Hammam, is a collection of small sand-hills grouped together, around and upon which are palms. There is also a well of tolerably good water. This is what the people have received by tradition. Very hot this evening; the sun burnt us most extraordinarily.
