And I abode with her a whole month, forsaking shop and family and home, till one day she said to me, 'O light of my eyes, O my lord Mohammed, I have determined to go to the Hammam to day; so sit thou on this couch and rise not from thy place, till I return to thee. 'I hear and I obey, answered I, and she made me swear to this; after which she took her women and went off to the bath.
Then he hurried to his room, packed a very small trunk, and took the first train, as she had suggested, to Hammam R'rirha. "If you move from there mind you let me know your address," she said, as he was starting. "Of course." "I want always to know just where you are." "Of course I shall let you know. But I think I shall stay quietly at Hammam R'rirha."
Then he bade his Chief Officers take the Prince with them and repair to the Hammam and clothe him in one of the best of his own suits and bring him back speedily. So they obeyed his bidding and bore him to the bath and clad him in the clothes which King Shahriman had set apart for him; and brought him back to the presence chamber.
The northern part of the plain is known as Ard-el-Burajineh. The plain is deficient in water, yet is cultivated in olives and mulberries, and contains the largest olive grove in all Syria. The plain of Marathus is, next to Sharon, the most extensive in Phoenicia. The rock crops out from it in places and it is broken between Tortosa and Hammam by a line of low hills running parallel with the shore.
Another weary stretch brings one to El-Hamma, a small oasis fed by hot springs which the Romans long ago utilized, and where I had hoped to refresh myself with a Turkish bath. Alas! the hammam is only a shallow tank covered with palm-thatching; there were some twenty Arabs splashing about this establishment and soaping themselves and their boy-children bathing was out of the question.
Here is the Kaisarîya, restored after a fire in 1843; there is the street of the grain fandaks, and beyond is a hammám, now a dwelling-house. The site of the chief mosque is now the cathedral, in the chief chapel of which are buried the conquerors of Granáda.
They are between three and ten inches high, and those using them for the first time in the slippery Hammam must be careful. "Majlis"=sitting. The postures of coition, ethnologically curious and interesting, are subjects so extensive that they require a volume rather than a note.
Therewith he became whole and there abode in him no trace of the disease, which when Hasib saw, he said, "There is no help for it but thou go to the Hammam." So he carried him to the bath and washed his body; and when he came forth, it was like a wand of silver and he was restored to health, nay, sounder than he was before he fell ill.
For instance, they have their hair hennaed and their eyebrows plucked. You can also have your hands and feet hennaed, and, if you like it, be tattooed. The whole operation takes about four hours. It is often said by the ignorant that people can get as good a hammam in London or Paris as in the East.
That was because neither had seen the sudden light in Ourïeda's eyes after the face of Zakia had approached hers at the hammam. For the first day there was no solution of the mystery for Sanda, who had waited to hear she knew not what.
