She had flung down on the table a cigarette which she had managed to get at Madame Cassandra's. "Smoke it."

"Hashish," she answered tersely. "Things were not going fast enough to suit either Madame Cassandra or Drummond.
Braham, Hazlitt might have said, is so obviously the anagram of Brahma that dulness itself could not mistake the object intended. Of course no one can hold Emerson responsible for the "Yoga" doctrine of Brahmanism, which he has amused himself with putting in verse. The oriental side of Emerson's nature delighted itself in these narcotic dreams, born in the land of the poppy and of hashish.
If the temperature of the blood is raised in fever, the mental processes may go over into far-reaching confusion; if hashish is smoked, the mind wanders to paradise, and a few glasses of wine may give a new mental optimism and exuberance; a cup of tea may make us sociable, a dose of bromide may annihilate the irritation of our mind, and when we inhale ether, the whole content of consciousness fades away.

The widow, unmoved by this rude exposure of her way of life, only broke her silence to ask Mace the current prices on the Stock Exchange. One discovery, however, disturbed her equanimity.

Maximilian swallowed some of the mysterious substance, which was but hashish. He sat down and waited. "Monte Cristo," he said, "I feel that I am dying good-bye!"
A youth in skirts began to posture and dance an unfinished dance of the dreamer who has been led by hashish into a world that is sweet and vague. "I'll tell you about him later," whispered Starnworth. That night they sat up in the hotel till the third time of the Moslem's prayer was near at hand.
That, too, was a slave a slave in the Eastern house of Baroudi. Slowly she closed her eyes, in the Eastern house of Baroudi. Here Baroudi lay, as she was lying, and smoked the keef, and ate the hashish, and dreamed. He would never be the slave of a woman. She felt sure of that. But he might make a woman his slave. At moments, when he looked at her, he had the eyes of a slave-owner.
He lay back in his chair, laughing to himself and holding up his hands at the thought of it, and at the sight of him Dr. Silence laughed too. "Go on, please," he said, "I quite understand.
