Shumse ad Deen went out to seek him, but, instead of seeing Buddir ad Deen, was surprised to find hump-back with his head on the ground, and his heels uppermost, as the genie had set him against the wall.

For her he darted, and dropped suddenly into her lap a big-eyed, hump-back toad.

His mouth was a little to a side; one nostril nearly shut, and the other much inflated.
