The idea of the Turk being ruled by anyone was received with special incredulity, and on his being pressed to explain who and what these mighty Ingleez were, he said they were a people from the North, tall of stature and of white complexion.
He knew that his religious cry of 'Ya Hoo' was characteristic of him, and he was always ready to shout it out to the 'Ingleez, whose generosity he had reason to appreciate.

Nobody could pronounce, at any rate recollect, my name. Mohammed said to me one day, "Ingleez, we have many names, have you no more than one? The ghafalah can't learn your name, it's too difficult. Make a name like ours, if you haven't one."
His servant, a withered baboon-looking little fellow, in the same dress, now made his appearance and presented coffee. Author. "Who would have expected to see a Persian on the borders of Bosnia? You Dervishes are great travellers." Dervish. "You Ingleez travel a great deal more; not content with Frengistan, you go to Hind, and Sind, and Yemen. Author. "Do you intend to go back?" Dervish.
