"That's jes' what I've been thinkin' mesilf," said Molly. "I don't see no signs of money bein' spint on this place nather for one thing or anuther." "You don't always have to spend money to get craps," said Mike; "look at our corn and pertaters. They is fust rate, and when we sends our craps to market, there won't be much to take for 'spenses out of what we git."
Well of Maseen. Rate of Travelling. Our Ghafalah divides in two on account of the difficulty of obtaining Water for so large a Caravan. Es-Sărāb, or The Mirage. Gobemouche Politicians. Camels, fond of dry Bones. Geological Features of Plateau. Desert Tombs and Tumuli Directors. Intense cold of The Desert. Well of Nather. Savage Disposition of Camels. Mr. Fletcher's advice to Desert Tourists.
'Och, be the powers! he exclaimed 'it's nather a sword nor a pistol I want at all, but only a nate little bit of shillalab in my fist, to bate the thieves of the worruld, and scatter them like the praste scatters the divil wid holy water.
Sheikh Makouran took me to-day before the Rais and Kady, and in their presence a long "Testimonial" of the people of Ghadames was drawn out in Arabic, stating that during the time I had resided in Ghadames I had conducted myself well, and given no offence to any one. This was signed by the Kady, on behalf of all the people, in presence of the Rais and the Nather and several other officers.
"Weel, then," said Jem, imperfectly comprehending the signs made to him by the reeve, "the hut looks nather to t' south naw to t' north, but to t' west; it feaces t' moor; an there is a path fro' it to Hook Cliff." As he finished speaking, he saw from the reeve's angry gestures that he had made a mistake, but it was now too late to recall his words. However, he determined to make an effort.
Some Osages has honor to shame a white man, aven an Irishman, but he's not Osage. He's a Kiowa, the kind that stole that little chap years ago up toward Rid Range. An' he ain't Kiowa altogether nather. The Injun blood gives him cuteness, but half his cussedness is in that soft black scalp an' that soft voice sayin', 'Good Injun. There's some old Louis XIV somewhere in his family tree.
Bodagh, you have no nather in you no bowels for your colleen dahs. But I'll spake for her I'll argue wid you till this time to-morrow, or I'll make you show feelin' to her an' if you don't if you don't " "Wid the help o' God, the man's as mad as a March hare," observed Mrs. O'Brien, "and there's no use in losin' breath wid him." "If it's not insanity," said John, "I know not what it is."
I want to know why you tag after me every place I go. No gentleman would do that." "Maybe not, nor a lady nather," O'mie interposed. Lettie's face burned angrily. "And you've been saying things about me. You've got to quit it. Only a dirty coward would talk about a girl as you do." She stamped her foot and her pudgy hands were clenched into hard little knots.
The native Governor, or Nāther, and the Kady, are besides chosen from one or other party, and have authority over all the inhabitants of Ghadames. But here closes their mutual transactions. It is a long settled time-out-of-mind, nay, sacred rule, with them, as a whole, "Not to intermarry, and not to visit each other's quarters, if it can possibly be avoided."
An European travelling this route should always provide himself with water enough at the well of Nather to last him from six to eight days. My skin-bags have got out of order, and I did not make inquiries of the people about this well. At one well a traveller should always make inquiry about the water of the next well. This is indispensable if an European tourist would have water fit to drink.
