over-verdure

Updated: May 5, 2025

The view down the regular and tree-dotted slope of the Wady el-Marwat, as far as the flats of Bada, was charming, an Argelez without its over-verdure. From the Col two roads lead to our day's destination. The short cut to the right was reported stony: as most of our mules were casting their irons and falling lame, I avoided it by the advice of Furayj, thereby giving huge offence to old 'Afnan.
