But at first it was a real effort to take in a tenth part of surroundings so different from those of England; and when we found ourselves in the sok the hub of Moorish life it was to be jostled by donkey-drivers shouting "Baarak!
We overtook a string of camels as we neared the sok, strolling along and regarding the skies, R. and myself with an exaggerated superciliousness.

That time was now come. In eagerness and impatience, in hot blood and anger, the people had gathered in the Sok three hours after midday. The Judges had reassembled in the synagogue in the early morning.
