We dined at mid-day by fine weather, the windows of the principal apartments being thrown open, so as to have the view of the valley, which was here nearly as wide as at Liubovia, but with broken ground. For the first time since leaving Belgrade we dined, not at an European table, but squatted round a sofra, a foot high, in the Eastern manner, although we ate with knives and forks.
For two months before that, we, O lord, received nothing, neither barley cakes, nor fish, nor olive oil for our bodies." "What is thy answer to this, worthy lord?" asked the prince of the nomarch. "He is a dangerous drunkard, a foul liar," answered Sofra. "What noise didst Thou make in my honor?" "That which was commanded," said the giant.
If any man strangled that laborer at command of the nomarch, he will not confess; the laborer himself is dead, and will not say anything; besides, what would his complaint against the nomarch amount to? In these conditions no court would begin to investigate." "But if I command?" asked the viceroy. "In that case they will investigate and prove the innocence of Sofra.
But once, when he saw that the temple of the god Sebak stood on a lofty eminence, he desired to ascend the pylon and examine the surrounding country. The worthy Sofra accomplished at once the will of the heir, who, when he found himself on the summit of the pylon, passed a couple of hours with great delight there. The province of Ka was a fertile plain.
It was a large court surrounded by columns and paved with mosaic. All the walls were covered with paintings representing scenes in the lives of the ancestors of Sofra; hence expeditions by sea, hunts, and battles. Over the space, instead of a roof, was a giant butterfly with many-colored wings which were moved by hidden slaves to freshen the atmosphere.
