They swept by Lothair in their progress to the instrument, like the passage of sultanas to some kiosk on the Bosporus. It seemed to him that he had never beheld any thing so resplendent. The air was perfumed by their movement and the rustling of their wondrous robes. "They must be of the Aryan race," thought Lothair, "though not of the Phidian type."
Rome! the Coliseum and Saint Peter But I know Italy by heart; let us go instead to Constantinople. I am thirsting for sultanas and houris; I am thirsting " "Good gracious! why do you not drink if you are thirsty?" "Gladly. I never say no to that. I scorn love in a nightcap; I adore danger. Danger is life to me.
And together they walked out of the dense shadow of the trees and past the marble bath of the sultanas to a certain seat beneath a bower on which were cushions, and lying among them a lute. "Seat yourself at my feet," she said, as she sank on to the bench. "Can you sing?" "No more than a crow," he answered. "Then I must sing to you. Well, it will be better than the love-making."
The sleeves reached far down over his hands, the tight fitting, gold buttoned jacket strangely resembled a cross between a bag and an overcoat, and though a serious reef had been taken in the trousers at the waist line, the legs would twist and sway at times being almost as ample as those worn by the Turkish sultanas. Our coachman now arrived with our luggage.
If the stones are disliked, seedless raisins, or even sultanas, may be used, but the large raisins give rather better results. Rub the nutter into the flour, add the raisins, which should be well dried after washing, and mix with enough water to form a dough which almost, but not quite drops from the spoon. Put into a greased tin, which should be very hot, and bake in a hot oven at first.

I was immediately informed of it by one of the Sultanas, with whom I was become a great favourite, and she secreted me in her apartment while the officer charged with my execution was, with his assistants, in search of me. That very night I made my escape on board a vessel bound to Venice, which was then weighing anchor to proceed on her voyage.
So he gave up his flute, exalted sentiments, and poetry; for every bourgeois in the flush of his youth, were it but for a day, a moment, has believed himself capable of immense passions, of lofty enterprises. The most mediocre libertine has dreamed of sultanas; every notary bears within him the debris of a poet.
'I have brought you all sorts of buffooneries from Stamboul, continued Cadurcis; 'sweetmeats, and slippers, and shawls, and daggers worn only by sultanas, and with which, if necessary, they can keep "the harem's lord" in order. I meant to have sent them with George to England, for really I did not anticipate our meeting here.
