"Signorita! signorita! tabiba!" she kept repeating, wailing, and then a torrent of Shillah and Arabic and Spanish would follow, and we were at our wits' end.
Now that this disease had broken out, her husband would probably divorce her. If she were cured, she might marry again. "But," said her friends, "suppose she dies? What shall we get for our money then?" So they sent to the English tabiba, who cures for nothing. Miss Banks left ointment and medicine.
After two or three mistakes, we hit upon the right one, and knocked at an old, battered, rat-eaten entrance falling to pieces. "Anna. Tabiba," called Miss Banks; and the door was opened by a countryman, a Riffi, rough-looking, only a coarse jellab over him, but with a kind expression on his face. The space inside was something like a chicken-pen.
But the way above all others to travel in Morocco is to secure the help of a missionary and to go with him. The missionary arrives at a remote village, and the countryside flocks to him to have its teeth pulled out, its sores doctored, its fevers cured; and if the tabiba wishes to go on farther, by whatever path, who shall gainsay him, while he carries life and health in his hands?
