I'm worried about Caird, and we're all a bit dilapidated. How we're to get him and the ladies away from this place, I don't know. Our animals are dead or dying." "You will probably find that the enemy has been generous in spite of himself and left you some all that couldn't be taken away. Strange how those men looked like Touaregs! You are sure of what they really were?" "Sure.
They also show great scorn for those who lead a life relatively less barbarous, and who adorn themselves as much as the Touaregs can by means of science and commerce: "The Tsaggmaren are not men, Not lance of iron, nor yet of wood, They are not in harness, not in saddles, They have no handsome saddle-bags, They've naught of what makes mankind proud; They've no fat and healthy camels, The Tsaggmaren; don't speak of them; They are people of a mixed race, There is no condition not found with them.
"I am not going back to London for a very long time," she replied with energy. "You will stay here many weeks?" "Months, perhaps. And perhaps I shall travel on into the desert. Yes, I must do that." "If we followed the white road into the desert, and went on and on for many days, we should come at last to Tombouctou," said Batouch. "But very likely we should be killed by the Touaregs.
Among them all relationship is still maternal and confers both rank and inheritance. “The child follows the blood of the mother,” and the son of a slave or serf father and a noble woman is noble. “It is the womb which dyes the child,” the Touaregs say in their primitive language.

We saw no one, but as we were hoping to surprise the bordj these six men, who looked from a distance like Touaregs, rushed out, mounted horses and camels and dashed away, striking westward."

Because of his religious vow to wear a mask always like a Touareg, none of the ruling race had ever seen the marabout's features, yet his power was known far and wide in Morocco; all along the caravan route to Tombouctou; in the capital of the Touaregs; in Algiers; and even in Paris itself.
