He tasted it, and held it to the light tasted it again and smacked his lips then turning to my master, exclaimed, "Thou dog of a Jew! wouldst thou have palmed off upon me vile trash, when thou hadst in thy possession wine which might be sipped with the houris in Paradise?" The Jew appealed to me if the pipes of wine were not all of the same quality; and I confirmed his assertion.
In his uncivilised soul Mahommed Hassan felt this murmur, and even as he sat waiting to know whether a little army would steal out of the south like phantoms into this circle the Saadat had drawn round him, he kept humming to himself had he not been, was he not now, an Apollo to numberless houris who had looked down at him from behind mooshrabieh screens, or waited for him in the palm-grove or the cane-field?
And in every palace two-and-seventy lovely houris will smile upon him young virgins of an immortal loveliness whose faces will never grow old or wrinkled, and who are a hundred times more affectionate than the women of this world." Halil listened with the utmost composure till greybeard Vuodi had delivered his discourse concerning the joys of Paradise.
But any pleasant day-dreams he may have cherished of tropical luxuries, of the indulgence of a farniente life in a grass hammock, gently balanced by Javan houris beneath banana shades, of spice-laden breezes and cool sherbets, and other attributes of a Mahomedan paradise, were speedily dissipated by the odious realities of filth and vermin, marsh-fever and mosquitoes.
She delivered a letter from Fian to another witch, which was to this effect: "Ye sall warne the rest of the sisteris to raise the winde this day at ellewin houris to stay the queenis cuming in Scotland." "Toad, that under cold stone Days and nights has thirty-one Sweltered venom sleeping got." This is her confession as to the methods adopted for raising the storm.
Then he had made for her a litter of red gold, inlaid with pearls and stones of price, and set apart two mules to carry it; a litter which was like one of the chambers of a palace, and within which she seemed as she were of the loveliest Houris and it became as one of the pavilions of Paradise.
First they hauled on board a stout Turk, who did not appear to be much the worse for his flight and ducking, except that he was, not unnaturally, in a dreadful fright. If he had conceived the idea that he had already entered Paradise, the big-whiskered jolly tars, instead of the houris he might have expected to welcome him, must quickly have shown him his mistake.
The celestial hurricane subsided in his bosom; he arose and again interrogated the heavens. The stars in the profound splendours of the sky stared at him like the naked eyes of houris. Suddenly a vast white cloud sailed over the edge of the horizon and as it approached his habitation assumed the shape of a monstrous dove, its fleecy wings moving in solemn rhythms.
"I'm thinking, Hamish, if the houris in his paradise kenned the words o' the spring I've been deaving him wi', the Egyptian would be very greatly thought of." When I was by with the reading of Dan's news, "Ye'll have another letter," said I, making signs at the pagan. "Yass," and at that he put it in my hands. It was for Belle.
For the first time, his heart beats stormily; for the first time, he feels a strange delight in his soul. Yes beautiful are these women, as are the houris in paradise, and enviable is he to whom they belong. Two of the eunuchs walk before the women, four walk beside them, and imperiously command them to draw their veils closer together.
