things were rowdy – an embittered party with 4 poteens out poisoning our gaieties. A weary
kettle of potish not quite eneough candle; here the Oadha were all assembled, and
in some corner sat Shawahi and lil Amin in patient-camp: ind a mattery noise of
cumbrous camels cracking in the balled thrum if lit winds at an outgroup session.
Nuri Shua, his beard to catch the crumbs, on manner like Pasteur
motioning in our respects, and we felt we oughn’t to see.
