Some masters, it might be noted, however, permit the girl to speak their name, if it is accompanied by an acknowledgment of title, as in, say, "Hassan, Master," or "Hassan, my Master". |
10 |
| 12 | 115 |
"I do not understand how it is that I, Hassan," Hassan had said, "was not first picked for the pleasure of the mistress". |
10 |
| 13 | 42 |
"And you," said the man, indicating Hassan, "are Hassan, the bandit". |
10 |
| 25 | 134 |
"And Hassan the bandit," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 308 |
"Are you thinking, Hassan," I asked, "what I am? That there might be one hope for her life?" "Perhaps," grinned Hassan. |
10 |
| 26 | 261 |
First, she had called out his name at Red Rock, among the flames, during the raid of Tarna's men; secondly, she had fled from his riders, to return to Red Rock, to seek him out, when she had been captured; third, she had, that very evening, upon discovering who might be her master, cried out his nam... |

10 |

I Become the Guest of Hassan the Bandit I did not sleep as well as I might have that night, for, from time to time, clouds of riders, with bows and lances, swept through the streets of Nine Wells, returning from one sortie into the desert or another. |

"No, Hassan!" cried one of the girls. |
10 |
| 9 | 14 |

10 |
| 9 | 19 |
"In the sun," said Hassan to two others of his men. |
10 |
| 9 | 26 |
"Free her," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 29 |
At a gesture from Hassan, one of the men, from a small coffer to one side, drew forth a golden tarn disk, and gave it to the girl. |
10 |
| 9 | 32 |
"No," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 59 |
Alyena, anguished, tears in her eyes, looked at Hassan, her master. |
10 |
| 9 | 61 |
"Leave the tent or be lashed, Slave," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 67 |
"No, Hassan! No!" she cried, the golden tarn disk clutched in her small palm. |
10 |
| 9 | 73 |
"Please, Hassan," she wept, "keep me as a slave girl!" "But you are free," he said. |
10 |
| 9 | 77 |
Whip me for it! Though I was fortunate enough never to be collared or branded, or mastered, I am a natural slave! Though I have lived as a free woman since birth, I concealed the fact that I was a true slave!" "And when did you learn this fact?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 83 |
She stood before Hassan, relaxed, soft, though frightened, her right foot at a right angle with her left, turning her hip out, opening her beauty to him, as a slave girl. |
10 |
| 9 | 84 |
"I confess to you, Hassan," she said, "what I have never confessed to any other man—that I am a slave girl". |
10 |
| 9 | 87 |
"It is true," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 97 |
Hassan indicated to his man that he should release the girl. |
10 |
| 9 | 99 |
"Do you understand what you are saying?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 106 |
"Please, Hassan," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 108 |
"Yes, Hassan," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 123 |
The collar, from behind, was put about her throat and locked; her head was jerked sideways as, by the collar chain, in the fist of one of Hassan's men, she was secured by the snap lock at the chain's free end, to the stake ring. |
10 |
| 9 | 124 |
Her ankles were chained, snapped into the ankle rings; her right wrist was then locked in a slave bracelet; Hassan's man, reaching under her right leg, by the dangling bracelet, rudely jerked her right hand and wrist under her right leg; he then locked her left wrist in the bracelet, confining her h... |
10 |
| 9 | 126 |
When free women and slave girls are chained together, it is common to respect the distinction between them by chaining them somewhat differently; in this case the free girl's hands were braceleted before her body, the slave's were fastened below her right leg; it is common for the slave to be placed... |
10 |
| 9 | 127 |
Hassan slipped the golden tarn disk into his wallet. |
10 |
| 9 | 131 |
"Give us more tea," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 133 |
"Are you not afraid the free girl will kill her?" I asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 137 |
"No," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 144 |
"Alyena," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 161 |
"Give the free girl water," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 163 |
"The slave will wait until she is branded before she drinks," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 9 | 164 |
"Yes, Hassan," said one of the men. |
10 |
| 9 | 165 |
"Water her after the kaiila," said Hassan to Alyena. |
10 |
| 9 | 168 |
Hassan shrugged. |
10 |
| 9 | 183 |
"As a free woman," smiled Hassan, "she would have brought me nothing". |
10 |
| 9 | 193 |
"Hassan, the bandit," I said. |

Hassan Departs From the Oasis of Two Scimitars The oasis of Two Scimitars is an out-of-the-way oasis, under the hegemony of the Bakahs, which, for more than two hundred years, following their defeat in the Silk War of 8,110 C. |
10 |
| 10 | 15 |
"It is Hassan," said a voice. |
10 |
| 10 | 17 |
"Tal," said Hassan, to the merchant who stood at his stirrup. |
10 |
| 10 | 19 |
Hassan stood in his stirrups, looking about at the palms, the red-clay walls, the buildings of mud, some domed, of the oasis, the gardens. |
10 |
| 10 | 21 |
"Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 25 |
Only she now wore the name which she had borne as a free woman as a slave name, to shame her, given to her by her master, Hassan, the bandit. |
10 |
| 10 | 26 |
Her companion prize, whose name was Tafa, was bound similarly before the saddle of one of Hassan's men. |
10 |
| 10 | 29 |
Others of the men of Hassan led pack kaiila, containing in their burdens goods taken from the caravan plundered four days ago. |
10 |
| 10 | 51 |
"Aretai are sleen," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 55 |
Hassan, nor his men, did not even cry out in outrage. |
10 |
| 10 | 56 |
Then Hassan said, thinly, "Do not jest". |
10 |
| 10 | 58 |
"Aretai are sleen," said Hassan, "but yet are they of the Tahari". |
10 |
| 10 | 60 |
"Do you wish to see?" "No," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 62 |
Hassan's face was white. |
10 |
| 10 | 73 |
He was looking up at Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 80 |
"He is Hakim of Tor," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 86 |
"I wish to leave before dawn," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 93 |
"Interesting, Hassan," smiled the merchant, "that it should be the slave you choose to carry before your saddle". |
10 |
| 10 | 94 |
Hassan shrugged. |
10 |
| 10 | 96 |
"True," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 98 |
"Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 102 |
"I have branded many women," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 107 |
"Touch her, and see," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 121 |
"Bring them in," said he to Hassan, and his man. |
10 |
| 10 | 124 |
Hassan, his man, I, and others of his men, slowly, on kaiila, filed into the courtyard, following the merchant. |
10 |
| 10 | 146 |
"Hassan?" asked the merchant. |
10 |
| 10 | 147 |
"Very well," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 154 |
"Keep me, Hassan," she begged. |
10 |
| 10 | 158 |
"Keep me, Hassan!" she wept. |
10 |
| 10 | 160 |
"What is she worth?" asked Hassan of the merchant. |
10 |
| 10 | 162 |
"Hassan!" cried the girl. |
10 |
| 10 | 163 |
"Done," said Hassan, selling his slave. |
10 |
| 10 | 164 |
"No, Hassan!" she cried. |
10 |
| 10 | 166 |
"Agreed," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 167 |
"Hassan!" cried the slave girl. |
10 |
| 10 | 171 |
She looked over her right shoulder at Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 172 |
"Hassan!" she cried. |
10 |
| 10 | 173 |
Hassan took the moneys from the merchant. |
10 |
| 10 | 175 |
"Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 176 |
"Hassan!" cried the girl. |
10 |
| 10 | 196 |
Neither of us, Hassan, nor myself, responded to him. |
10 |
| 10 | 198 |
Earlier, though it had not been our original intention, following our commercial interaction, in which Hassan had exchanged his plunder, flesh and otherwise, for gold, we had been conducted by the merchant to the well, shattered, perhaps ruined. |
10 |
| 10 | 200 |
Hassan's fists had clenched. |
10 |
| 10 | 209 |
"And strangest of all," said the merchant, leaning forward, looking at us intently, "is the fact that the Aretai raiders were led by a woman!" "A woman?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 211 |
"And the war messengers have already been sent?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 213 |
"Has there been talk of truce, of discussion?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 215 |
"Of course not!" "And what word," asked Hassan, "has been heard from Haroun, high pasha of the Kavars?" "Who knows where Haroun is?" asked the merchant, spreading his hands. |
10 |
| 10 | 217 |
"I see," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 220 |
"I am weary," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 225 |
"He does not know officially," said Hassan, "and I do not wish him to have to dispatch a hundred soldiers to ride about in the desert searching for us, to satisfy outraged citizens. |
10 |
| 10 | 229 |
"Perhaps," smiled Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 231 |
"I suppose so," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 233 |
"Welcomed by night, sought by day," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 236 |
"I wish that the men of other oases were so complicated," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 239 |
"But to whom do you sell the goods I bring you?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 241 |
"They know?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 243 |
"I see," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 250 |
Outside, shortly before dawn, when drops of moisture beaded on the rocks, Hassan and I, and his men, put our left feet into the stirrup of our saddles and mounted our swift beasts. |
10 |
| 10 | 251 |
"Hassan," said I. |
10 |
| 10 | 254 |
"Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 256 |
"Did he escape?" asked Hassan, smiling. |
10 |
| 10 | 258 |
"That, too, is my intelligence," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 260 |
"No," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 262 |
"It would be hard riding," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 265 |
"It might have been hidden in the desert," suggested Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 268 |
"I do not know," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 271 |
"It would, indeed," smiled Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 272 |
"Yet the raiders wore the garments of Aretai, the saddle markings, shouted 'For Nine Wells and Suleiman!'" "You and I, too," smiled Hassan, "might arrange such matters, and shout boldly". |
10 |
| 10 | 274 |
"Odd," said Hassan, "that they should shout 'For Nine Wells and Suleiman!'" "Why?" I asked. |
10 |
| 10 | 275 |
"The names of leaders," said Hassan, "do not figure in the war cries of Aretai, nor of most tribes. |
10 |
| 10 | 278 |
"Do the Kavars have a similar cry?" "Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 280 |
"No," said Hassan, "Aretai did not raid Two Scimitars". |
10 |
| 10 | 282 |
"A well was broken," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 287 |
"Who, then," I asked, "raided the oasis of the Sand Sleen, the oasis of Two Scimitars?" "I do not know," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 291 |
"If war erupts, fully, in the desert," said Hassan, "the desert, for all practical purposes, will be closed. |
10 |
| 10 | 296 |
"Strange," said Hassan, "that these matters should occur now". |
10 |
| 10 | 298 |
"Doubtless it is only a coincidence," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 336 |
"Of course not," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 340 |
"Hassan is generous," I laughed. |
10 |
| 10 | 349 |
"You will not, for you are my guest," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 358 |
"True," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 367 |
Hassan threw back his head and laughed. |
10 |
| 10 | 372 |
"She loves you," I told Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 381 |
"It is near dawn," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 395 |
"I took the body," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 10 | 399 |
"He was my brother," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 1 |
Red Rock, Where Salt is Shared; Hassan and I Encounter Tarna "You do not wear bells on your kaiila harness!" said the man, threatening us with his lance. |
10 |
| 11 | 2 |
"We come in peace," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 4 |
Hassan turned aside his kaiila, with its single rein, and continued our journey, his nine men, myself, and the slave girl, Alyena, following, on our kaiila. |
10 |
| 11 | 9 |
"Perhaps there is no steel tower," I suggested to Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 15 |
Hassan, in his own burnoose, sheltered the girl, Alyena, commonly keeping her wrists braceleted behind her, that she not forget she was slave. |
10 |
| 11 | 19 |
Hassan was the first to stand. |
10 |
| 11 | 35 |
The men of the Tahari, however, led by Hassan, sought quickly the highest ground in the vicinity. |
10 |
| 11 | 39 |
They sank to their knees in the mud, snorting, eyes rolling, and we, mud to our hips, pushing and pulling, sometimes actually seizing one of their mired limbs, freeing it and moving it, at last brought them to the place Hassan had designated, the lee side of a rocky formation. |
10 |
| 11 | 40 |
Hassan put Alyena, whom he had carried, beside him. |
10 |
| 11 | 44 |
"It is unlikely," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 48 |
I noted that Hassan's men had thrown blankets over the heads of the kaiila, to prevent them from seeing the storm, and keep rain from striking their faces, which phenomenon, frightening them, tends to make them unmanageable. |
10 |
| 11 | 49 |
"One must not, of course," said Hassan, "camp in a dried watercourse. |
10 |
| 11 | 52 |
"No," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 78 |
"Where, friend," asked Hassan, of another nomad, "is the steel tower?" "I have never heard of such," said he, warily. |
10 |
| 11 | 84 |
It is at this time that Hassan, the bandit, would make his camps. |
10 |
| 11 | 87 |
At these times, Hassan, cross-legged, would sometimes sit silently before his tent. |
10 |
| 11 | 95 |
How can there be such a thing?" "My thanks, Herder," said Hassan, and again led us on our quest. |
10 |
| 11 | 115 |
"Young warrior," asked Hassan, of a youth, no more than eight, "have you heard aught of a tower of steel?" His sister, standing behind him, laughed. |
10 |
| 11 | 138 |
"Is she expensive?" asked the boy of Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 139 |
"Yes," said Hassan, "young warrior. |
10 |
| 11 | 141 |
"Ah," said Hassan, understanding. |
10 |
| 11 | 144 |
He looked at Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 148 |
"Is she a good slave?" asked the boy of Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 149 |
"She is a stupid, miserable girl," said Hassan, "who must be often beaten". |
10 |
| 11 | 162 |
"Have you seen, or heard, aught, young warrior," asked Hassan, "of a tower of steel?" The boy looked at him and laughed. |
10 |
| 11 | 164 |
Hassan nodded his head, graciously. |
10 |
| 11 | 173 |
"The oasis of the Battle of Red Rock," said Hassan to me, "is one of the few outpost oases maintained by the Aretai. |
10 |
| 11 | 176 |
"No," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 180 |
"Can you not see it?" I asked Hassan, the others. |
10 |
| 11 | 182 |
"We, too, see it," said Hassan, "but it is not there". |
10 |
| 11 | 214 |
"It is not there," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 215 |
"Does the oasis of the Battle of Red Rock have, at its northeast rim, a kasbah, with four towers?" "Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 217 |
"No," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 223 |
"True," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 225 |
"No," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 231 |
"Pennons," said Hassan, "of the Tashid and Aretai". |
10 |
| 11 | 236 |
"I shall speak clearly," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 240 |
"Ride ahead," suggested Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 248 |
"It is an interesting phenomenon, is it not?" asked Hassan, when he, and the others, had joined me. |
10 |
| 11 | 251 |
"Precisely," said Hassan, "with layers of air the glass. |
10 |
| 11 | 255 |
"Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 269 |
"In the Tahari," said Hassan, "it is well to be of the Tahari, if one would live". |
10 |
| 11 | 271 |
"I will help you," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 280 |
"Do you fear to enter the oasis of a vassal tribe of the Aretai?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 282 |
"I think, too, there is little danger," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 286 |
The girl, Alyena, rode next to the last in our line, in the position of least status; she was followed by one of Hassan's men, the guard; such a guard is commonly posted; he, from time to time, watches the trail behind the caravan and, of course, prevents the escape of slave girls. |
10 |
| 11 | 300 |
A child ran beside the stirrup of Hassan, playing. |
10 |
| 11 | 302 |
"They were stolen by raiders," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 304 |
"We shall seek an inn," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 336 |
"We shall stop here," said Hassan, reining in before an inn. |
10 |
| 11 | 340 |
Two of Hassan's men went with them, to see that the animals were well cared for. |
10 |
| 11 | 341 |
One of Hassan's men helped Alyena to dismount. |
10 |
| 11 | 354 |
She then, as satisfied as she could be without a mirror, smiled at Hassan and went to him, with small measured steps, as Aya had taught her, the sort of steps which might be regulated by the length of an affixed walking chain. |
10 |
| 11 | 356 |
She then smiled again at Hassan, and knelt beside him, gracefully, in slave deference, her head down, at his left thigh. |
10 |
| 11 | 360 |
It was pleasant to see her kneeling there beside Hassan, her head down, in slave deference. |
10 |
| 11 | 377 |
Her master was Hassan, the bandit. |
10 |
| 11 | 388 |
Hassan then, carrying his saddle and other belongings, went into the inn. |
10 |
| 11 | 395 |
Those of Hassan's men who carried water, too, emptied the water into the cistern. |
10 |
| 11 | 404 |
She rose to her feet and went to kneel beside Hassan, who was sitting at a bench before a table. |
10 |
| 11 | 407 |
"Have you heard aught of a tower of steel?" Hassan was asking the master of the inn. |
10 |
| 11 | 409 |
This was irritating to Hassan, and did not much please me either, for the oasis of the Battle of Red Rock was the last of the major oases of the Tahari for more than two thousand pasangs eastward; it lay, in effect, on the borders of the dreaded dune country; there are oases in the dune country but ... |
10 |
| 11 | 413 |
I had little doubt, nor did Hassan, that it was within the dune country that lay the steel tower, if there was indeed such an unusual edifice. |
10 |
| 11 | 431 |
"We shall leave in the morning," said Hassan to me, stretching. |
10 |
| 11 | 443 |
"I am weary," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 447 |
Hassan looked about himself. |
10 |
| 11 | 448 |
"What is the hour?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 454 |
"Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 455 |
Then Hassan said, "Soldiers are returning". |
10 |
| 11 | 458 |
Hassan's fingers, on the table, had caught the subtle vibration. |
10 |
| 11 | 461 |
Hassan leaped to his feet, throwing over the table. |
10 |
| 11 | 465 |
I heard Hassan shouting upstairs. |
10 |
| 11 | 477 |
"Upstairs!" cried Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 480 |
Alyena, white faced, stood, her arm held in the grip of one of Hassan's men. |
10 |
| 11 | 481 |
"Follow me," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 492 |
Hassan looked at me, wildly, angrily. |
10 |
| 11 | 501 |
Below us, in the stable yard, holding the reins of kaiila, came Hassan's men. |
10 |
| 11 | 502 |
"Guard the trap door," said Hassan to one of his men. |
10 |
| 11 | 503 |
Almost at that moment the trap door thrust up and a man's face appeared; Hassan's man thrust his scimitar through the jaw and wrenched it free, loose with blood and teeth and kicked shut the door. |
10 |
| 11 | 509 |
He fell back, thrust from the gate by a lance in the hands of one of Hassan's men. |
10 |
| 11 | 512 |
Hassan's men threw their burnooses over the heads of the animals. |
10 |
| 11 | 516 |
Hassan and I met them, fiercely, forcing them back over the edge, into the crowded, dark, screaming throng below. |
10 |
| 11 | 521 |
"Their garments, their saddles," said Hassan, "are Kavar!" From the roof we could see men and women, and children, running through the palm groves and gardens. |
10 |
| 11 | 526 |
"Tarna!" Hassan went to the edge of the wall looking down into the now-blazing stable yard. |
10 |
| 11 | 527 |
"Follow them!" cried Hassan, indicating his two men below, to the rest of his men, even to him who guarded the trap door. |
10 |
| 11 | 531 |
Hassan tore off his own burnoose and, putting it under Alyena's arms, lowered her from the roof to the arms of one of his men, mounted on his kaiila. |
10 |
| 11 | 532 |
Alyena looked upward at Hassan, wildly. |
10 |
| 11 | 538 |
"On my signal," said Hassan, "have them throw open the gate to the stable yard, and ride!" I went to the edge of the roof overlooking the burning yard. |
10 |
| 11 | 542 |
"I relay the signal of Hassan," said I. |
10 |
| 11 | 545 |
"What of you," he cried, "and Hassan!" "Upon the signal," I said, "take flight". |
10 |
| 11 | 548 |
"Hassan!" screamed Alyena. |
10 |
| 11 | 549 |
"Hassan!" One must watch, to see when the escape might best emerge from the yard, another must convey the signal. |
10 |
| 11 | 550 |
"Hassan!" screamed Alyena, from below. |
10 |
| 11 | 555 |
If Hassan survived, he would, I suspected, well beat her for this lapse. |
10 |
| 11 | 557 |
Hassan, however, was not so lenient; he had, as yet, not permitted his pretty Alyena this liberty. |
10 |
| 11 | 567 |
"There are two kaiila remaining, saddled," I called to Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 592 |
"Get your kaiila, escape!" said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 610 |
Hassan and I leaped from the roof, which was now partly aflame, to the stable yard. |
10 |
| 11 | 637 |
"There are others," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 642 |
"Tal," said Hassan, greeting them. |
10 |
| 11 | 652 |
Hassan kissed one on the back of the neck. |
10 |
| 11 | 656 |
"Run then to the desert," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 659 |
"Run!" said Hassan, smacking her smartly with the flat of his blade. |
10 |
| 11 | 662 |
"They are pretty," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 666 |
"Yet," said Hassan, "this seems scarcely a time propitious for the braceleting of wenches". |
10 |
| 11 | 668 |
"Besides," said Hassan, "they were young. |
10 |
| 11 | 676 |
"Here," said Hassan, kneeling beside one of the fallen men. |
10 |
| 11 | 678 |
Hassan thrust up the left sleeve. |
10 |
| 11 | 681 |
"No," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 11 | 687 |
Hassan smiled. |
10 |
| 11 | 690 |
"This," said Hassan, smiling, "is the Kavar scimitar". |
10 |
| 11 | 693 |
"Of course," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 1 |
What Occurred in Tarna's Kasbah; Hassan and I Decide to Take Our Leave From that Place I rolled about, on my back, splashing in the water. |
10 |
| 12 | 14 |
Hassan, in a brief, white-silk garment, sat cross-legged nearby. |
10 |
| 12 | 27 |
Two males, too, had been taken, myself and Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 29 |
Hassan, similarly secured, trudged at the stirrup of one of her lieutenants. |
10 |
| 12 | 31 |
There Hassan and I, locked in slave hoods, and chained, were thrown into one of the wagons, with other loot. |
10 |
| 12 | 36 |
Then, again, Hassan and I had been chained at stirrups. |
10 |
| 12 | 38 |
"Where are we?" I had asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 40 |
"I do not know," had said Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 107 |
There were several of Tarna's males sitting about, in silken tunics, some with jewelry, curious about Hassan and myself. |
10 |
| 12 | 112 |
On the other hand, Hassan and myself had a certain advantage, I supposed, in freshness and novelty. |
10 |
| 12 | 139 |
"Let us assume she is," proposed Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 165 |
She glared at Hassan, and myself. |
10 |
| 12 | 166 |
"You two, too, will be so designated!" Then she cried, "Go! Go to your alcoves, Slaves! Go!" The men, some of them frightened, with the exception of Hassan who sat, puzzled, by the side of the bath, scurried to their tiny alcoves. |
10 |
| 12 | 243 |
I glanced to Hassan, and to the other girl. |
10 |
| 12 | 249 |
Then I turned to Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 260 |
I saw Hassan measuring the distance between the two girls. |
10 |
| 12 | 584 |
At the outer door of the seraglio I demanded entrance, to fetch the slave, Hassan, to the quarters of Tarna. |
10 |
| 12 | 593 |
"Greetings," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 605 |
"Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 606 |
"What of this one?" I asked Hassan, indicating Lana. |
10 |
| 12 | 607 |
"I tested her," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 613 |
He broke into a run, but I managed to trip him, and Hassan leaped upon him and carried him, squirming, to the bath. |
10 |
| 12 | 617 |
Hassan took the fellow and threw him on his belly by the bath and held his head under water, for about an Ehn. |
10 |
| 12 | 622 |
Hassan threw him to two of the other males. |
10 |
| 12 | 623 |
"If he attempts to give the alarm," said Hassan, "drown him". |
10 |
| 12 | 627 |
"You may blame his drowning on us, of course," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 644 |
"I left her for you," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 12 | 648 |
By the ankles I pulled her as far from the pillar as the bonds on her wrists, fashioned by Hassan from strips from her white, removed clothing, would permit. |
10 |
| 12 | 657 |
"You have ruined her, I judge," said Hassan, "as an effective mistress of the seraglio". |
10 |
| 12 | 673 |
I noted that Hassan, following my example, had now indicated the evidence of his pleasure, and his satisfaction with her slave performance, on the flesh of the other girl. |
10 |
| 12 | 679 |
"He would be a good fellow, indeed," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 22 |
Scarcely had Hassan and I, clad in the garments of guards, astride kaiila taken from the stables of Tarna's kasbah, emerged from the fortress's gate than, on the path to Red Rock, clouds of riders had swept before us. |
10 |
| 13 | 28 |
"No," had said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 41 |
Hassan looked at me. |
10 |
| 13 | 43 |
"It is possible," admitted Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 55 |
"It can be only," said Hassan, "the kasbah of the Guard of the Dunes". |
10 |
| 13 | 57 |
"That," agreed Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 80 |
Hassan and I knelt. |
10 |
| 13 | 82 |
Hassan and I pressed our lips to the sand before the great, open portal. |
10 |
| 13 | 84 |
Hassan and I rose to our feet. |
10 |
| 13 | 91 |
"What is the name of the Salt Ubar?" I asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 92 |
"I thought everyone knew his name," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 94 |
"What is his name?" "Abdul," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 96 |
I, and Hassan, entered the kasbah of the Guard of the Dunes, the Salt Ubar, him whose name was Abdul. |
10 |
| 13 | 108 |
The feet of myself, and those of Hassan, too, were washed, and dried. |
10 |
| 13 | 128 |
Though Hassan and I were stripped, she was more naked than we, for she wore Gorean slave silk. |
10 |
| 13 | 131 |
On ropes, hands bound behind our back, Hassan and I entered the lofty chamber. |
10 |
| 13 | 135 |
Hassan and I knelt. |
10 |
| 13 | 160 |
"We fell well into your trap," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 161 |
The man shrugged, a Tahari shrug, tiny, subtle, like a swift smile, acknowledging the compliment of Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 162 |
"It is not clear to me," said Hassan, "why a simple date merchant, like my friend, Hakim of Tor, and I, a lowly bandit, would be of interest to one so august as yourself". |
10 |
| 13 | 163 |
The man regarded Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 165 |
"I am a bandit," said Hassan, in cheerful explanation. |
10 |
| 13 | 169 |
"Then I have little with which to bargain," admitted Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 171 |
"Perhaps it was another bandit," suggested Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 175 |
"Perhaps that was unwise on my part," volunteered Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 180 |
"I did not mean to be uncivil," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 182 |
"My business must often be conducted with dispatch," admitted Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 185 |
"I hope that you will forgive me," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 189 |
"I was not optimistic," admitted Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 191 |
"Doubtless each of us has our own business," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 196 |
"Of course not," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 202 |
I did not care greatly for Hassan's description. |
10 |
| 13 | 215 |
Four of the girls, with a jangle of slave bells, fled to Hassan and myself. |
10 |
| 13 | 242 |
Suddenly I realized that this was the same girl who had been one of the pair captured by Hassan in the desert, shortly before I had first made his acquaintance. |
10 |
| 13 | 244 |
It was difficult now to see in this lascivious, delicious slave, who seemed born to the collar, the proud free woman whom Hassan had earlier captured, and who had been later sold at the Bakah oasis of Two Scimitars. |
10 |
| 13 | 253 |
Hassan's eyes were hard. |
10 |
| 13 | 255 |
"Do you remember this one?" asked the veiled man, of Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 256 |
"Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 262 |
Alyena trembled under the eyes of Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 272 |
"She was crying the name 'Hassan'". |
10 |
| 13 | 273 |
I could see that this did not please Hassan at all. |
10 |
| 13 | 282 |
"I love you!" She had risked her life to return to Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 291 |
Alyena looked upon Hassan, agonized. |
10 |
| 13 | 302 |
"Dance, Slave," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 326 |
"I do not fear them," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 458 |
Hassan began to struggle. |
10 |
| 13 | 467 |
Hassan, too, seemed shocked. |
10 |
| 13 | 471 |
"What are you doing with us?" demanded Hassan. |
10 |
| 13 | 480 |
"I give Hassan a woman," said he, "for his audacity. |
10 |
| 13 | 485 |
"Chain Riza," said he to one of the guards, selecting the women who would serve us, by his will, "beside Hassan, this bandit, and Tafa by the side of this man, he of the Warriors, he whose name is Tarl Cabot". |
10 |
| 14 | 33 |
She had not, however, been able to hold Hassan and me. |
10 |
| 14 | 164 |
Hassan stood, some four men from me, similarly manacled. |
10 |
| 14 | 208 |
Ibn Saran had turned his kaiila toward Hassan. |
10 |
| 14 | 211 |
Hassan did not speak. |
10 |
| 14 | 212 |
It had puzzled me that Ibn Saran had spoken thusly to Hassan, a bandit. |
10 |
| 14 | 239 |
"Many men will die," cried Hassan, "both Kavars and Aretai, and of the vassal tribes! It must be stopped! They must be warned!" "It is necessary," said Ibn Saran to him. |
10 |
| 14 | 241 |
A slave hood was pulled over the head of Hassan. |
10 |
| 14 | 553 |
It was Hassan! "You live!" I cried. |
10 |
| 14 | 657 |
Hassan and I were freed. |
10 |
| 14 | 661 |
"He is dead," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 14 | 662 |
Together, Hassan and I rose to our feet. |
10 |
| 14 | 677 |
Hassan and I had not found the steel tower. |
10 |
| 14 | 680 |
Then I followed Hassan, who had trudged on ahead, wading in the salt, following him toward Klima. |
10 |
| 15 | 59 |
When we had approached Klima Hassan had said to me. |
10 |
| 15 | 122 |
"We may, however," asked Hassan, "leave Klima when we wish?" T'Zshal regarded him. |
10 |
| 15 | 123 |
Clearly he was wondering if Hassan were insane. |
10 |
| 15 | 127 |
"Very well," said Hassan, noting the point. |
10 |
| 15 | 137 |
"Is it your intention," inquired T'Zshal of Hassan, "to purloin several bags, fill them, battling guards, and walk your way out of Klima?" Even, of course, if one could obtain several such bags, and fill them with water, it did not seem likely that one could carry enough water to find one's way afoo... |
10 |
| 15 | 138 |
Hassan shrugged. |
10 |
| 15 | 141 |
"I have made the march to Klima," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 15 | 148 |
"Even the salt master?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 15 | 154 |
"And we?" said Hassan. |
10 |
| 15 | 157 |
"Did you come hooded to Klima?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 15 | 160 |
Hassan had doubtless had in mind the forcing of a guard, or kennel master, perhaps T'Zshal himself, to guide him from Klima, could he obtain water. |
10 |
| 15 | 172 |
"There is a way," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 15 | 177 |
"I choose to stay, for the time," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 15 | 179 |
Hassan, too, bowed his head, in Taharic courtesy acknowledging the compliment. |
10 |
| 16 | 1 |
Hassan and I Agree to Accompany T'zshal I held the line coiled, in my left hand, it tied to the handle on the metal, perforated cone, swinging in my right. |
10 |
| 16 | 232 |
"Hassan!" I cried. |
10 |
| 16 | 251 |
I and Hassan had survived, and the steersman, and the man I had saved. |
10 |
| 16 | 273 |
Hassan and I looked at one another. |
10 |
| 16 | 277 |
"And I, too," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 17 | 19 |
Beside he, only Hassan, on the other side, and myself, of yesterday's crew, accompanied T'Zshal. |
10 |
| 17 | 284 |
The Old One was still alive when I was drawn away from it, pulled by Hassan and another man to the surface of the raft. |
10 |
| 17 | 286 |
Hassan pried it from my fingers with his hands. |
10 |
| 17 | 303 |
"You cannot save him," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 17 | 314 |
"Help me," said I, "Hassan". |
10 |
| 17 | 315 |
"Be merciful," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 17 | 320 |
"I will help you," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 17 | 321 |
Using the dagger as an awl, punching through the flesh, and the long lacing from the lance head, while Hassan held together the edges of the ripped furrows, I crudely sewed together the rent, bloodied meat before me. |
10 |
| 17 | 331 |
"I myself," said Hassan, "would not admit him to the leather workers". |
10 |
| 18 | 5 |
Near me stood Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 19 |
"I will accompany him," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 23 |
"The desert is my mother, and my father," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 25 |
"And yet you would leave Klima afoot?" "Furnish me kaiila," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 31 |
"I, too," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 37 |
"Sleen!" cried Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 58 |
"Hassan," I said. |
10 |
| 18 | 68 |
"Hassan," I said. |
10 |
| 18 | 83 |
"By noon tomorrow, we shall be dead," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 86 |
Hassan's face was turned toward me. |
10 |
| 18 | 91 |
"Save yourself," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 95 |
"Leave," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 125 |
Then he gave Hassan and me to drink from the water he carried. |
10 |
| 18 | 130 |
"What of him?" asked T'Zshal, indicating Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 131 |
"I can walk," said Hassan, straightening himself. |
10 |
| 18 | 145 |
Hassan and I turned and, with the water, and our supplies, into the night desert, took our way. |
10 |
| 18 | 148 |
I held it to my face, and to the face of Hassan. |
10 |
| 18 | 151 |
"No," smiled Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 1 |
The Wind Blows From the East; We Encounter a Kur I heard Hassan cry out. |
10 |
| 19 | 10 |
"It is madness," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 24 |
"I have heard of them," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 26 |
"No such beast could live in the desert," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 28 |
"Strange," said Hassan, "that I should imagine a Kur here in the Tahari". |
10 |
| 19 | 33 |
"Let us continue our trek," said Hassan, "before we both go mad". |
10 |
| 19 | 34 |
Shouldering again the water, I followed Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 37 |
Hassan saw five birds overhead in flight. |
10 |
| 19 | 46 |
Hassan began to kiss rhythmically at the back of his hand, his head down, but moving so as to see the birds. |
10 |
| 19 | 50 |
Hassan broke the bird's neck between his fingers and began to pull out the feathers. |
10 |
| 19 | 53 |
"Stop," I said to Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 62 |
Hassan stood nearby. |
10 |
| 19 | 72 |
"Come," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 79 |
Hassan scanned the dunes. |
10 |
| 19 | 84 |
* * * * The march of Hassan had as its object not Red Rock, northwest of Klima, but Four Palms, a Kavar outpost known to him, which lay far to the south of Red Rock. |
10 |
| 19 | 93 |
Hassan had gambled wisely; whether or not he had also gambled well would remain to be seen. |
10 |
| 19 | 94 |
I followed Hassan, he orienting himself by the sun and the flights of certain birds, migrating. |
10 |
| 19 | 99 |
A consequence of Hassan's plan was that we were actually moving, generally, south and west of Klima, in short, for a time, deeper into the most desolate, untraveled portions of the dune country, far even from the salt routes. |
10 |
| 19 | 101 |
* * * * "We have water," I said to Hassan, "for only four more days". |
10 |
| 19 | 107 |
"I do not know," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 111 |
"Have you not noticed the wind?" said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 114 |
"From what direction does it come?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 116 |
"It is spring," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 120 |
"Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 123 |
An Ahn earlier Hassan had said, "It is now time to dig the shelter trench". |
10 |
| 19 | 128 |
Hassan and I stood at the edge of the ditch, looking eastward. |
10 |
| 19 | 129 |
"Yes," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 133 |
"We had come so far," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 135 |
"I will sleep," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 137 |
I watched, while Hassan slept. |
10 |
| 19 | 146 |
Toward night Hassan and I awoke. |
10 |
| 19 | 163 |
"Hassan," I cried. |
10 |
| 19 | 172 |
"Run!" cried Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 178 |
"The water," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 19 | 181 |
Hassan took them and, when I was clear of the ditch, we backed away from the beast, watching it. |
10 |
| 19 | 184 |
Hassan and I turned and, stumbling, carrying the water, fled into the desert. |
10 |
| 19 | 185 |
Once, briefly, I lost sight of Hassan, then again saw him, no more than a yard from me in the darkness, in the pelting, driven sand. |
10 |
| 20 | 1 |
The Kur Will Re-Enter the Dune Country; I Accompany Him "It is there," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 11 |
"There will be other such storms," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 21 |
"It is not dead," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 23 |
"We, too, are weak," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 40 |
What business had it in the Tahari? "It will die soon," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 44 |
"Do not approach it!" warned Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 49 |
"Kill it," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 52 |
"Desist in this madness!" cried Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 62 |
Hassan did not speak. |
10 |
| 20 | 67 |
Hassan stood back. |
10 |
| 20 | 72 |
"You are insane," whispered Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 76 |
"So it was mad from the desert, the storm," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 107 |
"I had it freed from a dungeon in Port Kar," I told Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 121 |
I know him, Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 123 |
I think, Hassan, strange though it may seem, that we hold a cause in common". |
10 |
| 20 | 124 |
"A man and a Kur!" protested Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 126 |
I turned to Hassan. |
10 |
| 20 | 127 |
"I wish you well, Hassan," I said. |
10 |
| 20 | 134 |
"It is a hard choice you impose upon me," said Hassan, "to choose between my brother and my tribe". |
10 |
| 20 | 139 |
Hassan looked at the Kur. |
10 |
| 20 | 147 |
Hassan turned away. |
10 |
| 23 | 296 |
"Excellent," said I, "Hassan". |
10 |
| 24 | 8 |
I came once within one hundred and fifty yards of Ibn Saran; Hassan, or Haroun, high Pasha of the Kavars, came within twenty yards of him, fighting like a wild animal, but was turned back at last by a wall of bucklers, a hedge of lances. |
10 |
| 24 | 14 |
"He will take refuge in his kasbah," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 24 | 23 |
"We must take the kasbah," said Hassan. |

I saw the white burnoose of Hassan, swelling behind him, in their lead. |
10 |
| 25 | 7 |
Haroun, or Hassan, as I continued to think of him, with his boot, spurned the bound prisoner. |
10 |
| 25 | 20 |
"Let us assume, Pasha," said I to Hassan, "that Ibn Saran entered this kasbah". |
10 |
| 25 | 51 |
"You have the audacity of Hassan the bandit, to whom you bear a striking resemblance". |
10 |
| 25 | 56 |
Hassan then turned and led the way into the tunnel. |
10 |
| 25 | 58 |
* * * * It was on the height of the highest tower of the kasbah of Tarna that Hassan, I close behind him, cornered Ibn Saran. |
10 |
| 25 | 61 |
"He is mine," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 69 |
"That was years ago," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 77 |
Hassan sheathed his sword. |
10 |
| 25 | 96 |
Hassan shook himself. |
10 |
| 25 | 106 |
Hassan and I went down to the yard of the kasbah. |
10 |
| 25 | 107 |
Startled was I to discover in the courtyard, mounted in the high saddle of the kaiila, the leader of Hassan's mystery lancers, who had invested the kasbah of Tarna. |
10 |
| 25 | 111 |
"I sent," said Hassan, Haroun, high Pasha of Kavars, "a thousand kaiila, a thousand lances, supplies, to Klima. |
10 |
| 25 | 116 |
I feared that Hassan had made a terrible mistake. |
10 |
| 25 | 120 |
Hassan held his blade to the throat of Hamid. |
10 |
| 25 | 128 |
"I was there," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 131 |
Hassan smiled. |
10 |
| 25 | 136 |
"Surely you did not think there could be two such handsome, dashing fellows?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 138 |
"Do not be too broadcast with my additional identity," requested Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 274 |
"What have we here?" asked Hassan, entering the room. |
10 |
| 25 | 276 |
He no longer wore the white of the high Pasha of the Kavars but simpler garments, those which might have befitted Hassan, the outlaw of the Tahari. |
10 |
| 25 | 278 |
She looked at Hassan; she was incredibly beautiful; her cheeks were stained with tears. |
10 |
| 25 | 284 |
"The capture is yours," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 290 |
"Doubtless," said Hassan, "Haroun, high Pasha of the Kavars, and Suleiman, high Pasha of the Aretai, will pay a high reward to the man who brings Tarna before them". |
10 |
| 25 | 292 |
"I have heard them crying out for her," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 295 |
Hassan looked down upon the stripped, tethered beauty. |
10 |
| 25 | 299 |
"The punishment for breaking a well," said Hassan, "is not light". |
10 |
| 25 | 314 |
"Forget it," agreed Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 319 |
"Better torture and impalement on the walls of the kasbah at Nine Wells," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 323 |
"Oh, what?" "On the lower levels," said Hassan, "I understand that slave girls are kept". |
10 |
| 25 | 327 |
"I might be slipped among them!" "It is a chance," admitted Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 329 |
"That can be arranged," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 334 |
"I knew you would not approve," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 341 |
"Please! Please!" "There will be much risk," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 347 |
"One thing," said Hassan, "prisoner rope is not appropriate. |
10 |
| 25 | 352 |
"Most female slaves," said Hassan, "walk very proudly. |
10 |
| 25 | 366 |
"Most," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 369 |
She was scandalous! And the girls, too, who served in the cafe! Shameful! Scandalous!" "Speak with care," said Hassan, "Girl, for someday you, too, may so dance and serve". |
10 |
| 25 | 371 |
"Did the girls seem proud?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 373 |
"But why should they have been proud?" "They were proud of their bodies, their feelings, their desirability," said Hassan, "and proud, too, of their masters, who had the will and power to put them in a collar and keep them there, because it pleased them to do so". |
10 |
| 25 | 375 |
"Too," said Hassan, "undeniable females, secure in their sexuality, it was difficult not for them to be proud. |
10 |
| 25 | 377 |
"But why, why," wept Tarna, "should they be proud?" Hassan shrugged. |
10 |
| 25 | 380 |
Hassan laughed. |
10 |
| 25 | 385 |
"There is a difference," laughed Hassan, "between the pride of a free woman and the pride of the slave girl. |
10 |
| 25 | 390 |
"You are no longer competing with men," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 395 |
"It is a start," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 399 |
"She cannot yet walk like, or truly seem, a slave girl," said Hassan, "for she is not yet a slave girl, but if little attention is paid, we may have a chance". |
10 |
| 25 | 403 |
Hassan moaned. |
10 |
| 25 | 410 |
Hassan grinned. |
10 |
| 25 | 425 |
"Is she not much too clean?" asked Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 430 |
When she stood again before us, Hassan took soot from one of the tharlarion-oil lamps and rubbed it, here and there, on her body. |
10 |
| 25 | 432 |
"Of great danger to us now," said Hassan, "is her lack of a brand". |
10 |
| 25 | 448 |
"It might be better," said Hassan, studying the beauty, "if she were completely stripped". |
10 |
| 25 | 450 |
"You are right," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 453 |
"Excellent," said Hassan. |
10 |
| 25 | 460 |
She did not much approve either when Hassan cleaned his hands on the cloth about her hips. |
10 |
| 25 | 471 |
Hassan threw back the heavy door. |
