All seven have capital appetites, and drink tea as soon as the samovar boils, and pounce like wolves on their dinner. They eat a solid breakfast and an equally abundant supper, and at twelve o'clock one of them goes about among the others distributing pieces of bread and fetches out a jug of water.

In the evening Mirza reads aloud to the others a book of religious legends. And gathered round the fire, his

h   hearers lie and sit in comfortable positions, smoke their

~~   pipes, and send the kalian round. Its bubbling sound is

heard all the evening, even when every other noise is

I+   hushed in the camp. They find themselves in clover, and

The weather was still heavy and gloomy. A fine sprinkle of snow crystals fell from the dense fog, and the

a'   sky was so overcast that there was not the slightest gleam

i   of moonshine. Light from the camel herd's fire fell over

iz   the red and white hillocks behind the camp; to the east the

4   desert vanished in impenetrable darkness, and silently and

a   solemnly night returned to the earth.
