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
It it is pleasant to know that they are contented.
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.
