country covered with trees and houses. The
road also was lined with trees and houses,
even before we reached the actual town. The
number of trees was indeed quite noticeable,
and I remarked some houses which were
actually built on to the trees.
We drove into an inn yard, but found there
was no room ; and were told that a batch of
soldiers was passing through, so all the inns
had closed their doors. The gallant defenders
of their country are not held in much esteem
by their fellow countrymen. A little diplomacy
was therefore necessary. After waiting for half
an hour in the cart, we managed to induce the
landlord to arrange for a room for me.
Two Afghans, who had lived here for twenty
years, visited me. Afghans, at any rate out of
their own country, are always worth talking to.
In comparison with the docile, domestic Turkis
they are much more "men of the world," and
I was always interested in having a conversa-
tion with them. These two Afghans told me
that they had been in Turkestan in the time
of Yakub Beg, the native ruler who had been
turned out by the Chinese ten years previously.
