This divan was occupied by ten or a dozen men of mixed nationalities--Arabs, Greeks, lascars, and others. They smoked cigarettes for the most part and sipped Mokha from little cups. A girl was performing a wriggling dance upon the square carpet occupying the centre of the floor, accompanied by a Nubian boy who twanged upon a guitar, and by most of the assembled company, who clapped their hands to the music or droned a low, tuneless dirge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
