asleep at the other end of a passage. Sharp enough! It was not a pleasant idea. “Nonsense,” said I to myself, “its the green tea which makes me nervous! I daresay it is nothing, but I will lie awake a little.” In two minutes as it seemed, a loud knock at my door roused me, the sun was shining into my room, and A. call...

The word Harem has a very various signification. There is that of the poor, of the middle, and the highest classes; the harem of the provinces and the capital, that of the country and the town; the harem of the young, and that of the old; of the faithful Mussulman regretting the old style, and of the sceptical Mahometa...

I hardly met with any polygamist peasants, but such as had married in their early youth a much older woman possessing some wealth. With this exception, the home of the Moslem peasant resembles that of the Christian one, and, with regret do I say it, the former might often serve as a model to the latter. Should each hav...

"How much you must love your husband!" I said one day to an old woman, blind and paralytic, whom one of those stately old men of whom I have just spoken had brought to me in the hope that I could restore her to sight and motion. The old woman had come astride on a donkey, which her husband led by the bridle as he walke...

The principal object of the head of a Turkish family being to multiply this family as much as possible, everything in domestic life is subservient to this consideration. Should a wife remain childless two or three years, she is sent away, her husband replacing her by another. Nobody cares for the regrets or jealousy of...

After what has just been said about the manners of Oriental husbands towards their wives, it might be thought that brutality was the basis of their disposition. Nothing could be more false, for the Turk of every age and rank holds from nature, a politeness, delicacy, and gentleness of manner which other nations only ac...

- The aspect of the chief sultana appeared very strange to me. I could not help thinking of a retired rope-dancer when I looked at her. She had been very handsome, and her beauty had not yet completely disappeared, her skin presented a curious mixture of sun-burns and a series of layers of paint, beneath which the prim...

When we were alone she dropped the mask of timidity and conversed for some time with perfect freedom. She made many inquiries respecting our customs, which seemed to her as singular, as they were amusing; if I may judge by her bursts of laughter, which were renewed as frequently as the burden of a song, and were as muc...

'The 'Edinburgh Review,' in its April number, gives us the reasons. One is, that women are too ill instructed in arithmetic for the purpose; the other is, that ladies prefer the services of men. The first reason, however, is sufficient, and fully explains the second. Ladies would rather be waited on by a man who unders...
