- Through All Feringhistan The English Are Foremost And Best; For The Russians Are Drilled Swine, And The Germans Are Sleeping

Babes, and the Italians are the servants of songs, and the French are the sons of newspapers, and the Greeks

They are weavers of lies, but the English and the Osmanlees are brothers together in righteousness; for the Osmanlees believe in one only God, and cleave to the Koran, and destroy idols, so do the English worship one God, and abominate graven images, and tell the truth, and believe in a book, and though they drink the juice of the grape, yet to say that they worship their prophet as God, or to say that they are eaters of pork, these are lies - lies born of Greeks, and nursed by Jews!

Dragoman. - The Pasha compliments the English.

Traveller (rising). - Well, I've had enough of this. Tell the Pasha I am greatly obliged to him for his hospitality, and still more for his kindness in furnishing me with horses, and say that now I must be off.

Pasha (after hearing the dragoman, and standing up on his divan). {3} - Proud are the sires, and blessed are the dams of the horses that shall carry his Excellency to the end of his prosperous journey. May the saddle beneath him glide down to the gates of the happy city, like a boat swimming on the third river of Paradise. May he sleep the sleep of a child, when his friends are around him; and the while that his enemies are abroad, may his eyes flame red through the darkness - more red than the eyes of ten tigers! Farewell!
