294 THROUGH PERSIA ON A SIDE-SADDLE
The Persian sun shone out magnificently, and did not
seem to me to be the same sinister luminary that we
had dreaded at Ahwaz and Busreh, but a beneficent and
life-giving power. I rejoiced in its genial warmth, and
realised with satisfaction that I was once more in my
beloved land of the 'Lion and the Sun.'
It was delightful to be on horseback again when we
left Resht, even the sorry chapar steeds being a pleasure
to mount after our long imprisonment on board ship, and
our journey up to the capital was one charming picnic.
We reached the British Legation at the end of October
1896, to be treated again with a kindness that made us look
upon the capital of Persia as a second home, and which
probably had far more to do with my rose-coloured im
pressions of the East than I at all realised at the time.
