PRELIMINARY MATTER.
" the Vakeel himself, did, when his fortunes were
" low. Are you acquainted with Mihr Aly Khan
" Bender Reegee?" I said," Yes; I had known
" him long; and that, after I left his majesty,
" I designed to embark from Bender Reeg for Bus-
" sorah, as the Khan had promised to let me have
" one of his dows for that purpose." " By G—d
" (z. e. Wullah)," said the king, " he is a glorious
" suvar {i.e. horseman)! It would have done your
" heart good to have seen him, the other day, spit-
" ting, on his spear, those pigs of fellows, the Dush-
" tistanees! Is not Bender Reeg a better port than
" Bushire ?" I said, " I was afraid it was not."
" I am sorry, very sorry for it!" replied the king.
" I believe Mihr Aly has given me even to his last
" horse and last dinar; and I should be glad to
" have it in my power, one day or the other, to re-
" turn his generosity. The old cow at Bushire
" {i.e. Shaikh Nassir) was very near lalling, the
<( other day, into my hands: if he had, I should
" have done him no harm; nor could I have ior-
t( gotten the important service he once rendered
" me : but I should have said to him, f Ai ahmik*!
" cannot you distinguish between the son of a king
" and the son of a Bekaul f ?' I remember," conti
nued he, " when I was at Bushire after the murder
" of my father of blessed memory, Hajy Muham-
" med Aly Bihbehanee, your Mehmandar at Shi-
" raz, saying to me one day : ' Your highness must
" not expect too much from Shaikh Nassir: he is
" one of those animals whom God Almighty has fur-
" nished with very long ears and very little brains.'
* Jackass. f Alluding to Hajy Ibrahim's origin.
