best for us both, and he refused my request for my own sake as well as
yours."

"Yes; he is the very kindest and best of fathers," said Grace; "he never
refuses any one of his children anything he can give them when he thinks
it good for them."

"But now I must stop talking and go to sleep as quickly as possible, as he
bade me when he brought me down here."

Both she and Lucilla were asleep in a few minutes and awoke the next
morning feeling greatly refreshed and rested.

"Shall we visit the Turkish village to-day?" asked Violet at the breakfast
table.

"I say aye to that," said Walter. "I want to see it and make some
purchases there. I've heard that there is a street there with booths along
on the side and a bazaar where one can buy various kinds of Turkish goods.
I want to get some if only for curiosities."

"And for a quarter you can go up in the restaurant and see the girls
dance," said his sister Rosie; "or into the theatre to look at a
representation of Mohammedan home life and adventure. So Mr. Will Croly
told me."

"Well, I don't know about going to the theatre," returned Walter, "but I'd
like to see their mosque with its minaret, at noon or sunset, when a real
muezzin comes out and calls upon the faithful to remember Allah and give
him glory."
