_The Ghâtee._ Ah!

_Myself._ Yes.

_The Ghâtee._ Have you any dollars--large dollars? (making a large
circle with his thumb and forefinger.)

_Myself._ No: I don't carry money to Soudan, which is of no use to me.
There I shall have wadâ.

_Ghâtee._ Eh! Eh! But cannot you give me a turban?

_Myself._ No, I am not a merchant, I don't bring such things; go to the
Arab merchants and buy.

_Ghâtee._ Um! Um!

_Myself._ Do you know Mohammed Kafa in Ghât?

_Ghâtee._ Oh, yes!

_Myself._ He is my friend.

_Ghâtee._ Allah!

_Myself._ Yes; he sent me a fine dinner twice whilst I was in Ghât.

_Ghâtee._ Allah! Allah!

_Myself._ Do you know Haj Ibrahim? He is my great friend.
