Reseña del editor

Mosques of Kalaun andE n-N asir, and I was idly noting the negligible effect of the adcm upon the occupants of the neighboring shops coppersmiths for the most part when suddenly my errant attention bejC ame arrested. A mendicant of miwholesome aspect crouched in the shadow of the narrow gateway at the entrance to theS flk es-S aigh, or gold and silver bazaar, having his one serviceable eye fixed in a malevolent stare upon something or someone immediately behind me. It is part and parcel of my difficult profession to subdue all impulses and to think before acting. I sipped my coffee and selected a fresh cigarette from the silver box upon the rug beside me.
