ABSTRACT

A S C H O L A R of the canon-law had gathered together some rags and twisted them in his turban, so that it should become huge and look mighty fine when he entered the congregation in the Hatim, rags he had trimmed from various garments and outwardly enhanced with them his turban. Outwardly his turban was like a robe of Paradise; inwardly it was shameful and foul as a hypocrite. Bits of dervish’s cassock and cotton and fur lay buried in the depths of the turban.
