ABSTRACT
Abd-el-Kerim had left us for a moment to attend to some Turkish buyers; now he came back and told me that the Abyssinians were being dressed, and that I should see them in a moment. "They live in my harem," he said, "and are treated exactly as members of my own household. My wives take their meals with them. Meanwhile, if you would care to see some very young ones, they shall be brought."
