Myself. I am going to Sakkatou.
The Ghâtee. What for?
Myself. To see the Sultan, who is my friend.
The Ghâtee. How do you know him?
Myself. The English have known him for years past.
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?
