Our Konag Bey stood ready to receive nie, and leading my horse opposite to the guest-house, assisted me to alight. He then ushered me into the house, and with his own hands relieved me of my arms, and hung them against the wall. A silken couch had been spread for me in a corner of the room, on one side of the hearth; at the head of this was a pile of cushions: with the exception of these, and a mat and cushion laid down for the Hadji, there was no other furniture in the room; but the walls, gleaming with the weapons of the guests, presented anything but a naked appear THE GUEST-HOUSE. 43 ancc.
