Synopsis
Excerpt from The Veil: A Romance of Tunisia
He was an elderly man, browned with weather, lined about the eyes through the constant wrinkling induced by the sun.

Iie assisted the elder man to descend.
The road grows better in a short distance, said the Arab as he swung down from the box.
It was folly to attempt a camel track in this, the civilian grumbled again. By God, De Colombel, if I'd known we were in for this I'd have risked riding. The damage to one's spine wouldn't be half as serious as the injury done to one's temper.
