deceptiveтАФgrunted again. тАЬI do not bark often at a thousand piastres.тАЭ

тАЬYou call that a big bark, eh?тАЭ

тАЬBig enough to scare me somewhat,тАЭ admitted the driver.

He was so obviously not scared that Hamamah laughed with relief. тАЬMaybe I could get you a job that
would really be profitable,тАЭ he said.

The driver scratched one of his face scars. тАЬAre you just making a camel noise?тАЭ

тАЬLa!тАЭ
said Hamamah violently. тАЬIt is truth.тАЭ
тАЬProfitable work?тАЭ

тАЬNa'am, aiwah.
Very profitable.тАЭ
тАЬI might rattle it in my head for a while.тАЭ
тАЬThis job is right now.тАЭ

The driver considered. тАЬAll right, what is it?тАЭ

Hamamah grinned. тАЬTake us to the red house at the junction of the Street of Shrews and the new
boulevard.тАЭ

The driver nodded. He headed in that direction, taking a somewhat roundabout route which put him past
a certain street corner. He paid no attention to the corner in passing, but an old touring car with curtains
was waiting there.

The touring car pulled out and followed them.

The driver had a grin of his own.



Chapter II
THE house looked in general pretty much like most of Cairo's houses on the outside, which meant that it
was picturesque to some extent, but nothing to make an architect happy. The color of the house was the
color of a soiled white rat, the only red being on doors, shutters and window-bars.

The driver, stopping in front of the place, said, тАЬHere is your buzzard's roost.тАЭ

The other car, the touring with the curtains that had been following them, went on past. The man driving it
was tanned and had one large earring. His hat was big enough to make it hard to tell much about his face.

Hamamah got out. тАЬCome on inside.тАЭ

The driver laughed. тАЬAnd give you a chance to knife me and get back the thousand piastres?тАЭ

тАЬSo you're an old she-camel, afraid of a dog's breath.тАЭ
