Excerpt from Scinde; Or, the Unhappy Valley, Vol. 1 of 2
But you look in vain towards me, your guide. I will not answer a single question. One of these days, Mr. Bull, when you are quite recovered from the fatigue and annoyances of this Oriental trip, when Mrs. Bull once more allows you a few weeks leave of absence, when the boys and girls are all in rude health, and at work, as good children should be, and when there is no squabble, clerical, laical, on public grounds or on private grounds, in your happy home, - no murders in the neighbourhood to engross your attention and your spare time - then, sir, may be I shall offer my services as courier to you down the eastern coast of the Erythraean Sea up to Semaa in Yemen, the capital of that land of happy name.
