CONTENTS BOOK I. PRELUDE BOOK II. THE VOICE OF PRAYER BOOK III. THE GARDEN BOOK IV. THE JOURNEY BOOK V. THE REVELATION BOOK VI. THE JOURNEY BACKTHE GARDEN OF ALLAHBOOK I. PRELUDECHAPTER IThe fatigue caused by a rough sea journey, and, perhaps, theconsciousness that she would have to be dressed before dawn to catch thetrain for Beni-Mora, prevented Domini Enfilden from sleeping. There wasdeep silence in the Hotel de la Mer at Robertville. The French officerswho took their pension there had long since ascended the hill of Addounato the barracks. The cafes had closed their doors to the drinkers anddomino players. The lounging Arab boys had deserted the sandy Place dela Marine. In their small and dusky bazaars the Israelites had reckonedup the takings of the day, and curled themselves up in gaudy quiltson their low divans to rest. Only two or three _gendarmes_ were stillabout, and a few French and Spaniards at the Port, where, moored againstthe wharf, lay the steamer _Le General Bertrand_, in which Domini hadarrived that evening from Marseilles.In the hotel the fair and plump Italian waiter, who had drifted to NorthAfrica from Pisa, had swept up the crumbs from the two long tablesin the _salle-a-manger_, smoked a thin, dark cigar over a copy of the_Depeche Algerienne_, put the paper down, scratched his blonde head, onwhich the hair stood up in bristles, stared for a while at nothing inthe firm manner of weary men who are at the same time thoughtless anddepressed, and thrown himself on his narrow bed in the dusty corner ofthe little room on the stairs near the front door. Madame, the landlady,had laid aside her front and said her prayer to the Virgin. Monsieur,the landlord, had muttered his last curse against the Jews and drunkhis last glass of rum. They snored like honest people recruiting theirstrength for the morrow. In number two Suzanne Charpot, Domini's maid,was dreaming of the Rue de Rivoli.
