usual among Europeans; then
when he passed the front of the church and got close view of him, he
saw that it was Asad son of Costantin. In a flash he remembered things
he had forgotten, recalled a standpoint that had once seemed all
desirable. He perceived how ludicrous this joyful marching round must
seem to English eyes; and for a moment felt ashamed for himself and his
friends. But the next minute, having turned the corner of the church,
he met his young wife's smile, and grew once more exultant. The lady
in the carriage beside Asad was very ugly, and no longer young.
Proudly he followed the musician round again, and, once more abreast of
the carriage, returned the contemptuous smile of the son of Costantin.
And then the music ceased, as the procession passed into the darkness
of the little church.
