...Tarah Bey M.D., Fakir and Mystic, had just finished his first act at Symphony Hall. It began with a display of long pins and longer knives which members of the audience examined for proper honing. After putting himself into what he identified as a cataleptic trance, Bey declared himself insensible to pain and asked those on stage to prove it by sticking the pins into...
Several people started for the Bey with poised pins and had to line up for order's sake. Then they began. Before long, Tarah was clothed in a swath of white cloth, a smile to show he didn't mind at all, and about ten pins.

Unlike the Sultan of Morocco, who is a genuine descendant of the Prophet, the Bey is a semiliterate ex-Turkish functionary whom the French in 1943 hand-picked as their stooge.
