...course some well-meaning person smuggled a single bunch of violets onto the bier, last week, and they were not disturbed. But there was no music in the Embassy. And there were only, two women-Mme.

...Noah, Moses, Joseph, of the great Horned Alexander; here is denounced the idolatry of those who worship Christ as the Son of God. The Koran was dictated by, or remembered from the sayings of, the great Prophet to whom Angel Gabriel brought messages. In heaven is Allah's "well-guarded tablet" and on earth, in the mosques of Allah, the Koran is for all to see on hanging tablets. They bear the Holy Words written in dainty, writhing Arabic script. Barefooted Mohammedans glance at them often, mumble reverently...
