It is unleavened, baked in long thin strips, and is of suet-like consistency.
The hut, like most native houses in Persia, had no chimney, the only outlet for the smoke being through the narrow doorway.

The Khivan arrived with the horses at six next morning.

By seven o'clock we were well on the road, which for the first ten miles or so led by the sea-shore, through dense thickets of brushwood, alternating with patches of loose drifting sand.

I was agreeably disappointed in the ponies; for though it was deep, heavy going, they stepped out well and freely.

The clear sunshine, keen air, and lovely scenery seemed to have the same inspiriting effect on them as on ourselves.
The _coup d'oeil_ was indeed a lovely one.
