"One wife is enough for any man, heaven knows, and anybody that hankers after more than one is a fool!" I didn't really like his axent; he'd been layin' it up, I guess what I said about vittles, but I didn't mind it.
And we went through the different quarters of the city.

The little stores and bazars by the side of the street wuz full of real nice things to sell, rich Eastern woven goods, embroideries, cushions, curtains, rugs, lamps, jewels, ornaments, trinkets of all kinds, etc., etc.

There is more than a hundred of these little booths and stores in Jerusalem, and all full of handsome things.

I loved to look at 'em, though Josiah tried to draw me away.
Sez he, "You don't want to buy here; you can do as well agin in Jonesville tradin' off your butter and eggs, and probable git a chromo throwed in." I didn't argy, but I bought a string of beads for Tirzah Ann and a pipe for Thomas J., the wood of which growed on the Mount of Olives, so the man said.
I told Josiah they would prize 'em high havin' come from Jerusalem.
And he said, "They never see Jerusalem," he said they wuz growed over in New Jersey, and when I asked him how he knew, he said he re_cog_nized the berries and the grain of the wood.
But he couldn't no such thing, and I presoom the man told considerable truth.

And we see Rabbis, Turkish cavalry, common people livin' in the queer little housen jest as they did in Jerusalem, and the priests goin' through their religious ceremonies jest the same.
