Chapter VIII
"What! will he be in both directions at the same time, and here likewise?" "No, not that; but he will follow you." The Arabs were willing to believe that there was a chance of recovering their property on the road they had been intending to follow, especially as the stolen horse and camel had been taken in that direction. They determined, therefore, to continue their journey. Too late they perceived their folly in treating Golah as they had done.
