I thus bade the Commissioner farewell and assured him that I shall devote to this matter all my attention and care, and I declared that I shall call up the elders of al-Darāwīš and the rest of the village in a state of emergency on the occasion of the return of Ḥāmid Muṣṭafā al-Beḥēri, who had been blessed by Allah in the land of the Franks, and his wife, Lady Simone, who was coming with him from the lands of the Gauls, and the Franks, and the outlanders.\n...\nWe exerted ourselves for two weeks to carry out what we had agreed upon and to oversee the cleaning and the reconstruction. In the many nights before their arrival, we would sit in my quarters and discuss what we had completed. Our talk, however, was not devoid of tales about the lands of the French lady. In our exchanges, some of the attendants were among the educated members of al-Darāwīš, and they called up the Old War, which raged between us and the French about 150 years ago. Among our remembrances (and this is something that my grandmother has transmitted and my grandfather has verified, may Allah have mercy on them both) was that the Gauls had dwelled in al-Darāwīš for many years and that they (May Allah shield us from sin!) lay together with our women in impure and unsanctified beds, though a number of them had settled in our lands and converted to Islam and then married some of our women, and those men later plied some trade or tilled the earth. And from the venerable elderly of our village, who passed on to us reports from the bygone generations, we learned that, from our village and the adjoining ones, 17 thousand people were put to death by the hands of Simone's people. Upon learning this, we were deeply grieved and intensely enraged, but, thanks to the Imam of our mosque, we determined that this was something of the past and were told that rightful retaliatory killing is voided after seven successive generations. And, while giggling, we also worked out the secret behind the rich and lively whiteness with which the skin of our daughters and wives are infused and the many-colored eyes of our children, from Faraskur to ʿEzbat el-Borj in Damietta and from Port Said to Alexandria.",

I thus bade the Commissioner farewell and assured him that I shall devote to this matter all my attention and care, and I declared that I shall call up the elders of al-Darāwīš and the rest of the village in a state of emergency on the occasion of the return of Ḥāmid Muṣṭafā al-Beḥēri, who had been blessed by Allah in the land of the Franks, and his wife, Lady Simone, who was coming with him from the lands of the Gauls, and the Franks, and the outlanders.\n...\nWe exerted ourselves for two weeks to carry out what we had agreed upon and to oversee the cleaning and the reconstruction. In the many nights before their arrival, we would sit in my quarters and discuss what we had completed. Our talk, however, was not devoid of tales about the lands of the French lady. In our exchanges, some of the attendants were among the educated members of al-Darāwīš, and they called up the Old War, which raged between us and the French about 150 years ago. Among our remembrances (and this is something that my grandmother has transmitted and my grandfather has verified, may Allah have mercy on them both) was that the Gauls had dwelled in al-Darāwīš for many years and that they (May Allah shield us from sin!) lay together with our women in impure and unsanctified beds, though a number of them had settled in our lands and converted to Islam and then married some of our women, and those men later plied some trade or tilled the earth. And from the venerable elderly of our village, who passed on to us reports from the bygone generations, we learned that, from our village and the adjoining ones, 17 thousand people were put to death by the hands of Simone's people. Upon learning this, we were deeply grieved and intensely enraged, but, thanks to the Imam of our mosque, we determined that this was something of the past and were told that rightful retaliatory killing is voided after seven successive generations. And, while giggling, we also worked out the secret behind the rich and lively whiteness with which the skin of our daughters and wives are infused and the many-colored eyes of our children, from Faraskur to ʿEzbat el-Borj in Damietta and from Port Said to Alexandria.",
